At the 18:20 mark, don’t miss Take 5 With RBC. Pharmacist Amit Joshi discusses the importance of prevention during cold and flu season. Joshi chats about how the influenza vaccine can not only help prevent getting sick and complications related to the flu, but also reduce the severity and duration of symptoms. He also chats about the Be Well loyalty app, developed in partnership between RBC and Rexall. The app helps patients and caregivers manage their prescriptions, earn loyalty points and access their health and medication history — plus, RBC clients can receive extra points when they link their RBC credit cards and debit cards. Sounds like a healthy habit!
