One of main reasons people gain weight over the holidays is because they tend to overeat more often instead of listening to their body. By paying attention to our hunger cues, we can prevent overeating but still enjoy the holidays and all our favorite treats but, of course, in moderation...

Obviously Facebook is featured quite heavily! Thanks to all of our fans for being active, engaged members of our online community.

thanks for having more days of availability to have us book on line or phone call (please keep it this way to have ONE appointment time include more days of openings for others). I still couldn't call in, but was able to get a slot on line. thanks for SLVHD, whoever was posting answers to my concerns, my son finally got his 2nd nose spray vaccine!! :) what a relief. SLVHD having a fb account helps a lot to deliver messages too.

if you had the h1n1 in nasal spray form, you are ok to get the seasonal flu injectible shot, right? without waiting 28 days?

Salt Lake Valley Health Department (SLVHD)
Betsy, thank you for clarifying. No wait period is required if one vaccine is in the nasal spray form and the other is injectable. The only required wait time would is if both the seasonal and H1N1 vaccines were administered in the nasal spray form.

Salt Lake Valley Health Department (SLVHD) We're still taking both online & phone appointments this morning. I'm at the call center and suspect we'll continue to take appointments here for at least another hour - if not longer.

If my 18 month old grandson was exposed to H1N1 this week is it too late for him to be immunized? and If not where can he go? His parents were both immunized but not him because Walgreens would not immunize under 13 years of age. Is there anything else his parents can do to prevent him getting it at this point?

Nancy, I would encourage your family to speak directly with your healthcare provider for advice about treatment and access to the vaccine in this case.
