CENTREVILLE - The COVID-19 pandemic has had a direct impact on all of our lives over the past year. Now, with the development of COVID vaccines, we have a brighter future to look forward to.

There have been many pre-cautionary methods used to slow the spread of this deadly virus, such as wearing a mask, practicing safe social distancing, and washing our hands often. However, these vaccines will be vital tools to help reduce the risk of becoming infected, as well as reducing fatalities if contracted.

The vaccine is our most important preventative step to protect ourselves, co-workers, friends, and loved ones from COVID-19, says Dr. Theodore Ross, Chief Medical Officer & Internal Medicine Physician at SIHF Healthcare.

As with any new vaccine, there are usually many questions and concerns to follow.

The vaccine is safe numerous studies on tens of thousands of people, and millions have already received it without adverse reactions states Dr. Ross.

What we know:

The More You Know: Fact or Fiction

While the timeline from the start of the pandemic to the approval of the vaccine has been faster than any other vaccine, the technology has been in development for many years. When mRNA vaccines were developed (the technology behind Pfizer and Modernas vaccines) the technology was touted as a quick and efficient method to produce vaccines at unprecedented speed, and this proved true for COVID-19. Pfizer and Moderna have been working in this space for many years, and it was because of their strong foundation in this technology that they were able to generate a vaccine in less than a year.

The COVID-19 vaccines, like all drugs that are approved for human use, undergo significant scrutiny from various independent evaluators to ensure efficacy and safety during the clinical trials, and then by the FDA for approval. After FDA approval, safety and efficacy continue to be monitored for adverse events. Some of the COVID-19 vaccines being tested in clinical trials were halted because of a serious illness in a few subjects, however, the illnesses were not associated with the vaccine.

While one vaccine is a significant achievement, it is critical that multiple vaccines, based on different technologies, are approved for use. There are several reasons for this. The number of doses necessary to immunize the whole U.S. and the entire world is not practical using one vaccine, given the different reagents necessary to produce the vaccines. Approval of multiple effective vaccines will reduce the burden on a single manufacturer to ensure that everyone across the world can have access to a vaccine in a timely manner.

Each of the clinical trials were conducted with more than 30,000 people from around the world, and all subjects are monitored for side effects. Half of the subjects in the clinical trial received placebo and half received the vaccine. In general, subjects reported soreness and swelling at the injection site, as well as fever, chills, tiredness and headache, which should go away after a few days. This is exactly what you want to happen because it means your immune system is active and doing its job.

It is unlikely that COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) will go away on its own. Just like the common cold - which is also a coronavirus - it continues to make us sick every year, but as we age and continue to be exposed, we generate an immune response that prevents us from getting sick. The vaccine helps to accelerate this process to protect us. However, we are only a year into this pandemic, and scientists will continue to monitor how many people are infected each year.

The mRNA vaccine is fantastic technology because it has no way to get into your DNA but can still induce a strong immune response. It does so by causing our cells to generate pieces of the virus for our immune systems to respond to. Once the mRNA is used by our cells, it is destroyed and has no long-term effects on our cells.

At SIHF Healthcare we care about your health and safety, so by becoming more proactive in protecting your health and the health of others we can make life-saving differences during this pandemic together. For more information about the COVID-19 vaccine and our services, please click here.

SIHF Healthcare Wants You to Get In The Know About COVID Vaccines - RiverBender.com

As entrepreneurs and large companies alike look to modernize how healthcare is distributed in the wake of COVID, one Atlanta-based startup is bringing back the old fashion house call.

Ascend Medical, a membership-based mobile clinic, primary care, and telemedicine startup, focuses on providing key preventative care measures and tests to metro area residents. CEO Jason Madsen told Hypepotamus that the company is the only virtual primary care company that makes in-home/in-office visits for point of care testing, diagnostics, vaccines, x-rays, ultrasounds, and EKGs.

This includes same-day Rapid Antigen Testing, PCR Testing, and Antibody Testing for COVID-19.

This is important as more state-wide testing sites flip to vaccination centers, many residents are struggling to find rapid testing sites for work or travel needs.

