18.01.2022 From the article: //The vaccine court's data show that bona fide vaccine injuries are rare. For every million vaccine doses eligible for compensation that were ...distributed in the decade beginning in 2006, the court compensated one injury victim. Depending on the gravity of the disease in question, receiving a vaccine is orders of magnitude less dangerous than staying unvaccinated. The tetanus vaccine that Durant received causes a life-threatening allergic reaction in at most 0.0006% of people who get the shot. The U.S. case fatality rate from tetanus, by contrast, is 13.2%.// ___ Edit: as pointed out below by a few followers, these numbers given by sciencemag.org are not entirely correct. From a comment below: ...we should instead be comparing is the risk of dying from a vaccine-related injury (0.0006%) to the risk of *contracting and then dying* from tetanus, which is a hell of a lot lower than 13.2%. If you live in somewhere that's hot and wet - India, South America, etc, your risk of contracting tetanus if you're unvaccinated is notable. If you live in a cold northern locale, your likelihood of contracting tetanus is virtually zero, even if you're not vaccinate. "Virtually zero" is not zero, tetanus is horrible if you do get it, and your risk certainly goes up if you travel. So get the vaccine. But lets be honest about relative risk here. ___ Doctor Anna additional comment: Calculating the risk of not getting vaccinated can be tricky. Also, tetanus is a bit of a special case as it doesn't develop into huge epidemics. I should have checked their numbers more carefully before posting. I blame if on my two week long wedding hangover. Take measles as an example of an illness that cause epidemics. If everyone gets vaccinated, the probability of dying from the vaccine slowly approaches the risk of contracting and dying of the illness itself. Because when everyone is vaccinated, the disease disappears (see smallpox). However, the relative risks can quickly change if the illness isn't eradicated. This is what we currently see with measles. This is why we should still vaccinate even if the disease frequency temporarily decreases. ___ Further from the article: "One injury from vaccines is one too many, but it is also important to keep perspective," says Sarah Atanasoff, a physician at the VICP in Rockville, Maryland. "The benefits of vaccination to the individual, the local community, and the nation as a whole far outweigh the risks." Vaccination also can provoke (as well as prevent) febrile seizures, which occur in up to 5% of toddlers who become feverish for any reason. Those seizures are most common after measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) or the combined MMR and chickenpox vaccine, occurring in up to 300 of each million children vaccinated. Typically lasting 1 to 2 minutes, the seizures can be frightening to witness. But they are transient and almost always without lasting effects.// Shoulder injuries are by far the commonest claims at the vaccine court. They result when a needle penetrates the shoulder joint, causing inflammation of tendons and fluid-filled bursas. These damages can indeed be real, but have more to do with where the needle was inserted and less to do with the vaccine.

17.01.2022 2016 Pensioner/concession prescription prices. The Federal Govt. have increased the the patient contribution to $6.20. However, for the first time ever it was passed thru parliament to LEGALLY allow up to $1 discount on the patient contribution. As of Jan 1st 2106 we will be charging $5.20 for Pensioner/concession prescriptions:this excludes any brand price premium which is non discountable This BPP in most cases can be removed by changing to a generic version if you choose.

16.01.2022 We just want to start the week with a huge thank you to all of our amazing customers who support us every single day! These days its becoming harder and harder for small pharmacies like ours to stay afloat. Whilst we try to get as many good deals as we can we just cannot compete against the big discount chemists. But we offer something more important than bargain deals - we provide genuine caring attention and service to our customers. We really do understand how m...uch your health affects your life and we do everything we can to help you get better. We have time for you. We listen to you for as long as you like. We answer your questions. We spend time fixing the mix up with your medications We make special creams for your rash that other products havent helped. We hold your baby whilst you look for your keys. We comfort you when you cry. We never rush you. We remember you. We support you. We care. Unlike all other medical professionals, Pharmacists dont get paid extra for doing any of these things. Their comparatively low wages simply cover them for dispensing prescriptions. Thats why the chain chemists dont go above and beyond like us - because caring for people takes time away from dispensing as many scripts as possible. So THANK YOU . Whenever you support a small pharmacy like ours, you keep good health care alive. You allow us to keep helping you in the way you deserve. And you help 6 people keep their jobs to support their own families. Your support for our business helps so many lives. Thank you so much

