You can now walk in for a flu-shot.

Things to know about the 2025-2026 flu shots
✅️They are all trivalent, containing 3 components to protect against 3 main groups of circulating seasonal influenza viruses.
✅️They are all preservative-free.
✅️The best times to get vaccinated against the flu are in September and October, although you can get it in July or August based on personal choice or your provider’s recommendation.
✅️Most insurance plans cover the annual flu vaccination as preventive care so that you don’t have to pay for it. It is also available at a low cost if you do not have insurance.
✅️The flu shot can be given at the same time as other vaccines (live or non-live).
✅️Common reactions to the flu shot include injection site reactions such as soreness, warmth, and, in some cases, slight swelling. You can also have headaches and/or body aches and pains. These reactions usually last less than 2 days. Tylenol is best to take for these reactions as it does not have anti-inflammatory effects, allowing you to mount the maximum immune response.
✅️Getting a yearly flu shot is the best way to prevent flu and its potentially serious complications.

The Nasal Flu Vaccine (FluMist)
✅️Recommended for healthy people ages 2 through 49.
✅️It is a live-attenuated vaccine, meaning the virus is still alive but has been weakened to prevent a flu infection after administration.
✅️The 2025-2026 formulation is also trivalent and preservative free.
✅️It can be self-administered or given by another person.
✅️It can be given at the same time as other vaccines (live or non-live). If it is NOT given at the same time as another LIVE vaccine, they should be spaced at least 4 weeks apart.
✅️The nasal flu vaccine is not recommended in pregnancy, children younger than 2 years old, adults 50 years and older, people with a history of severe allergic reaction to it or to a previous dose of any flu vaccine, children 2 through 17 years old who are receiving aspirin- or salicylate-containing medications and people who are immunocompromised.
✅️It is also contraindicated in certain chronic conditions. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before you use this formulation.

May is Mental Health Awareness month!

Don’t forget to check in on yourself ☺️

The theme by Mental Health America is “Turn Awareness into action” encouraging individuals and communities to move beyond understanding mental health issues and to take reasonable action to promote well-being.

NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Health) is using the theme, “In Every Story, There’s Strength,” highlighting the power of personal testimonies to provide hope for those with mental health struggles. Each shared story can offer hope and the possibility of recovery.

Don’t just check in on yourself. Check in on a friend, an acquaintance, a relative, a colleague or anyone else you haven't seen in a while.

April is Stress Awareness Month 🙂

How do you manage stress? Are we managing stress effectively?

Effects of chronic stress include:
✅️Feelings of fear, anger, sadness, worry, numbness, or frustration
✅️Changes in appetite, energy, desires, and interests
✅Trouble concentrating and making decisions
✅️Nightmares or problems sleeping
✅Physical reactions, such as headaches, body pains, stomach problems, or skin rashes
✅️Worsening of chronic health problems and mental health conditions
✅Increased use of alcohol, drugs, and other substance

✔️Stress management practices can vary from person to person
✔️Dealing with stress triggers should be the first step in stress management. For instance, if watching scary movies is a stress trigger for you, your first step in stress management should be to stop watching scary movies, NOT taking an anti-anxiety medication. It might be a bit more challenging if your trigger is not completely avoidable, for instance, workplace dynamics. In this instance, behavior modification/mindset change would be necessary.

Here are a few practical ways we can manage stress/anxiety:

MIND CARE
❇️Take breaks from any source of mental stress, e.g., the news. Excessive consumption of news about traumatic events can evoke fear/anxiety/stress
✳️Make time to de-stress.
❇️Take deep breaths, stretch, or schedule time alone to meditate
❇️Keeping a journal to write your thoughts down can be cathartic and stress-relieving
❇️Spend time with nature - this has been shown to lower stress hormone levels, relieve stress and anxiety, improve mood, and boost feelings of happiness and wellbeing
❇️Practice gratitude daily by reminding yourself of things you are grateful for
❇️Spend time with people you love and trust.

BODY CARE
❇️Get enough sleep (Adults need 7 or more hours per night)
❇️Staying active can improve your emotional and physical well-being
❇️Engage in healthy eating habits
❇️Avoid alcohol intake
❇️Avoid the use of illicit drugs or the use of prescription drugs in ways other than prescribed
❇️Avoid smoking, va**ng, and the use of other to***co products
❇️Schedule a visit with your provider for regular health appointments, tests, screenings, and vaccinations.
