Larkin Community Hospital would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and community of Charlie Kirk whose life was tragically taken earlier today. We stand firmly against all forms of violence and join others in honoring his memory.

We are aware of a video circulating on social media in which an individual is claimed to be working with Larkin Community Hospital. We wish to make it clear that this individual is a prior Resident of Larkin Community Hospital who completed her Residency in 2018. She is not currently employed, does not have privileges, and has no current affiliation with our hospital or within the Larkin health System.

The views expressed in the video do not represent the mission, vision, or values of our organization.

We remain committed to compassion, integrity, and care for all who walk through our doors.

We have the Tools to Fight Omicron
Vaccines- Vaccines remain the best public health measure to protect people from COVID-19, slow transmission, and reduce the likelihood of new variants emerging.
•COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective at preventing severe illness, hospitalizations, and death.
•Scientists are currently investigating Omicron, including how protected fully vaccinated people will be against infection, hospitalization, and death.
•CDC recommends that everyone 5 years and older protect themselves from COVID-19 by getting fully vaccinated.
•CDC recommends that everyone ages 16 years and older get a booster shot after completing their primary COVID-19 vaccination series. You are eligible for a booster at 5 months after completing Pfizer-BioNTech primary series, 6 months after completing Moderna primary series, and 2 months after the initial J&J/Janssen vaccine. Individuals ages 16-17 are only eligible for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.
Masks- Masks offer protection against all variants.•CDC continues to recommend wearing a mask in public indoor settings in areas of substantial or high community transmission, regardless of vaccination status.
•CDC provides advice about masks for people who want to learn more about what type of mask is right for them depending on their circumstances.
Testing- Tests can tell you if you are currently infected with COVID-19.
•Two types of tests are used to test for current infection: nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) and antigen tests. NAAT and antigen tests can only tell you if you have a current infection.
•Individuals can use the COVID-19 Viral Testing Tool to help determine what kind of test to seek. -Additional tests would be needed to determine if your infection was caused by Omicron.
-Visit your state, tribal, local, or territorial health department’s website to look for the latest local information on testing.

Until we know more about the risk of Omicron, it is important to use all tools available to protect yourself and others.

Flu & Pregnancy
A Flu Vaccine is the Best Protection Against Flu
Getting an influenza (flu) vaccine is the first and most important step in protecting against flu. Pregnant people should get a flu shot and not the nasal spray flu vaccine. Flu shots given during pregnancy help protect both the pregnant parent and the baby from flu.
Vaccination has been shown to reduce the risk of flu-associated acute respiratory infection in pregnant people by up to one-half.
Pregnant people who get a flu vaccine also are helping to protect their babies from flu illness for the first several months after their birth, when they are too young to get vaccinated.
