Therefore, the vaccine will be distributed to the public in phases. You may be wondering where you or those you love lie on this index. Although this stratification is subject to change, here is what we know so far.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="; style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="400" src="; width="400" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p>There will be 4 major phases for vaccine distribution:</p><p><b>1a.</b> High risk health care workers (hospitals, long-term care facilities, etc.) and first responders (police, fire, EMT)</p><p><b>1b.</b> People with 2 or more co-morbid conditions (eg: asthma, heart disease, immune deficiency), and older adults in congregate/overcrowded settings</p><p><b>2. </b>Teachers & school staff, critical workers in high-risk settings, people with moderate co-morbid conditions, residents/staff of homeless shelters or group homes, incarcerated/detained people and associated staff, and all older adults</p><p><b>3.</b> Young adults, children, and workers in industries important to the functioning of society</p><p><b>4.</b> All other people in the United States who wish to be vaccinated</p><p><i>Within each of these phases, attempts will be made to prioritize vaccine administration to geographic areas identified through the Center for Disease Control's Social Vulnerability Index or another more specific index, should one be available at the time.</i></p><p>Remember, the goal of this phased approach is to prioritize vaccine administration not only to those who are at highest risk of having a bad outcome from infection, but also to protect those critical workers who need to be healthy enough to take care of the remaining public. This means it is unlikely that all members of your household will be able to be vaccinated simultaneously. Additionally, although the vaccine appears to be effective in preventing severe infection, it may still be possible to contract the virus and spread it to unvaccinated individuals even if you have been immunized. Therefore, vaccination will not be a free pass to go back to "normal", at least not right away.</p><p><b>We are approaching the home stretch, so please don't let pandemic fatigue get the best of you now.

As anyone who is living with food allergies understands, the psychological impacts of living with a potentially life-threatening condition are incredibly important, but sadly, often given short shrift in the context of limited time available during healthcare maintenance visits.<br /> <br /> Participating in this study is an opportunity to contribute to our knowledge base about the strategies families utilize to cope with the diagnosis.

Led by Ruchi Gupta, MD, MPH, the goal of this research study is to both identify the coping those living with food allergy or caring for someone with food allergy currently use that work best for them, and to gauge any interest in new interventions to improve psychosocial outcomes. With this information, we hope to inform future clinical care so that patients living with food allergy are provided with methods of coping that meet their psycho-social concerns living with food allergy. If you are living with a food allergy, or are a caregiver of someone who has a food allergy, we would greatly appreciate your participation! Please note, you must be 18 years or older to participate in this survey. To participate, we are asking you to complete a short and anonymous survey through the online service, REDCap. Being in this study is optional and voluntary. If you are interested in participating, click the appropriate survey link provided below and read through the consent form before proceeding. It should take you no more than 15 minutes to complete the survey.

