TCRHCC is encouraging all residents in the Tuba City Service Unit to check their immunization records and make sure they have all their recommended vaccines. TCRHCC’s very own Dr. Diana Hu has provided some information about immunization and the importance of having all the recommended vaccines to stay healthy. August is National IMMUNIZATION AWARENESS Month Measles, polio, diphtheria, smallpox– these are just a few of the diseases that used to be common before the development of immunizations- and children and adults could die or be permanently disabled because of these diseases. But now, in 2015, children, teens, pregnant women, adults and the elderly no longer have to fear some of these infections because of the immunizations that every person can get throughout their life to stay healthy. Immunizations – and the prevention of millions of cases of illness, disability, and death through widespread use of immunizations- is one of the greatest health success stories of the 20th century. The concept of vaccines is to use a bit of a germ- a virus or bacteria, usually- or a weakened form of a germ or a closely related germ- to stimulate the immune system so the real infection cannot make a person sick. This is why giving immunizations to children and adults BEFORE they get an illness is so important. And not only do we protect ourselves when we get immunizations (or vaccinations) but we also protect our families and communities from these contagious diseases. More protected people means fewer people to spread the illness to those who are not protected. This is called “herd immunity”- the “herd” of immunized people protect the members of the community who cannot or don’t want to be immunized. Here are 7 points about immunizations to remember: 1. Immunizations save lives. Hundreds of thousands of children and adults used to get sick every year from diseases that are now rare because of immunizations 2. Immunizations protect you throughout your life. Different germs can infect people at different times in their life. Immunizations are timed to be most effective when the person is most at risk from the infection. This is why babies have to get more immunizations than adults. 3. Immunizations can protect pregnant moms and babiesPage 4 Some illnesses can be worse during pregnancy – like influenza. Some illnesses are most dangerous for newborns- who do not respond to immunizations as well as older children. Specific immunizations during pregnancy are safe and protect mom and newborn from illness. And having all family members immunized protects baby after birth too. 4. Vaccines do not cause AUTISM. This has been reviewed many times by many experts. 5. Immunizations are specific for very specific germs and diseases- and are not used unless they can demonstrate they give an excellent chance of preventing disease. Continue on page 5. Tuba City Regional Health Care Corporation Healthy Directions Newsletter August is National IMMUNIZATION AWARENESS Month, Continued from page 4. But they cannot protect against EVERYTHING- that is why you can still get a cold or a strep throat or diarrhea – we don’t have immunizations against some of those illnesses. 6. Native American people should get immunized because they historically have a higher risk of catching some illnesses. Native American children used to have the highest rates of Hemophilus Influenzae and Pneumococcal infection- germs that cause pneumonia, blood and joint infections, and meningitis- in the USA. Immunizations have almost eliminated most of these infections. Native American and First Nations persons have higher rates of hospitalization when they get influenza- so flu shots are a priority as well. 7. Why do some people refuse to get immunized? Hard to saymost people are concerned that vaccines are an example of government interfering in their lives, or they are not “natural”. Some parents want their children to get “natural TCRHCC Community Health Center- Mobile Health Program Mobile Medical Unit immunity”- unfortunately for some of those children the first infection could be a fatal one or could land them in the hospital. Because MOST people in the US are immunized, the risk of one person getting sick from a contagious disease has dropped a lot- but if lots of people are not immunized, diseases like measles and polio can come back (that’s what happened in Great Britain in the 1990s- measles came back!) Some people don’t have money to get shots or have no health insurancebut this is not a problem here in Tuba City. Navajo Nation has one of the highest childhood, teen and adult immunization rates in the USAbut we can still do better. BE WISE…..IMMUNIZE!

Families and caregivers can reduce those fears by preparing kids in the days leading up to the first day of school. Navajo Nation First Things First offers some tips to help your family have a fun, easy transition to kindergarten: 1. Be aware of your own feelings. Children can sense anxiety and mirror it. 2. Talk with your child about what to expect during the school day. The more details kids know, the less anxious they will feel. 3. Read books together about starting kindergarten. Librarians may offer suggestions. 4. Rehearse for the big day with test-runs of the new routine: a. Wake up with plenty of time to get ready. b. Fix a healthy breakfast together. c. Lay out clothes the night before. d. If your child takes a school bus, walk to the bus stop and talk about boarding and where to sit. If you will drive to school, talk about landmarks along the way. e. Pack a nutritious, tasty lunch and practice opening things together. Remind them that teachers or lunch staff can help if needed. 5. Reassure your child about what will happen after the day is over, including the types of after-school activities they may be involved in. 6. Give your child a family picture to keep in their pocket or backpack, and reassure them about what time you will see them again. 7. Spend extra time on the first day of school, but do not “drag out” saying goodbye. Send them off with a reassuring hug and kiss! 8. Kindergartners sometimes have accidents. Pack an extra pair of clothes and bring it on the first day. 9. Send a message that education is important by getting involved in your child’s school activities. Speak regularly with your child’s teacher, and if possible, participate in your school’s PTO/PTA. 10. Most importantly, celebrate and enjoy this milestone with your child. By preparing our kids for the first day of school, we can set them on the path to success in kindergarten and beyond! Tips for a Safe Ride Surrounding school on the Western Navajo Nation have started in August and it is a good time to review some tips to ensure everyone has a safe school year. One way to ensure this is a safe school year is to go over a few, simple rules about bus riding. Getting on the Bus: • When waiting for the bus, stay away from traffic and avoid roughhousing or other behavior that can lead to carelessness • Do not step onto the road • Line up away from the road as the bus approaches • Wait until the bus has stopped and the door opens before approaching the bus • Use the handrail when boarding Behavior on the Bus: • Don’t speak loudly or make loud noises that could distract the driver • Stay in your seat • Don’t put your head, arms or hands out the window • Keep aisles clear of books and bags • Wait for the bus to stop completely before getting up from your seat Page 7 Tuba City Regional Health Care Corporation TCRHCC Eye Clinic Offers Same-Day Appointments The Tuba City Regional Health Care Corporation (TCRHCC) Eye Clinic offers Same-Day Appointments for routine eye exams, including eyeglass prescriptions, Monday through Friday, on a first come first served basis.
