The Three Main Messages of the “Do Bugs Need Drugs?” Campaign:
Handwashing is the best way to stop the spread of infections.
Not all bugs are created equal. Both bacteria and viruses cause respiratory tract infections. Antibiotics work against bacterial infections but not against viral infections such as colds and flu.
Antibiotic resistance is a problem. Use antibiotics wisely to prevent bacteria from becoming resistant to antibiotics.

I might be working on an evaluation project for this campaign!
