Not only for kids!



Oh no, that notion is very wrong...as we grow older, we as adult needs shots also. Say for example, deseases such as hepatitis, measles, and influenza among others are so called vaccine-preventable deseases that affect adults as much as children too. Although we target children on our immunization programs that it reduces the incidence of deseases and deaths also, but it appears that among adults like me only very small number have received immunizations to help them protect against these kind of illnesses.

To receive these appropriate immunizations, no matter how healthy you are, it plays a vital role in safeguarding our wealth...and that is our health.

Vaccines according to health authorities are among the safest medicines available. And getting the recommended vaccination is one of the most effective ways to stay healthy. Take it from doc!

Make sure you are protected...
Get the vaccination you need...

Being protected...




Went to see our doctor last Saturday, for a check up. Got flu shots also...to protect us from getting flu specially now that rainy season is near. We are about to have also the pneumoccocal shots that will protect us from getting pneumonia and meningitis.
Flu is very common ailment during rainy season...that's why we should be very very careful about our health now. Like what the doctor says, it's an investment, an ounce of prevention is much better than an ounce of cure...

I am still contemplating on whether to have an epidural shots to reduce pain on my back or just have the traction instead...I am still thinking about how would I decide on this matter. I wish to have a good decision in the end.
