Know Before You Go

Allergy shots are a safe and effective treatment that can make a big difference in managing your allergy symptoms—but timing matters to ensure your safety and get the best results from your treatment:
✅No vigorous exercise for 2 hours before your appointment
✅No vigorous exercise for 2 hours after your shot

This helps lower your risk of reaction to the shot and keep your care on track.

Public Health Update: Bubonic Plague Case in South Lake Tahoe

A South Lake Tahoe resident recently tested positive for bubonic plague after likely being bitten by an infected flea while camping. The individual is recovering at home.

✅ The risk to our Travis AFB community remains very low. The last known case in California was in 2020, and these cases are extremely rare.

What you should know:
• Plague is caused by the Yersinia pestis bacterium, spread by fleas carried on infected rodents.
• It can cause fever, chills, weakness, nausea, and swollen lymph nodes.
• Early detection and antibiotics make it highly treatable.

Simple precautions help reduce risk:
• Avoid touching or feeding wild animals.
• Use insect repellant with DEET.
• Wear long sleeves and pants when hiking outdoors.
• Keep pets on leashes and use flea protection.
• Contact your provider if you experience concerning symptoms after outdoor activities.

Plague is rare, but with awareness and preventive steps, we can continue to safely enjoy our daily activities.

Patient Safety starts with people like 1st Lt Jessica Courter.

Her vigilance and commitment to detail led her to question the rationale of a prescription order after identifying three medications written to correct one deficiency. By catching this error, she likely prevented a potential overdose with serious cardiac implications.

For her expertise, advocacy, and patient-centered approach, 1st Lt Courter was recognized as our most recent DHA Patient Safety Champion.

Thank you for exemplifying what Ready Reliable Care looks like in action!
