prepmod vaccine :: Article Creator What Went Wrong With The 'Tiny Nonprofit' Behind The State's Beleaguered Vaccine Site When Gov. Charlie Baker released vaccine eligibility to a million more Massachusetts residents last week, state websites crumpled under a virtual stampede of people rushing to secure appointments. Users were left in online limbo for hours, and many gaped at how something so critical could be entrusted to, in their eyes, flimsy web services and fragile program designs. "Foolish system. Ill-Designed. Who are the people that designed it?" seethed Steve Rosenfeld, 70, from Worcester in a written comment to WBUR after he failed to get an appointment.

Frozen Raspberries Recalled for Possible Hepatitis A Contamination - ConsumerReports.org

-

Hepatitis A is an inflammation of the liver. Unlike other types of hepatitis, hepatitis A isn’t chronic—it usually clears up on its own. Symptoms include fatigue, low appetite, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and jaundice.

There's no treatment for hepatitis A. Symptoms usually last less than two months, but in some people they can last up to six months, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In rare cases, it can cause liver failure and death. There is a vaccine to prevent hepatitis A. And if you have been infected with the virus, you can't get it again. 

It isn’t known how the berries involved in this particular recall became contaminated, but in general the virus is spread by what experts call the “fecal oral route.”

“If a food worker has the virus and doesn’t adequately wash his or her hands after using the bathroom, the food could become contaminated,” says James E. Rogers, Ph.D., director of food safety research and testing at Consumer Reports. Contaminated water could also be the source.

“Cooking would kill hepatitis A, but freezing does not,” says Rogers. “Most people don’t cook frozen berries in any case."

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...