Not only does the startup believe that virtual and mobile primary care is more convenient for patients; it also removes the stress of finding appointments or spending hours in a traditional doctors waiting room.

Primary care is ripe for disruption and the pandemic has exposed the lag, said Dr. Kristina Bogar, the teams chief medical officer. People want to get quality care when they need it, without going to a doctors office or testing facility. They also dont want to wait weeks for an appointment or spend hours in a waiting room, or in their car. This is the new way of delivering medicine for primary care services and routine testing.

The idea of bringing diagnostic services to someones house adds another level of care to the growing telehealth boom.

Madsen said that Ascends popups and mobile fleet currently serves 1,500 patients a week between COVID testing and other primary care services. There are currently 45 doctors, nurses, and clinical support staff in the system, and the team plans to scale to over 200 providers over the course of 2021.

Members pay $199 yearly or $24.99 a month to access 24/7 on-call services and additional telehealth services. While this is on top of insurance, the virtual and mobile capabilities provide additional ease of service for individuals and families looking to keep up with routine healthcare needs.

Madsen told Hypepotamus that the startup has an affiliation with Piedmont Health.

The lab on wheels mobile clinics have rolled out in neighborhoods, community centers, and office parks for COVID testing and flu vaccinations. Companies or groups can also request a mobile testing event.

Ascend Medical says it will expand its services outside of Atlanta to Detroit and Houston by mid-2021.

ONE FEATHER EDITORIAL BOARD

There has been much said in America about the federal, state, and municipal rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine. The reviews from various communities have been mixed. Many feel that somewhere in the supply chain of the vaccine, the distribution of the much-needed vaccines has not been handled with the care and expediency that could have prevented more illness, suffering, and death.

As you look at the municipalities surrounding the Qualla Boundary, you see slow movement through the age-based phases of inoculation in local populations. Some municipalities are still not through their 65-plus age group with pre-existing conditions. And while all may continue to practice the protection practices that we have all but memorized, washing, waiting, and wearing, most of us understand that the vaccines are the pathway to returning to normal community health through herd immunity from COVID-19.

Our EBCI (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians) Public Health and Human Services Division (PHHS) and Cherokee Indian Hospital Authority (CIHA) have been two of the most responsive and engaged health organizations in Indian Country and America. Early in the pandemic, the government of the Tribe ordained these organizations to lead medical decisions and recommend municipal measures to contain and control the pandemic.

They have led by issuing preventative measures and feeding educational materials to the public. They established a Joint Information Council (JIC) that has steadily and consistently provided information to the public. This JIC is comprised of leaders from various departments charged with community services. In addition to CIHA and PHHS, JIC participants include school administrative officers, transportation officers, leaders from the Cherokee Boys Club, emergency services, the police department, the Communications Division, and the Chiefs office.

The CIHA and PHHS have been organizing and leading the way on all aspects of the COVID response since February 2020. Preplanning had taken place well in advance of the inoculation rollout. As the rollout progressed, tribal members reported a well-organized operation, with no long waits, cordial services, and excellent care. The vast majority of those vaccinated have reported mild to no ill effects from the vaccines. The efforts even extended to a day-long vaccination clinic at the Tribal Bingo Hall that netted approximately a thousand more beginning the process to immunity from COVID-19. And there are already signs that things are improving regarding the number of new infections and people needing isolation and quarantine. While health officials at a national level continue to warn that we are not out of the woods quite yet, the efforts of our Tribal health organizations have certainly brought us closer to a return to normalcy.

This is not the time to listen to or participate in gossip and unfounded speculation. All the data and science is pointing us in the direction of widespread vaccination. Our health care professionals were some of the first people to voluntarily take the vaccine. And some of our most treasured tribal members, our elders, were advised by their caretakers and families to take the vaccine. It is illogical to think that our community leaders would recommend a medicine that would be harmful to the community. All are entitled to opinion, but it is dangerous to the community to distort or misrepresent facts.

