We are seeing all sorts of stuff out there this week.
Hand Foot Mouth is rampant, but the young kids with it seem to be handling the symptoms without being super miserable. That is not the case for the adults who are getting it. These folks are quite uncomfortable.
We are also seeing strep throat. so sore throats are worth checking out, especially if they come along with any fever. Congestion makes it less likely to be strep, but not impossible.
We are seeing tummy bug, with some vomiting and diarrhea.
There are lots of coughs and colds. Some kids have been croupy. I am not seeing tons of wheezing.
Media reports that the nasty Mid West Virus that hospitalized hundreds of kids has been seen in California but not in the Bay Area yet.
Bear with us about the flu vaccines.
As of today we have about 100 doses of flu mist left and about 40 doses of the baby flu.
We will be getting enough to vaccinate all of our patients, there is just an irritating lag in the delivery.
There is no sign of Flu out there thank goodness!
wash those hands and stay well!
