National Handwashing Awareness Week

December 7, 2025 – December 13, 2025

National Handwashing Awareness Week is the first full week of December, a yearly observance sponsored by the Henry the Hand Foundation, emphasizing that proper handwashing is a simple yet powerful way to prevent illnesses like flu, colds, and COVID-19, especially during cold & flu season. It encourages everyone to adopt key habits, like washing hands when dirty and before eating, and avoiding touching the face (eyes, nose, mouth) to stop germ transmission.
