First, Covid... then Monkeypox... then polio...

Scarlet fever will probably be next.

…with amoxicillin (or Zithromax for those allergic to the penicillin family), and there is no immunization involved/available, people shouldn’t have any reason to avoid being treated for strep.

They were really rough .... the older you get, the tougher they are. Believe me! But the measles were the worst. A true nightmare.

at the age of 3 to 37 I never got the measles. But alas I woke up with extreme headaches and pains going from left to right over and over again. Then I noticed what appeared to be a bite on the left side of my spine. So I tried to treat it and control the pains. The only pain reliever that worked sorta of was Advil. After two weeks pain I finally went to the ER.

The doctor took one look at my my back and said you have the shingles. I told him "but I never had the measles" and he replied "yes you have".

That said with the recent advocating against shots for children and many refusing COVID shots and refuse to wear masks or doing anything to protect themselves and their love ones by some people is not helpful.

Thx...

I'm sure the clarification will be appreciated...

Cheers...

That is all...

but shingles I will never forget.

And it was so worth it.

Better safe than sorry...

Polio vaccination: Routine poliovirus vaccination of U.S. adults (i.e., persons aged >18 years) is not necessary.
Most adults do not need polio vaccine because they were already vaccinated as children and their risk of exposure
to polioviruses in the United States is minimal.

However, some adults are at higher risk for exposure to poliovirus and should consider polio vaccination:

Adult immunization schedule for other communicable diseases:

Your community health department can help get one's immunizations up to date, often for a nominal fee...

Y'all be careful out there...

That is all...