14.01.2022 As you know, the short-sharp lockdown of Perth, Peel and the South West is due to end tomorrow evening at 6pm. As of 8pm tonight, I can confirm that we have re...corded no new local cases of COVID-19. This is a remarkable achievement, and the credit belongs to each and every Western Australian. The short five-day lockdown has done the job it was designed to do to reassure us that we don’t have community spread of the virus. Provided that we continue to have no new local cases tomorrow, that lockdown will end at 6pm. But as we have flagged, some restrictions will need to remain until we can be absolutely sure that our community is COVID-free. Tonight I can outline to you what that transitional phase will look like for our State. Pending ongoing testing results and expert health advice, lockdown restrictions for Perth, Peel and the South-West will be lifted at 6:00pm tomorrow evening (Friday 5 February). Following that, stay-at-home rules will be lifted - and interim restrictions will apply to Perth and Peel. The South West will immediately return to pre-lockdown conditions at 6pm tomorrow (Friday 5 February). A post-lockdown transition period for the Perth and Peel regions to keep WA safe and resume a more COVID-safe way of life will remain in place until 12.01am Sunday morning, 14 February allowing for the full 14-day incubation period to run its course. All Western Australians must continue to practise physical distancing where possible and maintain good personal hygiene at all times. The post lockdown transitional measures for the Perth and Peel regions, include the following measures: - Everyone must continue to wear a mask in public and while at work, unless exempt or for outdoor vigorous exercise - All business and venues can reopen, except for the casino and nightclubs - 4 square metre capacity rule in place for most venues - 150-person capacity excluding staff at hospitality, entertainment and venues and events including weddings and funerals at these venues - Community sport can start, and involve up to 150 people including players, officials and spectators. - Seated service only at hospitality venues - Dancing only permitted at weddings and dance studios - 20-person limit for private indoor and outdoor gatherings - Visits to aged care and disability care facilities restricted to compassionate grounds - Residential school and boarding facilities can resume with a COVID Safety Plan - Only essential travel is permitted in and out of the Perth and Peel regions to other parts of WA. Under the post-lockdown transition measures, Perth and Peel schools will start from Monday, 8 February, with the mandatory mask rule applying to all school staff and secondary students. Masks are not required for primary school students. Masks are also mandatory for staff at childcare facilities as well as students and staff in higher education, including TAFEs and universities. Teaching staff are permitted to remove their mask if teaching at the front of the classroom to enable clear enunciation. People who need to leave the Perth and Peel region for essential purposes must wear a mask at all times in other regions of WA, as per the rules in place in Perth and Peel. Elective surgery at WA public hospitals will resume once the lockdown has ended and people will be contacted directly to re-schedule and re-book their appointments which were suspended due to the five-day lockdown. FIFO workers will once again be able to leave the Perth and Peel regions, but documentation will be required and they must follow strict health protocols. COVID-safe measures including the use of contact registers and SafeWA will continue to be crucial as part of post-lockdown life. Currently, the onus is on businesses to ensure a contact register is available for patrons. But from 6pm tomorrow the responsibility will be shared individuals will now also face penalties if they fail to scan in using either SafeWA or the contact register available. As always, authorities will apply a common-sense approach. For more information on our post-lockdown plans visit www.wa.gov.au. This is an important step for our State, and one which we are only able to take because Western Australians have overwhelmingly done the right thing under extremely challenging circumstances. This week we have seen the absolute best of WA. The community united behind one another, followed the rules, got tested and gave us confidence to move to this transitional stage. But this has been an extremely disruptive week, and I expect the next 24 hours and the following week will still be challenging for many people. I encourage everyone to support local businesses as much as they can - it will go a long way to help them recover from the events of the past week. I wish we could just snap back immediately to the life we had last week - but doing so would be too risky. It would be irresponsible. All things going well, and if we continue to see good results from our COVID testing, this phase will last for less than nine days. But to make sure that happens, I do need to ask one more thing: If you are unwell, if you have any symptoms please go get tested. And obviously, if you have been to any of the exposure sites, you need to get tested. And even if you have received a negative result, get tested again if symptoms develop. I cannot stress this enough. I know this week has been tough. But we live in the best country in the world and the best State in the country. And we will get through this. Thank you.

02.01.2022 CHOKING Could you save your child? Choking is extremely common with young children. If a child cannot breathe, irreversible brain damage can occur within minu...tes, so rapid action is required. There are 5 points every parent should know about choking: 1 - Coughing: - If the child can cough effectively and is therefore able to breathe, let them cough and encourage them to do so. 2. Back blows:- If the child is unable to cough effectively, 000 should be called and up to 5 back blows between the shoulder blades should be given with the heel of the hand, preferably with the childs head down low. After each blow, check to see if the obstruction has been relieved. 3. Chest thrusts:- If the back blows were not successful, perform up to 5 chest thrusts in the middle of the chest (in the same place as for CPR). Chest thrusts are very similar to chest compressions for CPR, but are sharper and delivered at a slower rate. A baby should be placed in a head downwards position for the chest thrusts to be given. Children and adults may be treated in a sitting or standing position. After each thrust, check to see if the obstruction has been relieved (so youre performing only one thrust at a time). 4. Alternate:- Continue alternating the 5 back blows and 5 chest thrusts. 5. CPR:- If the child becomes unconscious, start CPR! --------------- If you have any questions, or would like info on running a private child-specific first-aid course in your own home, contact: Steve Lewsen Director - Family First Aid 9275 6666 or 0402 043 181 [email protected] www.FamilyFirstAid.com.au
