October is the month for awareness of the latter issue, while early autumn is the time for vaccinations.
It’s time to get those vaccines — the arrival of fall brings crisp weather and colorful leaves but also some illnesses you’ll want to avoid.I asked two local physicians what advice they were giving their patients this season. Here’s what I learned:
“Although the COVID-19 vaccine and flu vaccine could be taken together, I personally recommend that these two vaccines be separated by one to two weeks to lessen the severity of the mild side effects. The RSV vaccine should be taken one week apart from any other vaccine.”“As we approach fall and increased illness, we are excited to have vaccines for three major illnesses: influenza, COVID and RSV,” Parker says.
Those same practices will keep you, and those around you, healthy as we head into fall and winter. Schedule those vaccines today!With the recent nationwide increase in COVID-19 cases, the federal government is again offering free COVID test kits. It’s useful to always have COVID tests on hand and to bring a test with you when you travel.Domestic violence can happen to anyone of any race, age, sexual orientation, religion or gender, and October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
In many cases, traumatized children are silent victims in homes where domestic violence occurs. In 2022, the Alameda Police Department responded to 206 domestic violence-related cases across the Island.APD representatives are members of the city’s Domestic Violence Task Force that works with other agencies to coordinate domestic violence prevention and intervention services to help end the cycle of domestic violence.
