An Ounce of Prevention - Making shopping during cold and flu season less risky

Every flu season brings with it a host of complications, especially in the very young and those with compromised immune systems. The recent shortage in flu vaccine across the country has made this flu season particularly scary for some parents. My Precious Kid, an Oregon based company specializing in child safety products, partly in response to parent fears.

“You can’t avoid going grocery shopping even in the midst of a flu epidemic; the shopping cart covers provide an extra dimension of security. They can’t stop your child from getting the flu, but it can decrease the likelihood,” says Green, founder of My Precious Kid.

My Precious Kid has been providing safety education and products to the community for nearly five years. Since it’s inception in 2001, Green has established an education program for parents and caregivers as well as for independent sales representative.

“Education is one vital key in prevention of illness and injury to children. Our mission statement clearly defines education as our top priority. Products like the shopping cart covers, hand sanitation gels and frequent hand washing all reduce the spread of both viral and bacterial infections,” says Green.
