FLU SHOT MYTHS VS FACTS💉😷

"The flu vaccine can give me the flu" -FALSE. The standard flu vaccine contains inactivated virus particles, which can't cause an infection. Any symptoms experienced (like a sore arm, low-grade fever, or body aches) are a mild, short-lived immune response as your body builds protection

"I got the shot and still got sick, so it doesn't work" -FALSE. It did work, just maybe not 100%. This can happen for 3 reasons: 1) you caught a different, non-flu virus, like a cold. 2) You were exposed to the flu before the vaccine had time to take full effect, which takes about two weeks. 3) The virus strain circulating that season was a different strain than the one in the vaccine, though the vaccine often still reduces the severity

"I'm young and healthy, so I don't need the vaccine" -FALSE. Everyone 6 months and old is recommended to get the vaccine. Healthy people can still get very sick and spread the virus to vulnerable people

"I got it last year, so I'm covered for this year" -FALSE. You need a flu shot ever year. The virus changes very quickly and a new vaccine is formulated annually to match the strains predicted to be most common. Also, your body's immune protections from the vaccine fades over time

"It's better to wait until flu season peaks" -FALSE. The best time to get vaccinated is as soon as the vaccine becomes available in the early fall. It takes TWO WEEKS to build immunity

"The flu is just a bad cold" -FALSE. It is a highly contagious respiratory illness that can lead to severe complications.

Happy New Year to all of our amazing patients! We want to start this year off right by helping you become the best version of yourself and feeling great! Here are some frequently asked questions of our new Botox Med Spa:

What is Botox?
It's a neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes facial muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

What are the risks?
Common side effects can include bruising, swelling and headaches. Serious risks are rare but can include allergic reactions.

Who Can administer Botox?
Botox should be administered by a qualified healthcare professional.

Does insurance cover it? How much does it cost?
Insurance does not cover cosmetic Botox. Our unit pricing is $8 per unit for the first visit, and $10 per unit every visit after. If you aren't sure how many units you will need, schedule a consultation with our provider, Danette Cogdill, to talk about what kind of Botox you are interested in, and how many units it will require!

Our Botox Med Spa is waiting for you, by appointment only, every Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday!

Urgent Care- non-life-threatening; cold, flu, sore throat, ear aches, minor burns or cuts (may need sutures), sprains/strains, minor fractures, simple rashes, UTI's, physicals

ER- life-threatening; chest pains, signs of stroke (sudden numbness/weakness, difficulty speaking), severe bleeding, major head injuries, difficulty breathing, major broken bones (compound fracture), severe burns, seizures, poisoning

Cost:

Urgent Care- typically less expensive than ER

ER- generally most expensive option
