WebMD offers a back to school checklist that includes immunizations, hearing and vision tests, school contact information, and services provided by your child’s school, to name only a few.

Another important item for your checklist is puchasing a washable keyboard and mouse for your child. These are heavy duty, flexible, waterproof products that can be cleaned thoroughly without damaging them. These products also decrease the chance of spreading disease-causing germs and bacteria. Purchase yours at wetkeys.com.   

The Chicago Daily Herald reports that parents are backing in-school immunizations for the Swine Flu for their kids. As a parent, I support this idea.

As a parent, I also recommend that hand-washing be greatly encouraged in schools and the use of cleanable computer equipment. Specifically, washable keyboards and mice. With kids constantly on the computer and sharing computer keyboards, keyboards can become a breeding ground for disease. These keyoards are also heavy duty keyboards and sanitary keyboards that can be wiped down with disinfectant as often as necessary. I purchased mine at Wetkeys.com.  

Since purchasing my washable full size keyboard and mouse from wetkeys.com, I check their website regularly for updates on Swine Flu info around the world and get their info from sources like the CDC, Bloomberg News, and World Health Organization. These guys are great about posting the latest numbers, which is important to me and my family.

I purchased these heavy duty keyboards, that are cleanable keyboards and they are a great addition to my family’s health care maintenance. You can’t be too careful, especially with school starting back soon, and flu season around the corner.
