The local air quality has been Orange recently. That's "Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups." Children, when you're pregnant, and people with chronic medical conditions like heart disease are more at risk.

Stay indoors and use air filters or use an N95 face mask when outdoors. Get medical help if you don't feel well.

It's respiratory virus season. RSV can make young babies and older adults very sick.

The signs that a sick baby needs to go to the hospital include:
- chest "caving"
- blue or gray lips, mouth or fingernails
- noisy breathing or a pause in breathing

We have the RSV vaccine in stock, which is recommended during pregnancy and for infants to prevent severe illness.
