Aloha ‘Ohana,

Did you know that three viruses are sending both children and adults to emergency rooms across the U.S. this winter: Covid is making a comeback because of new immune-evasive variants, and flu and the respiratory syncytial virus are spreading at record rates.

Most people were able to avoid flu and RSV while much of the population was taking steps to slow the spread of Covid. Now, our immunity to these viruses may have waned.

"You can get really sick, perhaps more so than you would have normally because your immune system really hasn't been challenged as much recently," said Dr. Priya Soni, a pediatric infectious disease specialist.

So, how do you know if you or your children have one of these viruses? We've created an interactive guide to help you identify your symptoms - and what to do to confirm and treat the various infections. (If your symptoms are severe or if you test positive for Covid, call (808) 293-9231 or visit www.koolauloachc.org to set up an appointment).

Aloha ‘Ohana,

Here are a few important COVID-19 vaccination and booster reminders.

Even if you feel healthy and young at heart, you should take steps to stay that way — like eating vegetables, wearing a seatbelt, and staying active.

Getting boosted for COVID-19 should be just another smart thing to add to your health checklist, especially with omicron’s contagiousness. (And even if you’ve had COVID in the past, it’s still a good idea to get a booster!)

Call (808) 293-9231 to schedule your appointment or visit: www.koolauloachc.org/covid-19-vaccinations to learn more.

As we start 2022 we would like to help protect your keiki, your family, and our community. Getting a COVID-19 vaccine can help protect children ages 5 years and older from getting COVID-19.

• Vaccinating children can help protect family members, including siblings who are not eligible for vaccination and family members who may be at increased risk of getting very sick if they are infected.

• Vaccination can also help keep children from getting seriously sick even if they do get COVID-19.

• Vaccinating children ages 5 years and older can help keep them in school and help them safely participate in sports, playdates, and other group activities.

• Help us protect your whole family and slow the spread of COVID-19 in our community by getting yourself and your children ages 5 years and older vaccinated against COVID-19.

Call (808) 293-9231 to make your vaccination appointment today.

Aloha ‘Ohana - here is some good news for you this Monday. 

CDC backs expansion of COVID boosters for all adults

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky is recommending COVID-19 vaccine boosters for all adults. The announcement came just hours after a vaccine advisory committee voted unanimously to expand Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine boosters to everyone 18 and older.

Last week Friday, the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted in support of a change to COVID-19 vaccination policy that says people 50 and older should get a booster if they had a primary immunization with an mRNA vaccine (Moderna or Pfizer) at least six months before. The recommendation also applies to people 18 and older in long-term care settings. 

For people at least 18 and younger than 50, the panel supported a policy that recommends they receive a booster based on their individual risks and benefits.

If you have any questions regarding your booster, or if you haven’t gotten your COVID-19 vaccination yet, please call our friendly staff at (808) 293-9231 to set up an appointment today.
