As a parent, it’s understandable to want to learn about what’s in vaccines. But as you research, you might come across misleading claims about vaccine ingredients.

Antigens, for example, are a key ingredient in vaccines that help children’s immune systems learn to respond to viruses. Your children encounter antigens in many places they visit each day, including playgrounds. In fact, children can come in contact with up to 6,000 antigens each day.

If you have any additional questions about vaccines and their ingredients, talk with your pediatrician or click the link below.

We pulled this slide from our previous post to highlight it:

MAMMOGRAM RADIATION IS TINY COMPARED TO COMMON EXPOSURES.

Let's put the "radiation risk" in perspective: You'd need 2,500 mammograms to equal the radiation risk of developing breast cancer. Reality? Most women get about 20 mammograms in a lifetime. That means mammograms are 125x more likely to SAVE your life by finding cancer early than to ever cause any harm.

A single mammogram (0.5 mSv) has less radiation than:
- A round-trip flight from NYC to LA (0.6 mSv)
- Annual background radiation from sun, radon, and foods (3 mSv/year)
- Even a banana emits radiation!

Don't let fear keep you from life-saving screenings. 💗

Not a “Big Pharma” stan but more so than “Big Wellness”

It happens. Even to healthy kids. More commonly than any serious side effects of the flu vaccine.

Once reality set in, I became angry and wanted some answers. I felt cheated of the opportunity to protect my daughter

This is great!

Successful flu vaccine clinic! 19 flu vaccines given!

Still waiting on those COVID vaccines to come in…may set up a clinic for next Saturday morning!

10/16/2025

I ordered for the office a week ago but they still haven’t been shipped yet!

*If you have an appointment for this Saturday’s clinic and want to reschedule so you can do both flu and COVID together, message me in the Spruce app please!

We know many Vermonters have been waiting for the new COVID vaccines to arrive in pediatricians' offices so children under 5 years old can be vaccinated. The good news is the vaccines are coming in now and should be available in the next few weeks. Check with your child’s provider to learn more!

Everyone age 6 months and up who wants a COVID vaccine can get one, but it’s especially important for people who are at higher risk to be protected with a COVID vaccine.
And don’t forget to ask about vaccines for flu and RSV, if eligible. Learn more at www.HealthVermont.gov/StayHealthy

As we continue celebrating Vermont Health Careers Awareness, we’re shining a spotlight on the incredible professionals who not only chose careers in healthcare—but chose to stay and serve right here in Vermont.

Meet Kristin Hatch, Doctor of Physical Therapy at Rutland Regional Medical Center! Born and raised in Vermont, Kristin has deep roots in our community.

Here’s what she had to say about her journey into Physical Therapy:

“I was born and raised here in Vermont and have always felt strongly about being a part of and giving back to this community. I knew I wanted to find meaning in my career and help people in some way. A proclivity for science and a love of sports led me toward physical therapy. Best decision I ever made.”

Thank you, Kristin, for your dedication to making Vermont healthier, stronger, and more resilient—one patient at a time.
