Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

This was a book I found highly entertaining, easy to follow, never boring, yet not nearly as profound nor as captivating (read that: thought-provoking) as The Count of Monte-Cristo, and hence, not a book I would purchase to keep at home. dumas_by_nadar2c_1855
I listened to the book via LibreVox, and the reader was good, except for the fact that, I really hate to say it, I literally had to grit my teeth through the mercifully few sections where she sang (sorry, some folks just do not have good singing voices, and this reader was one of them). But apart from that, the listening experience was ok, saving me the time of reading since I can listen as I clean, cook, eat, and clean.
(yes, in that order, due to slovenly roommates…)

Are Many New Yorkers Infected with Poliovirus? — Precision Vaccinations

The New York Department of Health issued a HEALTH ADVISORY: Update on August 19, 2022, stating: All children, adolescents, and adults who are unvaccinated or under-vaccinated should be brought up to date with all routine CDC-recommended IPV doses.

This is particularly important and urgent if they live, work, attend school, or have frequent social interactions with Rockland and Orange Counties communities.

The U.S. CDC’s website says, ‘for best protection, children should get multiple doses of a polio vaccine, and previously vaccinated people can get a one-time polio vaccine booster, under certain conditions.’

There are two types of vaccines that can prevent polio, the Inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) and the Oral poliovirus vaccine, which is offered abroad.

The IPV protects against both wild-type polio and this weakened poliovirus strain.

The good news is that IPV is readily available in the USA.

In addition to public health clinics, local pharmacies and pediatricians offer polio vaccination services.

‘Until poliovirus eradication is achieved worldwide, importations of both wild polioviruses and VDPVs into the United States are possible,’ says the CDC.
