Nutcrackers want protection from the flu too

The holiday season brings lots of parties and gatherings, but it also brings people with colds and the flu into close contact with one another. In an effort to help prevent the spread of these illnesses, the MGH Walk-In Clinic is encouraging patients with a cough to wear a face mask while in the hospital. To draw attention to this message and celebrate the holidays at the same time, the Walk-In Clinic has displayed three nutcrackers with one of them proudly wearing a face mask.
