You are at risk for measles if you have not been fully vaccinated or have not had measles in the past, and you travel internationally to areas where measles is spreading. The CDC recommends travelers be fully vaccinated against measles at least 2 weeks before departure. If your trip is less than 2 weeks away and you’re not protected, you should still get a dose of the MMR vaccine (CDC).

Here are six ways to boost your immune system, especially during the cold and flu season (Kaiser).

1. Avoid to***co: To***co use causes inflammation that weakens your immune system and makes you more likely to get sick.
2. Get enough sleep: Sleep helps your body and mind recharge, keeping your immune system strong and healthy. Most adults need about 7 to 8 hours each night.
3. Stress less: When you’re stressed, it can weaken your immune system and make it easier to get sick. To help lower stress, try deep breathing, spending time with friends and family, journaling, and meditation.
4. Eat healthy foods: Try to eat a variety of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins
5. Protect yourself from infection: Avoid germs and viruses, stay up to date on vaccinations, and get regular health screenings.
6. Exercise regularly: Staying active helps your body stay strong and healthy, allowing your immune system to work better.

Practice these healthy habits every day to naturally boost your immune system!

It takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop in the body and provide protection against COVID-19 and influenza virus infection (Johns Hopkins, CDC). That’s why it’s best to get vaccinated before these start to spread in your community. However, it is not too late to get vaccinated!

Prescription opioids carry serious risks of opioid use disorder and overdose. Opioids can slow a person’s breathing, often a sign associated with an opioid overdose that can cause death. The use of prescription opioids can have several side effects, such as opioid dependence. Opioid dependence occurs when the body adjusts its normal functioning around regular opioid use. Unpleasant physical symptoms occur when opioids are stopped (CDC). Talk to your healthcare provider for more information and options. If you or anyone you know needs Narcan, contact Mercy Health by phone or email, or visit your local Mercy Pharmacy Group location .pharmacy.group
