As children head back to school, infectious disease experts are reminding people that vaccinations should be at the top of your back to school checklist.

New CDC data shows vaccination rates among U.S. kindergarteners have fallen again, as they've done every year since the COVID-19 pandemic. When eligible children aren't vaccinated, the entire population is at higher risk of disease. This , we're explaining "herd immunity."

What is herd immunity?:
• Herd immunity is when enough people in a group have immunity against a given infection, making it difficult for that infection to spread.

How does herd immunity work?:
• If a person is immune to a certain infection, it'll be harder for the virus or bacteria to use you to infect other people or mutate into a new variant.
• Immunity happens through natural infection and vaccination, and experts say vaccination is the safest way to achieve both personal and herd immunity.
Why is herd immunity important?:
• When we achieve herd immunity, we protect ourselves and the most vulnerable members of our community.
• Decreasing vaccination rates among young children put them, their classmates, their families and their communities at higher risk.

Vaccines have nearly eradicated some deadly diseases, so remember to put "immunizations" at the top of your list this year.

Taylor Swift’s dad’s heart looked perfectly fine on an EKG, but a follow-up test uncovered five major blockages.

At Oklahoma Heart Institute, we use the CT cardiac calcium scoring to catch hidden heart disease early, even when other tests look normal. This quick, non-invasive scan can detect plaque buildup before symptoms appear, helping you stay out of the woods and feeling 22 for years to come.

Don’t shake off symptoms or family history. This scan could be the mastermind move that saves your life.

Did you know there is a set of sisters who care for patients at Hillcrest Pryor? On , we're introducing you to Luenda and Brandé! Brandé started at Pryor in 2010 and Luenda in 2011, both as nurses. Their third sister, Daphne, was also a housekeeper at the hospital before she passed away in 2018.

"We'll hold dear the laughter, the tears and the moments we shared, and look forward to reuniting with her in heaven one day," the sisters said.

Brandé said what she admires most about Luenda is her "tireless dedication to her work and her selfless attitude in helping others." Luenda said she loves Brandé's compassion and commitment.

"Not everyone gets to just go hug their sister at work when they have lost a patient or just had a really taxing day, but I do," Brandé said.

"Though our paths diverged, with [Luenda] excelling in emergency nursing and [Brandé] thriving in medsurg, we've both risen to leadership roles," the sisters said. "Our journey together has shaped us into the nurses we are today."

Thank you to all of these amazing sisters for their service to our community!
