Not all flu shots are created equally and flu mist is not a good option this year. Wellnessmart offers the Quadrivalent flu vaccine, the most advanced formula available. Vaccination not only helps keep you healthy, but those around you. Learn more about flu vaccines at http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/season/flu-season-2016-2017.htm and walk in to get yours today!

Remember, if traveling just to South Africa to visit Kruger National Park and other sites, a Yellow Fever vaccine is NOT required or recommended. But we are happy to help with travel consultations, antimalarials, and any other vaccines! Travel safe

If you are traveling, come in and learn how to protect yourself from these deadly ladies...

Travel clients often ask about permethrin, which we recommend for thin clothing in addition to DEET on skin for those traveling to areas with diseases carried by insects. Here is a link to a new study from the CDC showing again how effective permethrin is against biting insects. Make sure that you have the most up to date information to keep yourself and you family safe when traveling. Wellnessmart staff will take the time to educate you with the latest info from the CDC and WHO; travel consultations only $25!

We hope the New Year brings you new adventures in exciting places. Remember, some countries legally require proof of a Yellow Fever vaccine for travel. Here is a handy list from the World Health Organization (WHO). Good news: the vaccine, which used to be required every 10 years, is now good for life. If your destination is on this list, make sure to come in 2 weeks before your trip and if you need the vaccine or have any travel questions, Wellnessmart is here to help. Happy traveling!
