mandatory childhood immunizations :: Article Creator A Parent's Guide To Well Child Visits State Zip Code Country Long Island Parents Push Back Against Vaccinations, Pediatricians Say An increasing number of Long Island parents are questioning, resisting or refusing to vaccinate their infants and young children for common childhood diseases such as measles, whooping cough and hepatitis, or delaying the schedule of immunization, according to some pediatricians. The reluctance comes amid a tumultuous period in Washington, as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a prominent vaccine skeptic who serves as President Donald Trump's Health and Human Services secretary, last week removed all 17 members of a scientific committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to use vaccines. On Wednesday, Kennedy named eight new members to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, including a nurse who critics contend has spr...

DRIVE-THROUGH FLU VACCINATIONS IN DOUGLAS COUNTY - kqennewsradio.com

-

September 30, 2019 3:55 a.m.

Douglas Public Health Network, in partnership with local emergency management and medical personnel, will be providing free flu vaccinations October 19th from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Tri City fire station.

A release from DPHN said the vaccines will be given as part of a drive-through point of dispensing exercise and are available to anyone 6 months and older.

The release said if a widespread disease or other emergency were to occur, it may be necessary for the local health department to activate PODs to dispense large amounts of vaccines, antibiotics, or other medicines to the community. This POD exercise allows county officials to practice emergency plans and is an opportunity for community members to get vaccinated against the flu and be involved in emergency preparedness in Douglas County.

Public Health Officer Dr. Bob Dannenhoffer said “influenza comes around every year and can be very dangerous for some seniors, those with weak immune systems and the occasional otherwise healthy child or young adult who gets a severe case of the flu”. He said based on this years’ experience in Australia, this year is predicted to be an average or above average year for the flu. Dannenhoffer said this year’s flu vaccine seems to be well matched for the expected flu viruses. He said “the very best thing you can do to protect yourself and others in the community is to get a flu shot”.

The release said that POD participants will receive flu vaccinations, free of charge and administered by area health professionals. Participants can remain in their vehicle or take advantage of a walk-up option.

Call Douglas Public Health Network at 440-3571 for more information about the event.

advanced primary care of the ozarks :: Article Creator Integrating Rx With Advanced Primary Care Will Unlock Better Health America's healthcare industry has been squeezed tightly over the past few years with post-pandemic fallout, a declining economy and high consumer expectations. Retail pharmacies are no exception, and it's clear that the traditional pharmacy model is in crisis. With rising costs for medications and supplies and changing consumer retail habits, this doesn't bode well for the brick-and-mortar community pharmacy. Simply put: the traditional pharmacy model is unsustainable. We will soon see a rash of closing retail pharmacies and consumers scrambling to fill needed prescriptions affordably. You might be asking yourself why this should matter to you as HR and benefit professionals. I serve as chief human resources officer for a company that works with many large employers concerned about healthcare costs and the de...
