Of course the same day that we held our Saturday flu shot clinic, the media was announcing headlines about the flu vaccine being a poor match this season.
The suggestion is still for folks to get the vaccination for at least partial protection. There are often more than one strain that makes the rounds each season, so I would agree with that suggestion.
I actually have not had any positive cases of Flu in here yet.
I have a couple of kids with nasty high fevers for almost a week, they are congested and coughing.
It sure looks like flu, but the tests were negative.
There is a nasty "whatever it is" virus out there.
We are still seeing some strep throat.
Last week and continuing today are more calls about pinworms, so itchy butts or vaginal irritations should rule that out.
This week I am getting a spike in calls about loose stools.
We are coming to the time of year when many folks switch their insurance plans.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE check with your plan to make sure we are on it.
Your best bet is to call the number on your card, but if you have any conflicting information do check in with our biller Susie (you can click the link from our website)
Our receptionist are often not able to verify whether or not your plan is accepted here on the same day as the appointment.
Stay well!
Judy