The Cherokee One Feather applauds the efforts of our medical, public health, and tribal leadership in the measures taken to protect the mental and physical health of our Tribe. We thank all the essential workers throughout the Tribe, including all those in Fire and Emergency Management, Cherokee Police Department, Sanitation, food service institutions, and the many others who provide services to the community. We concur with those entities in the believe that vaccinations are safe and necessary to the health of our Tribe. We join them in urging all who are eligible to schedule an appointment to get vaccinated and when called to keep their appointment. The vaccine is the best hope for protecting ourselves and our community from continued pain and suffering.

The rest is here:
EDITORIAL: COVID response from EBCI should be praised - The Cherokee One Feather - Cherokee One Feather

There have been some questionable medical practices in the history of the United States. One popular practice, though, involved the letting of blood to leave the body, through practices like using live leeches and piercing and draining blood.

Bloodletting was around long before Highland County physicians used it in their practices. Ancient Greek and Roman doctors used bloodletting as a preventative measure and a treatment for common illnesses such as pneumonia and smallpox, but it was also used in an attempt to decrease inflammation before surgeries and even treat cancer. When a patient showed symptoms of an illness, physicians might suggest that excessive blood be removed to balance the body. This didnt do much and often even worsened the patients condition.

An interesting chapter of bloodletting includes the infamous parasitic water-dwellers leeches. Leeches used in bloodletting were allowed to feed on the skin of the host because the bloodletting would be simpler and cleaner than puncturing the skin in traditional practices. Interestingly enough, leech therapy is actually used today and may help certain chronic conditions. Leeching was much more uncommon than regular bloodletting, but it still manages to pop up in period newspapers as a recommended treatment.

Ironically enough, Highland County papers criticized ancient doctors on their medical practices, stating, We sorrow over the stupidity of the Dark Ages, when leeches and the barber were one, according to an 1884 article titled The Domestic Doctor. In the past, barbers would both perform medical procedures and grooming services. The classic barbers pole outside many shops today is said to represent the grisly history of barbers the cap at the top represents where the leeches were held on the original pole, the basin at the bottom held collected blood, and the colors explained what services the barbers were prepared for that day.

Red stood for bloodletting and leeching; white was for setting bones, pulling teeth, or bandaging an injury; and blue indicated just a shave.

In Highland County, bloodletting was seen as a last resort in medical treatments toward the end of the 1800s and beginning of the 1900s. The News-Herald in Hillsboro recognized bloodletting in a 1909 article as a medical practice of the ancient world that was still in use at the time (and considered to be effective). There were many side effects to bloodletting, such as the obvious nutrient deficiencies and possibility of infection from open sores, so it was seen as an option to be saved only if the medicine prescribed didnt work.

Bloodletting is no longer practiced for good reason. Advancements in science and technology reduce the need for drastic procedures to treat common ailments, and we can look back at this pseudoscience and appreciate advances in modern medicine.

COVID-19 Impact on Medical Wellness Market Identify Which Types of Companies Could Potentially Benefit or Loose out From the Impact of COVID-19 -...

While Richard Queen has spent most of his life working in healthcare operations, he began his career as a general accountant working in manufacturing. Since 2008 he's worked in the healthcare sector in a variety of roles, starting as a Budget Analyst for King's Daughters Medical Center in Kentucky. He held several positions here, eventually becoming the Director of Finance and Business Intelligence, where he was in charge of finding and implementing new business opportunities, including provider practice acquisitions.

This led to his next move: becoming the Chief Financial Officer for Huntington Internal Medicine Group (HIMG), a large multi-specialty independent medical group based in Huntington, West Virginia. Queen says it was this job that set him onto his current career path, designing the prototype of the software he's now implemented at Memorial Health. "We started entering risk-based contracts with our payers," he says. "We stood up a Medicare ACO from scratch, became fully capitated with one of our payers, and entered into many value-based contracts. I wrote a system to help us be successful in those contracts."

As a result, HIMGs primary care revenue grew by 10 per cent year on year, and their preventative care increased from 15 to 80 percent. "By closing those care gaps we got the largest gain sharing checks from our payers that we had received, all while offering first class patient care," he says.

Queen then completely redesigned the software for it to be enterprise scalable; it is now a commercially available product with DignifiHealth, called DignifiEngage, and forms the intelligence backbone of an ecosystem of virtual healthcare technologies.

