DEERFIELD, Ill. DEC. 12, 2024 – Staying healthy during the holiday season isn't an easy task.

伊利諾伊州迪爾菲爾德,2024年12月12日 – 在假日季節保持健康並不是一件容易的事情。根據沃爾格林的一項近期調查,47%的美國人因爲突發疾病而錯過了近年來的假日活動,幾乎三分之一的人擔心今年會再次發生這種情況。
This 'fear of missing out' (FOMO), and the anxiety it brings, tied to the holiday season is no surprise. Walgreens survey findings indicate Americans are shifting their mindset towards proactive measures to stay well, thus minimizing the risk of missing out on fun holiday festivities and family traditions.
這種對錯過的恐懼(FOMO)及其帶來的焦慮,與假日季節聯繫在一起並不意外。沃爾格林的調查結果表明,美國人正轉變思維,採取積極措施保持健康,從而降低錯過假日樂趣和家庭傳統的風險。
This year, Walgreens holiday campaign focuses on staying healthy through the holidays, offering promos and deals on health and wellbeing essentials.
今年,沃爾格林的假日活動聚焦於在假期中保持健康,提供健康和保健必需品的促銷和折扣。
"Eighty-two percent of survey respondents shared that prioritizing their health and well-being is a key focus," says Heather Hughes, group vice president and general merchandise manager, health and beauty at Walgreens. "Nearly 40 percent plan to take preventative measures, like getting vaccinated."
「82%的調查參與者表示,優先考慮他們的健康和幸福是一個關鍵焦點,」沃爾格林健康與美容的集團副總裁兼總商品經理Heather Hughes說。「近40%的人計劃採取預防措施,比如接種生物-疫苗。」
To stay on track with their wellness goals, Walgreens offers appointments and walk-ins for flu, COVID-19, RSV1, pneumonia (pneumococcal) and other routine vaccinations nationwide2.
爲了更好地實現健康目標,沃爾格林在全國提供流感、新冠病毒、呼吸道合胞病毒、肺炎(肺炎球菌)以及其他常規疫苗的預約和現場接種服務。

- Prioritize self-care with products like Walgreens Lavender Epsom Salt, Walgreens Multipurpose Vibration Therapy Wrap or Walgreens Sleep Aid De-Stress Gummies to help unwind for a good night's sleep or recover after a productive workout.

Walgreens survey findings also uncovered that this mindset shift towards preventative measures to stay holiday healthy is even higher among younger Americans.
沃爾格林的調查結果還發現,這種向預防措施轉變的心態在年輕美國人中更加明顯。
In fact, 75 percent of Gen Z and about 70 percent of Millennial respondents stated that they are more likely to make major changes this holiday season to avoid missing out; however, Gen Z and Millennial respondents find it harder to find affordable health and wellness products compared to older Americans.
實際上,75%的Z世代和約70%的千禧一代受訪者表示,他們在這個假日季節更有可能做出重大改變,以避免錯過;然而,與年長的美國人相比,Z世代和千禧一代的受訪者發現很難找到負擔得起的健康和保健產品。
"This growing momentum to prioritize health ahead of the holiday season is inspiring and encouraging," notes Hughes. "As schedules get busier, we're dedicated to supporting our customers with convenient, affordable access to health and well-being products and services that fit seamlessly into their lives."
"在假日季節前優先關注健康的這種增長勢頭令人振奮和鼓舞,"休斯談到。"隨着日程變得更加繁忙,我們致力於爲客戶提供便利、經濟實惠的健康和福祉產品及服務,幫助融入他們的生活中。"
