November Specials & Monarch Health Newsletter

A Word from

Dr. Cole-Sedivy

A vaccine to protect against pneumonia and other respiratory infections, Prevnar 13, has been recommended for routine use by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC). Both the ACIP and the CDC recommend use of Prevnar 13 in conjunction with the immunization, Pneumovax23, another pneumonia vaccine. Prevnar 13 is to be given once at least 1 year apart from the Pneumovax23 at the age of 65 or older. Despite these recommendations, Medicare will not pay for both. However, Prevnar 13 and Pneumovax23 are available at Monarch Health at your cost. Call to schedule it now!

Ebola is not a threat to the U.S., Influenza is!

Ebola (EBV) spreads through direct contact through skin or mucous membranes) with blood, secretions and bodily fluids of infected patients. Men who have recovered from EBV can still transmit the virus through their semen for up to seven weeks.

Healthcare workers can be infected if they do not follow strict precautions because the patients the deal with are very sick at this stage of EBV and may have diarrhea, be vomiting or be hemorrhaging. Patients early in the disease process may be difficult to identify as fever is a common presenting symptom of many illnesses.

The U.S. has s good healthcare system and will be able to track patients exposed to EBV. Nigeria has been declared free of EBV as they did a good job of tracking the nearly 900 people exposed to EBV. As a result there were only 20 confirmed cases of EBV in Nigeria. EBV poses little risk to the U.S. general population.

Influenza

Influenza kills an average of 36,000 individuals per year and in 2013-14 there were 108 pediatric deaths and 90% of those were not immunized. Please get your flu shots!

In Good Health,