After spending a couple of years as the VP of Data Science at Medical Practice Management Solutions in Huntington, he joined Memorial Health System in April 2020. "They were interested in what my software could do," he explains. "They had tried population health initiatives before and didn't find the success they wanted. So I came to Memorial to stand up a custom version of the software I'd created, and then drive initiatives across the organization from a population health and quality-based standpoint."

As a leader, he doesn't micromanage, preferring instead to look for self-starters and prepare them for leadership roles. "I like to think at the high-level, setting the vision, but then I like to get my hands dirty, working alongside anybody else, punching out the code that takes us where we need to go."

The state Department of Health announcement Tuesday that all Pennsylvania residents 65 years and older are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine is good news in this ongoing battle against a pandemic that has claimed more than 400,000 lives in the U.S. in the past 10 months.

But expanding the eligibility doesnt get the preventative medicine in peoples arms. As long as a majority remain unvaccinated, the virus will continue spreading -- at an even faster rate with mutations that are taking hold.

The lags in getting vaccinated are for the most part due to supply and demand. In a state like Pennsylvania where 2.27 million people are over 65, there are just not enough doses. So far Pennsylvania has received only about 900,000 doses, according to the state Department of Health.

While that news is frustrating, there is encouragement that supplies will be replenished as manufacturing ramps up as additions from drugmakers AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson are expected to get FDA review and enter the pipeline in coming weeks.

And it is inevitable that states and counties will get better at the distribution and availability of vaccine, as well as boosting the signup capability. Right now, systems are crashing and people are waiting hours just to get access to websites to register for appointments.

However, what is even more troubling as thousands wait for the chance to be vaccinated is the reluctance among those who can get the vaccine and the skepticism being spun by naysayers.

In Berks County, Phil Salamone, public information officer of the Berks County EMS COVID-19 Joint Task Force and director of operations for Lower Alsace Ambulance, estimated there are 300 to 400 total workers in the ambulance crews in Berks and about a third of them "simply aren't interested in obtaining the vaccine."

Some of the reasons for refusing the vaccine might be that younger people don't believe getting COVID will do them much harm, while other people have heard of side effects that are simply rumors and have no basis in science; those who had COVID believe they are immune anyway, and some people simply bristle at what they consider to be a herd mentality.

"The message needs to be that if we're going to get through this pandemic we need to vaccinate as many people as possible. We wouldn't recommend something if the benefit didn't outweigh the risk," Dr. Robert J. Tomsho told The Reading Eagle. Tomsho is medical director of the emergency medicine institute, Lehigh Valley Health Network, and oversees training for ambulance crews.

The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are essentially 100 percent effective against serious disease, Dr. Paul Offit, the director of the Vaccine Education Center at Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia, told David Leonhardt for The New York Times "The Morning" newsletter. Its ridiculously encouraging.

These vaccines are among the best vaccines ever created, with effectiveness rates of about 95 percent after two doses, Leonhardt wrote. If there is an example of a vaccine in widespread clinical use that has this selective effect prevents disease but not infection I cant think of one! Dr. Paul Sax of Harvard has written in The New England Journal of Medicine, dismissing speculation that getting a vaccine won't stop the spread.

"The risks for vaccinated people are still not zero, because almost nothing in the real world is zero risk. A tiny percentage of people may have allergic reactions. But the evidence so far suggests that the vaccines are akin to a cure," Leonhardt wrote.

Concerns are reported to be even more widespread among low-income and people of color, even though those populations have suffered the most cases and deaths. Officials in Montgomery County addressed those concerns head-on Thursday night in a town hall with Black church leaders encouraging their communitiues to participate and air their concerns.

The lack of supply, lack of an orderly and well-communicated system of distribution, and misinformation about vaccine safety have all contributed to diminishing the initial excitement that followed the approval of vaccines. The value, however, is as important as ever.

A few decades ago, the nation underwent a rollout of another vaccine that successfully eradicated polio, and then more vaccines for measles, mumps and rubella all of them having dramatic effect on public health and saving thousands of lives. This rollout needs to proceed with the hopeful enthusiasm that accompanied those vaccines. Efficiency and communication should be easier, not harder, in this age of technology and internet sophistication.

