Video:
Superbugs
Are
Closer
Than
You
Think
What
Can
You
Do
to
Help
Stop
Superbugs?
A
new
three-minute
animated
video
tells
the
story
of
how
antibiotic-resistant
“superbug”
bacteria
have
become
a
serious
public
health
threat
that
affects
everyone.
The
video
frames
the
problem
uniquely:
treating
antibiotics
as a
natural
resource
that
can
be
depleted
with
overuse,
just
like
water,
trees,
and
other
resources.
The
video
lays
out
specific
steps
that
everyone—including
doctors,
hospitals,
and
consumers—can
take
to
tackle
the
problem.
The video was produced by Extending the Cure, a grantee of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have released new provisional recommendations for the Tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (Tdap) vaccine for pregnant women. All pregnant women should receive a dose of Tdap vaccine during each pregnancy or immediately postpartum, regardless of the patient's prior history of receiving Tdap.
The Milam County Health Department is open until 6:00 pm on the first Monday of every month.
