Complimentary Touch-Free Hand Sanitizer...

After a group discussion, we have decided to place our “This is Public Health” sticker on the touch-free hand sanitizer located at the entrance of The University Mall in Tampa. The sanitizer is inside the main entrance facing Fowler Avenue. We have placed our sticker on top of the board which advertises the complimentary hand sanitizer. We chose this spot because a public hand sanitizer prevents people from spreading germs, especially in a place that is very public. Having the hand sanitizer at the entrance of the mall encourages people to keep their hands clean at the start of their shopping trip. Sanitation prevents the spread of infectious diseases. Ever since the Swine Flu epidemic, people have been more cautious to make sure they wash their hands regularly to avoid getting sick. The availability of the hand sanitizer to the public allows people to avoid spreading germs. The location of the hand sanitizer is perfect because right when you walk in the mall entrance, the first thing you see is the hand sanitizer, and right when you leave the mall, it is the last thing you see. The availability of the hand sanitizer allows people to avoid spreading germs to others and to themselves. While our group was at the mall to test out the sanitizer, we realized the machine was out of sanitizer! For better results and a continuous impact of killing germs, someone should have the responsibility of refilling the sanitizer machine whenever it is needed.

In conclusion, this touch-free hand sanitizer is a representation of public health becasue it lessens the chances of people contracting and spreading infectious diseases.
