Vaccines are a safe and effective way to protect against deadly diseases. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, before a vaccine is approved and recommended for use, it goes through extensive testing labs and clinical trials with thousands of volunteers. After approval, numerous health agencies continuously monitor vaccine safety. But fears still linger, often based on myths, outdated studies, or misinformation. Here are three common myths about vaccines and the scientific truths behind them:

Myth #1: Vaccines cause autism.
Truth: This claim came from a study that was later proven to be fraudulent and retracted. Large-scale research continues to show no link between vaccines and autism.

Myth #2: Too many vaccinations weaken the immune system.
Truth: The current vaccine schedule is carefully tested and safe. Vaccines actually strengthen the immune system.

Myth #3: Vaccines cause new virus variants.
Truth: Variants come from viruses mutating as they spread, not from vaccines. Vaccines help reduce the transmission, slowing the development of new variants.

If you have questions about receiving a vaccination, speak to your healthcare provider.

When temperatures rise, breathing can become more difficult – especially for people with underlying health conditions. While lung or heart disease may come to mind first, several lesser-known factors also can contribute to breathing difficulties in hotter weather, including anemia, anxiety, allergies, asthma, infections, dehydration, and fatigue. Chronic conditions like COPD, irregular heart rhythms, and autoimmune diseases also may flare up in the heat.

If you or someone you know experiences ongoing or sudden shortness of breath in hotter weather, be sure to talk to a healthcare provider.

What is mechanical ventilation? When someone can’t breathe properly on their own, a ventilator may help. This life-saving machine moves air in and out of the lungs – delivering oxygen the body needs and removing carbon dioxide. Ventilators are used when patients are experiencing respiratory failure or severe breathing problems.

Mechanical ventilators work by:
• Delivering air through a fitted mask or a breathing tube inserted into the nose, mouth, or throat
• Warming and moistening the air to keep the airways comfortable and functional
• Breathing for the patient or assisting with breathing as needed, depending on the patient’s condition

Mechanical ventilation gives the body time to rest and heal while ensuring vital organs get the oxygen they need.
