We are encouraging Home Health patients to talk to their doctor about the Shingles vaccinations. Home Health asks all of their patients whether or not they have recieved the shot or not. Since we are right in the homes with the patients and their families, it is a perfect time to start the discussion. Education: We are encouraging HH patients over the age of 50 years old, that has had a history of chicken pox and is not allergic to the ingredients of the vaccine and have never had the vaccine, to get the vaccine.