No nuance, no thoughtfulness, no concern for the impact of such a black & white approach to a decidedly grey issue. And why would there be? Nuance doesn't get you clicks or ad revenue. A sexy headline does. When it comes to alarmist interpretations of science by the media, it is the role of those of us who truly understand these patients and these treatments to bring some rationality back to the discussion.</i></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px;"> <i><br /></i></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px;"> <i>Don't rely on media articles to help you sort through these complicated issues - you will end up with over-simplified click-bait. Better to find a quiet corner and read the source article itself, and take it to a physician you trust to help you make sense of it all.</i></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px;"> ____________________________________________________________________</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px;"> <br /></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px;"> Receiving (very reasonable!) questions about the OIT Anaphylaxis meta-analysis published in the Lancet journal.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;"> Quick response: Respected journal, rigorous analysis, tells us what we already knew to be true: the more you ingest a known food allergen, the more likely you are to experience a food allergy reaction.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;"> I do not dispute the findings that a patient consuming their food allergen daily or twice daily during an oral immunotherapy protocol is more likely to experience anaphylaxis than someone successfully observing strict avoidance. I do think it would be important to compare data on episodes of anaphylaxis as a function of number of ingestions, and also to analyze data on rates of anaphylaxis resulting from accidental allergen ingestion in both groups (non-OIT vs. OIT). This is liable to yield a different perspective.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;"> It is also notable that anaphylaxis from accidental exposure in an uncontrolled environment and anaphylaxis from a known and quantified ingestion in a controlled and monitored setting are quite different scenarios.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;"> Nevertheless, as allergists committed to evidence-based medicine and with the best interests of our patients at heart, we must acknowledge that we can ALWAYS do better. Although most patients pursing food allergen desensitization have excellent results and improved quality of life, there is absolutely a subset of patients who truly struggle with dosing due to reactions and anxiety. As a specialty, we need to dive deeper into working to identify those patients most likely to experience a negative course before beginning oral desensitization therapy, so we can A) address pre-existing risk factors prior to the initiation or therapy, or B) direct the patient to defer OIT in favor of continued avoidance or an alternative therapy (EPIT, SLIT, etc.).</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;"> I also believe an important point to recognize is that avoidance of a reaction is not the only goal of a food allergen desensitization program. For many patients, the benefit gained is reduced dietary restrictions, expanded opportunities for activities, and an increased sense of control.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;"> We are committed to supporting our patients with a transparent discussion of ALL options for the management of life-threatening food allergies, including the option to continue avoidance, and to continually refine our approach to management to optimize safety and quality of life.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-top: 6px;"> For those patient currently pursuing OIT, this study likely won't change anything for you - your past experience is more reflective of your future experience than a study. For those patients on the fence - good for you for reading and educating yourselves on this important decision. We are here to support you with information and non-judgemental guidance, every step of the way.</div> </div> 2019/04/when-food-allergy-treatments-are.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Sakina Bajowala, MD)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-569897044603346297.post-2914584585377492570Thu, 20 Aug 2015 04:35:00 +00002015-08-19T23:35:33.960-05:00AllergiesFood allergyschool guidelinesFostering a Culture of Inclusion in Schools<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> It's that time again... Back to School!<br /> <br /> I, for one, relish the newly found silence in my home in the afternoon. I am also happy in the confidence that my boys are learning and playing and enjoying school again. I like knowing that the sweltering days of summer will soon transition into pleasant autumn evenings.<br /> <br /> However, I know that back to school season brings on very different emotions for parents of children with life-threatening food allergies. These feelings range from fear and anxiety at being separated from a child with medical needs, to frustration with the necessary mounds of paperwork that constitute school health forms, and apprehension about what some might term "the little things": Will my child have someone to sit with at lunch? What if someone at the middle school starts a food fight, and throws a PB& J? How will my 5 year old handle it, when at the end of a long day of kindergarten, a classmate shares cupcakes with everyone as a birthday treat (everyone except him)? What will I do if the PTA organizer insists on using an ice cream brand for the open house social that is known to have cross-contamination issues?<br /> <br /> In my work as a pediatric allergist, I have come across of a wide variety of ways that children with life-threatening food allergies are excluded in the name of safety. Here are a few examples:<br /> <br /> 1) A class was rewarded for good behavior by being permitted to eat lunch in the classroom instead of in the lunchroom. When the teacher discovered that a number of children had peanut or tree nuts in their lunches, my patient's desk was pushed into the corner of the room to keep him separated from the allergens. Classmates were rewarded. He was punished.<br /> <br /> 2) A teacher mentioned to a mom that it might be a good idea if a tree nut-allergic student remain home on the day of the field trip, as there would be walnut trees in the park they were planning to visit, and the teacher couldn't guarantee that a chaperone would be able to monitor the student closely enough for the teacher's comfort.<br /> <br /> 3) A student with a food allergy was identified by name in a letter that went home to parents stating that only fruits and vegetables could be sent as snacks or treats into the classroom. This resulted in a classmate stating to my patient, "My mom says it's your fault that we can't have any good food for the holiday party, and you should just be home-schooled."<br /> <br /> The common thread in these scenarios is that each child was isolated or excluded. Now, don't get all up in a knot saying, "They are going to have to learn how to go without eventually!"<br /> <br /> Parents of kids with food allergies understand that their kids will one day have to learn that part of the reality of living with allergy is that you can't always have what other people are having. We start teaching that as soon as they are old enough to understand the concept. As children grow older, this is continually reinforced by families and health care professionals. We teach kids to advocate for themselves.<br /> <br /> Young children, however, deserve to learn in an environment that is not only safe, but also as inclusive as possible. Sitting alone at lunch, being the only kid who gets a bag of crackers instead of a cupcake, having to miss out on special activities, leaving the soccer game before the snack, being identified as the reason for other children's "deprivation" - these things add up very quickly in the psyche of a young child and create a profound sense of otherness. It IS worth the extra effort it takes to develop non-food rewards and celebrations. It IS worth the extra thought required to ensure that we aren't just keeping our kids physically healthy, but also emotionally healthy.<br /> <br /> It takes a village to raise a child. It takes many arms to envelop children in a circle of safety and acceptance. It takes the strength of many to lift our children up so they can look to the future and envision possibilities beyond the immediate.<br /> <br /> So, when you are planning that holiday party, or open house event, or fundraiser, or field trip - please ask yourself, "Am I doing everything I can to ensure that all the children in the school feel equally valued and worthy?"<br /> <br /> It may just be something on your task list, but to a kid, it can mean the world.</div> 2015/08/fostering-culture-of-inclusion-in.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Sakina Bajowala, MD)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-569897044603346297.post-2086921238923303906Thu, 06 Nov 2014 05:17:00 +00002014-11-05T23:17:21.904-06:00Food allergyHalloweenKids Got Too Much Candy this Halloween? Here Are Some Options!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> If your Halloween ended up like hours, a short time spent trick or tricking resulted in a ridiculous quantity of candy. Luckily for me, the risk of finding shellfish in my boys' candy stash is exceedingly low. The same sense of relief does not extend to the families of kids with other food allergies, such as milk, egg, peanut or tree nuts. So, what's a candy-overloaded family to do? Here are a few ideas:<br /> <br /> 1. Let mom and dad eat it. Just kidding. Not really. :-/<br /> <br /> 2. Invite the "Switch Witch" over for a visit! She takes the candy, and leaves a cool toy in its place!<br /> <br /> 3. Send your candy to our troops serving abroad! Your donated candy will be included in care packages. Operation Gratitude does a great job: <a href=" /> <br /> 4. Ask your local dentist or allergist about Halloween candy buy-backs! Maybe your kids will make a few bucks... see below for a picture of a few of my patients visiting their dentist during a candy buy back event. They look pretty happy too me!<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="(1).jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="(1).jpeg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> 5. Donate the candy to a local food pantry, community center, or shelter. Ask first, to see if they are accepting candy donations.<br /> <br /> 6. Throw it away. There will be more next year, and it's just sugar anyway.</div> 2014/11/kids-got-too-much-candy-this-halloween.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Sakina Bajowala, MD)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-569897044603346297.post-7701881190680240883Fri, 18 Oct 2013 22:30:00 +00002013-10-18T17:39:53.326-05:00Excluded MedicationsExpress ScriptsFormularyMajor Changes to Express Scripts Formulary Will Affect Many Asthma and Allergy Patients<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> I just received notice that as of January 1, 2014, the Express Scripts formulary will be removing a number of medications from its repertoire of covered drugs. This means that patients under the Express Scripts plan will have NO COVERAGE for these prescriptions, and will be required to pay full price at the pharmacy. The list is long, and heavy on medications commonly used by patients with asthma and allergies:<br /> <br /> <b>Asthma medications:</b><br /> <br /> Advair diskus<br /> Advair HFA<br /> Alvesco HFA<br /> Flovent Diskus<br /> Flovent HFA<br /> Maxair Autohaler<br /> Proventil HFA<br /> Xopenex HFA<br /> <br /> <b>Allergy medications:</b><br /> <br /> Auvi-Q<br /> Beconase AQ<br /> Omnaris<br /> Rhinocort Aqua<br /> Veramyst<br /> Zetonna<br /> <br /> As insurers continue to seek ways to cut costs and boost the bottom line, they will negotiate with pharmaceutical companies to obtain lower pricing. Those companies that play ball get to keep their drugs on the formulary. Those that don't, get dropped. The losers are the patients who will be required to switch from medications they have been taking successfully.<br /> <br /> If you or a loved one are taking any of the medications on the above list, I would encourage you to schedule an appointment with your Board-Certified Allergist to discuss a trial of a covered alternative medication well in advance of January 1st. Your physician may have a sample of the new medicine that you can "try before you buy". You don't want to be in the position of being forced to switch before you've determined which alternative works for you. You may also want to take advantage of 90 day supplies of medication before the year ends and your coverage expires. Some of the soon to be excluded medications currently have manufacturer's coupons that will be valid through the end of the year.<br /> <br /> Talk to your doctor -- we're here to help you navigate through the complex state of medical affairs.</div> 2013/10/major-changes-to-express-scripts.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Sakina Bajowala, MD)3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-569897044603346297.post-4287858280380215571Fri, 20 Sep 2013 17:20:00 +00002020-02-09T09:32:35.532-06:00EpinephrineStock Epinephrine LawYour Chance to Weigh In On Stock Epinephrine Legislation (Courtesy of AANMA)<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div style="color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left;"> <span font-size:="" x-small="">I am proud to be from Illinois, where we already have excellent guidelines in place for the protection of food allergic children, and also have a stock epinephrine law on the books.

