Antibiotic Awareness Week is a global call to action to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR)—a growing threat that makes infections harder to treat and puts lives at risk. This year’s theme reminds us that everyone has a role in preserving the power of antibiotics.

Key Reminders:
🚫 Antibiotics do not treat viruses like colds, flu or COVID-19.
💊 Only take antibiotics when prescribed by a healthcare provider.
♻️ Never share or save antibiotics for future use.
🧼 Prevent infections through handwashing, vaccines, clean air and healthy habits.

Let’s work together to keep antibiotics effective for generations to come. Learn more at: www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CHCQ/HAI/Pages/AAW.aspx
