The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is again recommending "universal vaccination" for everyone 6 months of age and older. If you are an adult under 65 years of age, you will get a quadrivalent vaccine that protects against 4 strains of influenza. If you're over 65, you will receive a high-dose version of the vaccine.
If you would like to join us on Saturday, November 3rd for a workshop that will help you cope with emotions and grief after losing a loved one, please register by October 26th.
Nine states and the District of Columbia have legalized recreational cannabis and an additional 20 states have legalized medical cannabis. Are there proven medical uses for cannabis? Is recreational use worse than alcohol or tobacco? How do state laws comply with federal polices? What is the Illinois Medical Cannabis Pilot Program like? These and many other aspects of the ongoing, and rapidly evolving, debate on the legalities of marijuana will be discussed by Dr. Jack Herrmann.
