Treatment.

Screenings and

prevention.

Discussion on fall 2023 vaccine options including a new RSV vaccine.

I always look to Katelyn Jatelina, “Your Local Epidemiologist,” to distill down new public health information.

She has two recent posts on vaccines and covid variants. :

The current CDC information statement on the RSV vaccine is accessible online:

Also CDC LINKS

As we begin to see influenza options for treatment always become hot topics in clinic.

We will discuss the American Family Physician article “Influenza: Diagnosis and Treatment” available at:

https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2019/1215/p751.html

Up-To-Date also contains some basic information regarding Tamiflu (Oseltamivir)

With any remaining time we will cover other topics on health promotion and prevention.

The AAFP Family Medicine Board Review 15^th Edition Lecture 8 “Health Promotion and Prevention” is a great lecture to review this week.