People log in each day to compete, cooperate, and create stories in digital worlds. Some matches take less than 10 minutes. Others last for hours with complex goals and teamwork. Play is fun. How Online Games Connect Players Online gaming brings people together through shared matches where actions unfold in real time. Players meet online from cities across multiple continents and work toward common objectives or face off against rivals.

Teams learn to communicate clearly so they can react together when goals shift or surprises appear in a match. These real‑time decisions create exciting moments that feel alive and unpredictable. Players meet new people constantly, which keeps the community vibrant and diverse.

People who meet in matches may decide to team up regularly, forming groups that meet at the same time every week to tackle bigger missions together. These sessions feel like digital hangouts where teammates share stories about life outside the game between rounds. Some teams invent unique names based on inside jokes or memorable wins, making the experience feel personal and special. Players meet new friends. Friends often stay in touch outside of matches through voice calls or group chats where they share clips, plan future play times, and laugh about moments that happened in recent sessions. Some players even travel to see real‑world friends they first met in a digital match when they discover they live in the same city or country. These meetups happen at local cafes, at fan conventions, or in casual gatherings that revolve around shared play. This real‑world element grows from hours of cooperation and shared achievement online, bridging digital and live social life. Communities built around a specific title may also host large events where hundreds of people join at once for special missions or competitive showdowns that only happen for a few days. Fans often post strategy guides, highlight reels, and creative fan art that others enjoy. These collective efforts help build culture and community around play, making the experience feel like a shared hobby rather than an isolated pastime.
