August was National Immunization month, and we want to make sure you know the importance of vaccinations. Each year thousands of adults in the United States suffer illness, are hospitalized, and even die from diseases that could be prevented by vaccines. People with COPD and asthma are at higher risk for complications from certain diseases. Take steps to ensure that you stay up-to-date with recommended vaccines. Make sure you get the influenza vaccine every year to protect them from this common illness. Individuals with COPD and asthma are also at higher risk for invasive pneumococcal disease and more likely to develop infections including bacteremia and meningitis. Pneumococcal vaccines can help prevent these serious infections in your patients. Chronic conditions, even if well managed, can make it harder for patients to fight infections. That is why it is critical that you get these and other routinely recommended vaccines, like shingles vaccines if you are 60 years or older, Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis) if you have not had a dose before, and Td booster vaccine every 10 years. Other vaccines may also be needed based on vaccination history and other risk factors. For the latest recommended adult immunization schedule, visit the CDC website at cdc.gov
Here is a simple recipe for the upcoming fall months from Cornell Cooperative Extension.
4 zucchini, cut crosswise into quarters and then cut lengthwise into sticks
½ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated tastes best
¼ tsp each dried thyme and dried oregano
½ tsp dried basil
¼ tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp fresh parsley leaves, chopped
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a cooling rack with non-stick spray and place on a baking sheet. Set aside. In a small bowl, combine cheese and seasonings. Stir. Brush zucchini with oil and sprinkle with Parmesan mixture. Bake until tender about 15 minutes. Then broil 2-3 minutes until crisp and brown.