This vaccine remains our best chance to tame the pandemic and restore normalcy. This is our best shot; we need to take it.

We can all agree that a trip to the doctors office is no fun but doctors said putting off primary care is not an option.

HOUSTON The COVID-19 pandemic has pushed health priorities for many people to the forefront of their lives while other things have been placed on the back burner.

However, healthcare experts warn preventative checkups shouldnt be one of them.

We can all agree that a trip to the doctors office is no fun but doctors said putting off primary care is not an option.

We clearly saw during the peak of the pandemic in the summertime, we had people delaying care and having worse outcomes than they should have had because they put off the emergent evaluation of symptoms, Dr. James McDeavitt, dean of clinical affairs at Baylor College of Medicine said.

McDeavitt said ignoring health screenings can put you at risk.

When we look at the death rate for this past year unfortunately I think were going to see a death rate that exceeds COVID-19. Were going to see a higher rate of heart disease deaths and cancer deaths, and deaths from pulmonary disease, deaths from stroke because of care thats already been delayed, McDeavitt said.

In addition, UTHealth associate professor and pediatrician, Dr. Sandy McKay, said its not just adults. McKay said when it comes to children theres been a significant drop in vaccinations across the country.

Seeing as much as a 40% decline since COVID which is huge because these are vaccine-preventable illnesses that now children could be potentially be exposed to, McKay said.

She said regular checkups and care will help kids stay healthy during the pandemic.

We do not need to add something like measles or pertussis outbreak in a school which is going to add that much more layer of complexity to dealing with the pandemic, McKay said.

While most physicians have appointment availability both health experts encourage folks to take advantage of telemedicine if theyre concerned about visiting a doctors office. Their main goal is for you to stay on top of your health.

We're all looking for the magic bullet to cure or prevent a cold or the flu. Herbs and medicine like echinacea and elderberries are often hyped as ways to keep from getting sick, especially in the winter. But do they work? While they certainly don't replace a flu shot, studies have shown that they can be beneficial at protecting against the common flu and cold. While elderberries have been used in traditional medicine for years, modern science gives us some clues as to why.

"They are rich in flavonoids quercetin and anthocyanidins, which are rich in antioxidants that protect your cells from damaging free radicals," explains Serena Poon, CN, CHC, CHN, chef, nutritionist, Reiki master, and founder of the Culinary Alchemy program. "Quercetin have properties that can protect against viruses, inflammation, and carcinogens. Anthocyanidins, a kind of plant pigment, are known for their anti-inflammatory benefits."

Poon also notes that studies have linked elderberries specifically to reducing the upper respiratory symptoms from cold and flu as well as reducing cold duration and severity. Poon recommends elderberries as preventative medicine, citing them as a low-risk way to protect yourself. It is important to note, however, that no studies have been done on elderberries and COVID-19, and elderberries do not replace CDC-endorsed measures like wearing a mask or social distancing.

While there are lots of good reasons to consider adding elderberry to your diet, you are going to be hard-pressed to find them for sale in the produce section. Raw elderberries are toxic, so that's actually a good thing. Instead, you'll find elderberries in different supplements and syrup. Poon recommends syrups as an easy way to get elderberry benefits but cautions that not all syrups and pills are created equal.

"It is really important to do your research on any supplement, including elderberry syrups or capsules," she says. When shopping either online or at your local health store, Poon has some tips for what to look out for: products that are certified organic, with transparent outsourcing practices, and that have third-party testing or certifications. She also recommends looking for supplements free from animal products, gluten, soy, and dairy.

While that may sound like a lot to look out for, Poon notes that it's fairly easy to find high-quality elderberry syrups online. But if you want something now, there are also other immune-boosting foods you can find at your local grocery store. Poon recommends zinc and vitamin C during cold and flu season, which should be in any drugstore vitamin aisle. Taken alone or with elderberry supplements, these vitamins and minerals can provide a much-needed wellness boost during a time of the year when we're all worried about catching colds and the flu.
