RaeAnn Tucker joined Seth on Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about the infectious season and how to avoid getting sick. As the holiday season approaches, flu and COVID-19 cases are on the rise, prompting health officials to urge the public to take necessary precautions. RaeAnn Tucker recently highlighted the importance of vaccinations, available at First Choice Healthcare Clinics in Kewanee, Colona, and Toulon.
