Pneumonia is a respiratory infection when the air sacs of the lungs become inflamed and may fill with fluid or pus. This can lead cough, fever, chest pain, and shortness of breath.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the pneumococcal (pneumonia-preventing) vaccination is recommended for children younger than 5 years old and adults 50 years or older. The CDC also recommends the vaccine for children and adults who may be at an increased risk for pneumococcal disease, such as those who have immunocompromising or chronic conditions.

Currently, there are four vaccines recommended for protection against pneumococcal disease in the United States. More than 80% of healthy adults who receive the PPSV23 pneumonia vaccine develop protective antibodies usually within 2-3 weeks after the vaccination. In healthy adults, these antibody levels can last for up to 5 years. Overall, the vaccine is estimated to be about 60-70% effective in preventing invasive pneumococcal disease caused by the strains it covers.

If you have questions about the pneumococcal vaccine, consult with your physician.

Rehabilitation interventions can serve as a pivotal component in the management of diabetes. Clinical evidence shows that physical and occupational therapies can enhance strength, mobility, and overall function for people living with diabetes.
Benefits of a structured rehabilitation plan include:
· Improved mobility. Exercise training helps the body use glucose more effectively and improves insulin sensitivity.
· Enhanced cardiovascular health. Physical activity supports heart and vascular function, reducing the risk of diabetes-related heart disease.
· Supported independence. Rehabilitation programs focus on maintaining strength, balance, and function to enhance everyday living and quality of life.
· Prevention of foot complications. Education and targeted exercises improve circulation, balance, and wound healing, helping to prevent foot ulcers and infections.
Overall, rehabilitation helps individuals with diabetes live healthier, more active lives.

Should you get a COVID-19 vaccination this year? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention strongly recommends a vaccination for everyone who is eligible. COVID-19 vaccines can significantly reduce the risk of severe illness, hospitalization, and even death. In addition, vaccines lower the likelihood of spreading the virus to others, and they protect against emerging variants.
While it’s possible to still get COVID-19 with a vaccination, the course of illness often is milder. Vaccinations remain the best strategy to protect you and your community.
