Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Ignoring symptoms: If you have symptoms of an illness, don't ignore them. See your doctor promptly to get a diagnosis and treatment.

• Not getting vaccinated: Vaccinations are an important way to prevent serious diseases. Make sure you and your family are up to date on all recommended vaccinations.
• Self-treating chronic conditions: Chronic conditions require regular monitoring and treatment. Self-treating can be dangerous and can lead to complications.
