Cold and flu season usually brings a jump in antibiotic requests. A lot of folks still think antibiotics help with viral infections, even though they do not.

A few things you can share:
• Antibiotics do not treat colds, flu, RSV, or most sore throats
• About 30% of outpatient antibiotic prescriptions are unnecessary
• Children are the most likely to get antibiotics they do not need

Nebraska sees this too. A lot of our outpatient prescribing for children is tied to viral infections. People usually just want to feel better fast, so hearing from you helps cut through those assumptions.

A simple message for tomorrow:
"If you have a cold or flu, antibiotics won’t help. Focus on rest, fluids, and symptom care."

Thanks for keeping this message steady in your communities.

“As the holiday season draws near, it’s a perfect time to check in with family and loved ones about Diabetes Awareness. In Nebraska 1 in 10 adults have been told they have diabetes. Let’s use this season of gathering to talk openly: ask “How are you doing with your health?” or “Shall we take a walk together?” Small conversations can lead to big impact. This season isn’t just about food and festivities- it’s about looking out for each other. Here’s to community, health and caring for one another in our Nebraska communities.
For more information on Diabetes visit the Nebraska Chronic Disease Prevention and Control Programs webpage (Chronic Disease Prevention & Control Program). “

Partial November SNAP Benefits Issued to Nebraskans
Lincoln, NE – The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has issued a partial distribution of November Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, following guidance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS).
DHHS is working closely with federal partners to confirm the necessary guidance, logistics, and funding needed to release the remaining November SNAP benefits. The department remains committed to delivering these remaining funds to Nebraskans as quickly as possible.
"After guidance was received from the USDA authorizing partial issuances, the team immediately worked to ensure these payments were issued as soon as possible,” said DHHS Office of Economic Assistance Director Shannon Grotrian. “Now that the federal government is officially reopened, we will work to distribute the remaining benefits as soon as the USDA provides final authorization.”
Nebraskans may check their EBT card balance by calling 1-877-247-6328, online at https://www.ebtedge.com/, or through the ebtEDGE app on your phone.
Further information will be distributed as additional guidance is received from federal partners.
