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!
