(HealthNewsDigest.com) - As COVID-19 cases surge, it’s more important than ever to protect ourselves and others by getting vaccinated. Please keep these tips in mind for a safer holiday season:

• Encourage everyone in your household to be fully vaccinated and boosted, including students on break from school
• Get tested, especially if you’re traveling to a high-risk area or if you’re celebrating with someone with a weakened immune system
• Keep your guest list small
• Choose a well-ventilated area to celebrate
• Stay home if you aren’t feeling well
• Don’t delay seeking medical care if you’re ill. Rush On Demand offers virtual e-visits if you prefer to stay home

Rush University Medical Center President and CEO Dr. Omar Lateef offers a message of hope for everyone this season as omicron cases rise.
