What You Can Do to Stay Healthy (from AZ Dept of Health Services website)

There are everyday actions people can take to stay healthy.

  • Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.

Try to avoid close contact with sick people.

  • Influenza is thought to spread mainly person-to-person through coughing or sneezing of infected people.
  • If you get sick, CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.

SHINGLES: Shingles, also called herpes zoster or zoster, is a painful skin rash caused by the varicella zoster virus (VZV). VZV is the same virus that causes chickenpox. If you are over 60, there is a vaccine that can help prevent the disease and its long term painful effects.  Please call our office for an appointment to discuss and/or receive the vaccine. Depending on your insurance there may be a charge (in addition to the office visit) for the vaccine.
