#Measles Outbreak

This is what happens when one does not have a reasonable knowledge of biology and an understanding of viruses and vaccination. A lack of knowledge can lead people to believe weird theories that some groups like to popularise.

It's crazy! I had the measles as a kid, then got a mild case of shingles, in college, which is related to measles. Now I have the shingles vaccine. 

You mentioned calling your doctor for these vaccines. Make sure you ask if your insurance or Medicare pays for them. I scratched up my hand and head on some nails in the attic. My daughter, who's a nurse said that I should get a tetanus shot. So I made an appointment at my doctor, who was able to see me right away. However, when I got there, I was informed that Medicare does not pay for Tetanus, unless they treat you for the injury. They said Medicare would pay, if I got it at a drug store. They did give me a flu shot. At CVS, i got the shot, and it was a combo with Whopping Cough and Diphtheria. 

Also on the rise are reported cases of Polio & Tuberculosis.

Adult symptoms to childhood diseases can be very severe and lead to long term health problems. It's not too late for adults to receive child vaccines. But call your doctor's office ahead to ensure they have the vaccines in supply.  They may need to order them from the pharmacy before your visit.
