SUMMARY:LRH Living Well Series: Vaccinations and Immunizations at Every Age.
DESCRIPTION:(FERGUS FALLS\, Minn.)   Lake Region Healthcare's (LRH) Living Well Series for November will feature the topic "Vaccinations and Immunizations: What You Need to Know at Every Age" at 5:45pm on Monday\, November 13 in the Fergus Falls Clinic Main lobby. \n\n \n\nAmy Fisher\, Pediatric Nurse Practitioner\, along with Rebecca Michael\, mom of a preemie\, will address the importance of getting vaccines as an adult and as children.  Attendees will learn the facts behind some of the myths & rumors and hear firsthand from a mom of a vulnerable preemie about protecting yourself and others from serious illness. \n\n \n\n"When our second daughter was born 17 weeks early (she was 1 lb 6 oz and 11.5 inches long)\, we were thrown into the world of extreme prematurity\," said parent and session speaker\, Becca Michaels. "Despite her early arrival\, she received her vaccinations on schedule\, the same as a full-term baby. There was absolutely no way we were going to risk her getting a disease that we could prevent--we had enough to worry about with diseases and issues we couldn't prevent\," Michaels added. \n\n \n\n"Becca's story will set a great framework for this Living Well session. Over the past 30 years\, the decline in pediatric illnesses that respond to vaccines has dropped dramatically and this should be a serious concern for all parents and for our community\," Fisher said. "I hope this session will help us all better understand the risks and rewards to ourselves and to our community as it relates to vaccinations & immunizations\," she added. \n\n \n\nThe Living Well educational forums are held the second Monday of each month in the Lake Region Healthcare Clinic Services Lobby at 111 E Vernon Ave in Fergus Falls. Each month\, knowledgeable professionals present on such topics as trends in diet & exercise\, diabetes prevention\, reading labels at the grocery store and much more. \n\n \n\nAll sessions are free and open to the public\, but registration is requested to plan for refreshments. Please call 218.736.8699 or email livingwell@lrhc.org for information or to register. Individual session topics and details for future Living Well sessions are available on the "Calendar" link under the Health & Wellness tab at www.lrhc.org.
