TAMPA, Fla. 鈥?Once again, theres a debate o water bottle stanley ver vacci stanley botella nes brewing among health exper stanley cups ts. Its not about COVID this time. Its the vaccine for meningitis.The battle isnt over if children should get the vaccine- but when. Meningococcal disease is a bacterial infection that is, while rare, potentially fatal,  said Dr. Wendy Wright.As it stands right now, the CDC recommends children ages 11 to 12 receive their first meningitis vaccine and then receive their second dose at the age of 16.  The good news is about 89% of kids actually take that vaccine because theyre also coming in for mandated vaccines, i.e. a tetanus shot or a Tdap. We then give the second shot at 16 years of age. We call this the booster shot. Only 61% of adolescents in the United States get that second shot,  said Dr. Wright.The bacterial infection can be contracted through respiratory droplets from sneezing and coughing, but also through kissing and sharing bottles.  The statistics are that about 10% to 15% of people who contract this bacteria will die from it and those that survive, 1 in 5, or 20% will be left with severe disabilities, including amputations,  said Dr. Wright.Thats exactly what happened to Jonathan DeGuzman in 2005. He had flu-like symptoms while he was a student at Southwestern College.  So, I went back home and rested in my room and just took a nap.

At the beginning of the pandemic, disinfecting wipes were a coveted item and difficult to find.Now, they re finally making their way back to store shelves. But how much do we really need to be disinfecting surfaces Microbiologists say the coronavirus doesn t usually survive on surfaces. You actually go into hospitals where they re treating COVID-19 patients and you check the surfaces, and there s no infectious virus, none,  said Dr. Emanuel Goldman, a microbiology professor at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School.Whenever the coronavirus is found on a sur stanley flask face, it s usually the RNA. Think of it as the corpse or skeleton of the virus. It usually means the virus is no longer there and it s unlikely that you will become infected by touching that surface.Goldman says because of that, it s not really necessary to constantly disinfect surfaces. Instead, we should focus on other preventative measures, like hygiene. Really all you need to do is wash your hands because even if you happen to touch something, it s not going to go through the skin of your fingers. You wash your hands and you re done with it,  said Goldman.Goldman reminds people to remember the three Ws 鈥?stanley kaffeebecher  wear a mask, watch your distance,  stanley mug and wash your hands.
