COVID-19 can change slightly as it spreads, sometimes creating new variants that may require updated vaccines. Staying up to date on recommended COVID-19 vaccinations helps restore protection and ensures the best defense against severe illness (LAPH).

Vaccines protect us from getting serious illnesses and feeling really sick by strengthening the body’s natural defenses. Getting vaccinated is especially important for older adults, pregnant people, school-aged children, people with chronic diseases, people with weakened immune systems, and infants and toddlers (LAPH). Talk to your healthcare provider about which vaccines you need!

Modern vaccines contain only the ingredients that are needed for the vaccines to be as safe and effective as possible, which usually includes the antigen to help your body learn to fight germs, adjuvant to help boost the body’s response to the vaccine, stabilizers to keep the vaccine effective after manufacturing, and preservatives to prevent contamination (LAPH and CDC).

Fentanyl test strips (FTS) provide a practical way for people at risk of fentanyl exposure to make safer choices, with studies showing they increase awareness and lead to behavior changes that reduce overdose risk. Research across multiple states found that most users tested drugs before use, and positive results significantly increased safety precautions (CDPH). Protect yourself and contact Mercy Health if you need fentanyl test strips!

Scientific evidence shows that giving multiple vaccines at the same time does not harm a child’s immune system. Children are exposed to hundreds of foreign substances daily through breathing and eating, and a single cold or sore throat exposes them to far more antigens than vaccines do. Combined vaccines save time and money by reducing the number of clinic visits, lessening discomfort through fewer injections, and increasing the likelihood that children receive all recommended vaccinations on schedule (WHO).

We’re excited to introduce our summer interns, in partnership with the Youth Mental Health Academy! Over the next few weeks, our interns will have an opportunity to learn more about health services, resource navigation, and the inner workings of a nonprofit health organization. By the end of the program, they will be creating a social media campaign around what they have learned about health and resources for high school and college youth, so stay tuned for that! In the meantime, please enjoy getting to know our interns 🤗💙
