Guest guest Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 This is terrible! How Nazi-like! Carole Flo [fgarig] Wednesday, April 13, 2005 5:44 PM herbal remedies Herbal Remedies - Louisiana sends reminders of shots State sends reminders of shots By MARSHA SHULER mshuler Capitol news bureau Some 15,075 Louisiana households with children under age 2 are getting postcard reminders that their children may not be up-to-date on their shots. The postcards are a part of the state health agency's " Shots for Tots " program aimed at Louisiana's poor childhood immunization rates. Some 83 percent of U.S. children under age 2 have all their required shots to guard against childhood diseases such as mumps and measles. Louisiana's rate last year was 75.5 percent. For the first quarter of 2005, Louisiana's rate stood at 72.6 percent, fourth lowest in the nation. During the week of April 24, parish health units and participating partner clinics throughout the state will offer extended hours to make the immunization process more convenient for parents. Advertisement The state is sending postcards to the households whose children have not shown up in records as having received their immunizations. The reminder postcards are generated through the LINKS system, which helps the state Department of Health and Hospitals identify children who may be due for one or more immunizations. LINKS stands for Louisiana Immunization Network for Kids Statewide. It is an automated system used to track all childhood immunizations. The system can prompt health officials when an individual is due for a vaccination. It allows the state to target families whose children are not up-to-date on their shots and issue automated reminders. LINKS is in use in about half of all doctors' offices and all parish health units that provide immunizations. Parents bringing their children to a parish health unit for immunizations are encouraged to bring the reminder postcard with them. It will be scanned, and the child's immunization record will be pulled up in LINKS. This helps to expedite the immunization process. More details on participating health units and partners clinics will be made available the week before the event. Flo Federal Law requires that we warn you of the following: 1. Natural methods can sometimes backfire. 2. If you are pregnant, consult your physician before using any natural remedy. 3. The Constitution guarantees you the right to be your own physician and to prescribe for your own health. We are not medical doctors although MDs are welcome to post here as long as they behave themselves. Any opinions put forth by the list members are exactly that, and any person following the advice of anyone posting here does so at their own risk. It is up to you to educate yourself. By accepting advice or products from list members, you are agreeing to be fully responsible for your own health, and hold the List Owner and members free of any liability.
