MDHHS Flu Shot

Family


The following post is sponsored by Michigan HHS.
MDHHS Flu Shot

Hello, friends!

As you know, we’re all focused on staying healthy right now, especially in the face of COVID-19. Our healthcare system is already stressed and overwhelmed, so it’s important that we protect ourselves and our families now by getting the flu shot this year. 

There are a lot of misconceptions about the flu and the flu vaccine, so I wanted to share some information that might be helpful when making the decision to get the flu vaccine this year. I believe that everyone has the right to make the choices that are best for their family, and having knowledge and key facts will help you to do so!

MDHHS Flu Shot

About the Flu & Flu Vaccine

  • The flu vaccine is safe, effective, and protects everyone aged 6 months and older.
  • There were an estimated 39-56 MILLION cases of the flu last year in the United States.
  • Last year there were half a million hospitalizations due to the flu, this included six pediatric flu-related deaths in Michigan for 2019-20. (Source)
  • A flu shot CANNOT cause the flu, the vaccine doesn’t even have the live virus in it
  • The most common side effects are soreness, redness, tenderness or swelling where the shot was given, but most people experience no side effects at all.
  • If you develop a low-grade fever, headache, or muscle aches – these minor side effects aren’t the flu, they’re a sign your body is developing the immunity it needs.
  • Flu vaccination has been shown to reduce the risk of having to go to the doctor due to the flu by 40 to 60 percent.
  • If you get sick with the flu, the vaccination has been shown in many studies to reduce its severity.
  • A 2018 study showed that getting a flu shot reduced a pregnant woman’s risk of being hospitalized with flu by an average of 40 percent. (Source)

 

MDHHS Flu Shot

Did you know it takes up to two weeks after you get the flu shot for your body to build up immunity to prevent the flu? Don’t wait to get vaccinated, now is a perfect time and there is an ample supply of the flu vaccine throughout Michigan. Check with your doctor, pharmacy, and local health department to see where you can get the vaccine.

Lady (our new puppy) and I were busy making appointments to get the flu vaccine for our family today, so make sure to check out all of the options you have as well!

✨Monday Energy✨ Today my therapist and I were ✨Monday Energy✨

Today my therapist and I were talking about the power you have to see your glass as either half full or half empty.

I’m someone with anxiety, depression, and chronic illness - and balancing those while keeping a “half glass full” mentality can be hard. But it’s so necessary.

Here are some morning affirmations I plan on saying every day to keep a positive mindset, wanted to share them in case you want to try it, too!

✨I send love to every part of my body.

✨I am excited to wake up each morning to live this beautiful life I am creating.

✨Today i align myself with freedom, growth, and joy.

✨I give myself permission to go after what I want.

✨I am determined and will never give up.

#ad 📌 A priority for nearly everyone right now #ad 📌 A priority for nearly everyone right now is just to stay healthy, especially amid COVID. Our hospitals are near capacity and struggling, so let’s help them out and try to do everything in our power to prevent unnecessary hospital visits. 

📊 Last year in the U.S., there were an estimated 39 – 56 million cases of the flu, 18 – 26 million medical visits due to the flu, and approximately half a million flu hospitalizations. Getting the flu shot and protecting ourselves and our families can help to reduce that number.

(ad) 💕 Staying comfortable and stylish for Valentine’s Day is easy with @teamfitforme. My hunt for comfy underwear that feels good and is specifically #madeforcurves and makes me feel better from the inside out is over. 

🌬 I love these Breathable Cotton-Mesh Briefs because they’re so soft and light - and they truly are (as the name suggests) “breathable” - perfect for those of us who have hot flashes. 😉 🔥

It can be REALLY easy to feel shame for "not doing enough" on the days that are hard for us. But taking the time to heal and give your body what it needs IS being productive, and that’s something that I’m always trying to remind myself.

Just wanted to share in case anyone else needs the reminder, too. ✨ You ARE enough, and you’re DOING enough, even if it’s not as much as you did yesterday.

#ad 💕 I was so excited to hear that @athleta had worked with active women of all sizes to not only extend their sizing but also to test each piece to ensure the fit and performance was perfect. I’ve always marveled at the Athleta styles and to finally wear them myself was huge!

I am a 22/24 and wear a 3X typically, in Athleta I am a 2X and the pieces fit like a glove. The fabrics are soft and comfortable and I just really feel like they succeeded in their mission to create gorgeous, size-inclusive workout wear.

I’m doing a full try-on of a few different styles in my stories. Take a peek and let me know which active look I shared is your favorite!
