Welcome to the October issue of Health Monthly!
Our leaves may not be changing yet in Southern Nevada, but it surely does feel like Autumn is in the air. Our mornings have become cooler, we have had rain, and the days of 100 degrees+ are behind us.
Your providers at RMG hope that your October is off to a good and healthy start. Children have finished their first quarter at school, university students are approaching their Fall Break, and football is gracing our fields and televisions. These are wonderful symbols of a healthy community, but COVID-19 continues to claim lives and stress our healthcare infrastructure.
We continue to encourage all our patients to get vaccinated and for those eligible, to receive their COVID-19 booster. Currently there are boosters for only those who have received a Pfizer vaccine previously. Eligibility can be found here: https://covid.southernnevadahealthdistrict.org/vaccine/about-booster-doses/. We also encourage all patients to get their flu shots, which are widely available at this time.
