As summer comes to a close, families are getting ready for a new school year. Here are steps parents and caregivers can take to help children feel physically, emotionally, and mentally prepared for the year ahead. Safety First Whether walking, biking, or riding the bus, children should know how to get to and from school safely. Remind children to follow traffic signals, use crosswalks, and stay alert. Children who ride bikes should wear a properly fitted helmet. Reflective clothing or accessories can help children be seen when it is dark outside. Younger children may need an adult to go with them, while older

  八月是「全國免疫宣傳月」。這是強調疫苗在保護個人、家庭和社區方面發揮重要作用的時刻。疫苗是預防嚴重疾病並減少其傳播最安全、最有效的方法之一。 兒童免疫接種可以預防麻疹、腮腺炎、風疹、脊髓灰質炎、甲型肝炎和乙型肝炎等嚴重疾病。這些疫苗有助於兒童保持健康,並在他們成長至成年期間提供保護。美國兒科學會提供了一份建議時間表,您可在此檢視。 疫苗接種不僅僅是針對兒童。對於成年人來說,及時接種建議的疫苗同樣重要。全國免疫宣傳月旨在提醒大家檢查自己的疫苗接種狀況,並與醫生討論您可能需要的任何疫苗接種。 根據免疫接種諮詢委員會(ACIP)的建議,大多數成年人都應該及時接種以下常規疫苗: 新型冠狀病毒疫苗 流感疫苗(流行性感冒) 百白破疫苗(破傷風、白喉和百日咳)或者白破疫苗(破傷風和白喉) 您可能需要根據年齡、健康狀況、生活方式、職業或旅行計劃接種其他疫苗。如果您不確定自己是否已接種建議的兒童疫苗,例如水痘疫苗(有助於預防水痘)或 HPV 疫苗(可預防人類乳頭狀瘤病毒),最好也諮詢醫生。 視乎您的年齡和成長地點,某些疫苗在您年幼時可能尚未納入常規接種範圍。即使您在童年時期未接種過疫苗,仍可能面臨感染某些疾病的風險,這些疾病可能導致嚴重的健康併發症、無法工作,以及讓您在照顧親人時面臨挑戰。某些可透過疫苗預防的疾病,在成年後可能特別嚴重。 請瀏覽fideliscare.org/immunizations,獲得兒童和青少年疫苗的完整清單。 老年人也能從疫苗中獲益,因為我們的免疫系統會隨著年齡的增長而自然減弱,從而增加感染的風險。老年人需要接種的重要疫苗包括: 帶狀皰疹疫苗(帶狀皰疹):建議從50歲開始接種,以幫助預防帶狀皰疹及其最常見的併發症——帶狀皰疹後神經痛。 肺炎球菌疫苗:建議65歲及以上成年人以及某些患有特定醫療狀況的個人接種。此疫苗有助於預防包括肺炎在內的各種感染。 值此全國免疫宣傳月,請花幾分鐘時間查看您的疫苗接種記錄,並安排接種任何建議的疫苗。及時接種疫苗有助於保護您自己和身邊的人。

During National Health Center Week from August 2 to 8, Fidelis Care recognizes the community health centers that help New Yorkers access the care they need to live healthier lives. Across cities, suburbs, and rural areas, these organizations provide quality healthcare, connect people with important resources, and help improve the health of their communities. Community health centers do far more than provide medical care. They break down barriers to health by offering compassionate, affordable services close to home and ensuring patients receive the support they need. At Harmony Healthcare Long Island, that commitment begins with a simple but powerful belief. "We are

Learning to swim is one of the most important skills a child can learn. Drowning is among the leading causes of death for children ages 1-4, with most of these incidents occurring in the family’s own pool. Luckily, children can start swim lessons as early as 6-12 months old. We know finding budget-friendly options can be challenging, so we’ve compiled a list of some of the free and discounted swim lesson options around New York State. Check in with your local YMCA or parks department for additional help. Free/Discounted Swim Lesson Resources: City Swim Project, based in Buffalo, offers free swim lessons

  進食新鮮蔬果是維持健康的重要一環,能為身體提供維他命、礦物質及纖維等有益營養成分。 您或許曾從新聞報導中看到一種名為「圓孢子蟲病」的疾病。若不慎進食或飲用含有這種微小病菌的食物或水,便有機會染病。有時,新鮮蔬果亦可能受到污染。 儘管如此,新鮮蔬果依然是健康的選擇。只要透過清洗、削皮及烹煮,即可降低染病風險。 常見症狀有哪些? 最常見的症狀是水樣腹瀉。其他症狀可能包括: 食慾不振 胃痙攣 噁心 嘔吐 疲勞 體重下降 肌肉疼痛 症狀通常在進食或飲用受圓孢子蟲病菌污染的食物或水後,約一星期出現。 若您出現上述症狀,請即聯絡您的醫療服務提供者。如有需要,醫生可為您開具處方藥物。 保護您與家人的簡單步驟 處理新鮮蔬果前後,請用肥皂和清水洗淨雙手。 在食用、切開或烹調前,先用流動的清水徹底清洗新鮮蔬果。 使用乾淨的刷子刷洗質地較硬的蔬果,例如蜜瓜及青瓜。 盡可能將蔬果削皮,尤其是當您不清楚蔬果在購買前的處理過程時。 在配合食譜及口味的情況下,將蔬果徹底煮熟後食用。 切掉蔬果瘀黑、撞傷或損壞的部分。 蔬果經切開、削皮或烹調後,應存放在雪櫃內。 新鮮蔬果始終是健康之選 飛達利斯保健鼓勵會員及其家人每天選食健康食品。只要在廚房多花一點心思,就能確保新鮮蔬果食得安心又健康。 資料來源:紐約州衛生局,美國疾病控制與預防中心
