H1N1 Survival Kit
With school
starting up again it’s important to be more ready to prevent the
swine flu. The Health Department estimates that 30 percent of
Minnesotans -- about 1.5 million people -- may become infected by
H1N1 as multiple waves of the pandemic move through the state over
the next year or two. Of those, the agency says anywhere from 3,600
to nearly 33,000 could end in fatality. Pregnant women and young
children should go to the front of the line when vaccine for the
novel influenza A (H1N1) virus becomes available in the fall,
according to the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices
(ACIP). Patient’s ages 5 to 24 years have the highest incidence of
infection, and children from birth to 4 years of age have the
highest rate of hospitalization. "Children under 6 months are not
able to be vaccinated directly," said Anne Schuchat, M.D., director
of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory
Diseases. "And because they can't be directly protected, the public
health strategy is to protect those around them to keep from
spreading the virus to them." The CDC said it does not anticipate a
shortage of H1N1 vaccine, but in the event that vaccine supply is
limited, ACIP members recommend that the following groups receive
the vaccine before others:
-
Pregnant women
-
People who live with or
care for children younger than 6 months of age
-
Health care and
emergency services personnel with direct patient contact to patients
-
Children 6 months to 4
years old
-
Children 5 to 18 who
have chronic medical conditions
Until the vaccine
comes out, and even after you receive it there are still effective
ways to prevent infection and limit its spread. Cover your mouth and
nose with a tissue when you are...

Disability Insurance
What is it you
ask? Individual disability insurance is truly a basic concept. It is
an insurance product designed to replace anywhere from 45-60% of
your gross income on a tax-free basis should a sickness or illness
prevent you from earning an income in your occupation. Every
disability insurance policy from every insurance company is very
different; this is not a product to simply shop for the most
competitive rate. To buy the cheapest disability insurance policy on
the market is to throw money away. The odds of getting paid a
monthly benefit under a cheap contract...
