Chicken disposal site earmarked in case of bird flu
DALLAS — Texas Department of State Health Services and the U.S. Department of Agriculture will begin a testing program for residents who are home sick with seasonal flu to determine if they should come in contact with the virus.
The testing program includes a small group of individuals — 1 in 5 people in Texas are home sick. The Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital at Dallas, Mercy Medical Center and Texas Children’s Hospital, along with other large hospitals in Texas, will do the testing.
The test involves taking blood and swabbing air from the ear of an individual who is admit아산안마ted to a hospital emergency department and in a short period of time, air from the ear is collected. They have to take blood samples and their eyes are then examined by an eye specialist to look for flu particles.
The tests also determine a patient’s virus status, and patients will be sent home with a small amount of vaccine they can use in the event of a flu-like illness to prevent a spread of the illness. The testing is for about three days and will determine if there is a good risk of another flu virus infecting the individual.
While people who are home sick will be treated and given a shot of vaccine, those who don’t have the flu-li파라오 카지노ke illness are not to be vaccinated.
DHS Health Services and the U.S. Department of Agriculture are asking individuals to go to the health department’s Animal Health Branch, at 610 E. Broadway from noon to 4 p.m. Aug. 11 to report any reported illnesses they may have while visiting a pet site.
«Because of the significant number of pets who visit and interact with the health care facilities, we know there are thousands of pets that visit these sites every year that will become infected by a wild bird if not treated,» said Debbie Lauer, public information office for Health Services and Agricultur화천안마 화천출장마사지e. «If this happens to you, you can report this by mail and call or visit your veterinarian for a flu shot.»
