Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

COVID-19: Safety Tips for You
Mario Pérez
May 26 · 5 min read
As some communities begin to reopen during the global coronavirus (COVID-19)
pandemic, public health o cials say the best way to prevent illness is to avoid being
exposed to this virus.
Below are some steps from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to help
protect yourself and others. Stay informed about what’s happening in your community,
and always follow the directions of state and local authorities.
Free Video Reveals: The Hidden TRUTH About the Coronavirus! And You
Can Protect Your Family From Danger Today……
HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds,
especially after being in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing or
sneezing.
If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer with at least 60%
alcohol.
2. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Some people without symptoms
may be able to spread the virus.
Stay home as much as possible and avoid non-essential travel.
Practice social distancing by keeping at least 6 feet — about two arm lengths —
away from others if you must go out in public.
Stay connected with loved ones through video and phone calls, texts and social
media.
Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face cover when around
others and when you must go out in public, such as to a grocery store. The cloth
face cover is meant to protect other people in case you are infected.
However, do NOT place cloth face coverings on young children under age 2, anyone
who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to
remove the mask without assistance.
In addition, do NOT use a facemask meant for a health care worker.
Continue to keep about 6 feet between yourself and others. The cloth face cover is
not a substitute for social distancing.
See CDC guidelines, including how to create your own cloth face cover.
Cover your coughs and sneezes. Use a tissue to cover your nose and
mouth, and throw used tissues in a lined trash can. If a tissue isn’t available, cough
or sneeze into your elbow — not your hands. Wash your hands immediately.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This
includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones,
keyboards, toilets, faucets and sinks. Follow CDC guidance.
According to the CDC, early information shows that older adults, people who live in a
nursing home or long-term care facility, and individuals of any age with the conditions
below are at higher risk of getting very sick from COVID-19:
Free Video Reveals: The Hidden TRUTH About the Coronavirus! And You
Can Protect Your Family From Danger Today……
Have serious underlying medical conditions, particularly if not well
controlled, such as heart, lung or liver disease; diabetes; moderate to severe
asthma; severe obesity; and chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis.
Have a weakened immune system, including those undergoing cancer
treatment, smoking and having other immunocompromised conditions.
If you are at higher risk for serious illness from COVID-19, it is critical for you to:
Stay home if possible and follow the other steps above. Avoid all cruise travel
and non-essential air travel.
Call your health care provider if you have concerns or to ask about
obtaining extra necessary medications in case you need to stay home for a
3. prolonged period of time.
Call a medical professional as soon as COVID-19 symptoms
start, if you are at higher risk.
See CDC guidance for more information for those at higher risk.
COVID-19 symptoms include fever, coughing and shortness of breath, plus additional
ones listed on the CDC website. Keep track of your symptoms, which may appear two to
14 days after exposure, and call to seek medical attention if your symptoms worsen,
such as di culty breathing.
If you think you may have been exposed to COVID-19, contact your health care
provider immediately.
Free Video Reveals: The Hidden TRUTH About the Coronavirus! And You
Can Protect Your Family From Danger Today……
Stay home and call your doctor for medical advice and before visiting a
medical o ce. Older adults and people of any age with serious underlying medical
conditions should call a health care provider as soon as symptoms start.
Separate yourself from other people in your home.
Avoid sharing personal household items, such as dishes, drinking glasses, cups,
eating utensils, towels or bedding. Wash items thoroughly after using them with
soap and hot water.
On your own, clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces daily in your sick room and
designated bathroom. Have a healthy household member do the same for surfaces
in other parts of the home. If you are sharing a bathroom, clean and disinfect it after
each use.
Emergency Warning Signs
If your symptoms become severe, call to get medical attention immediately. Warning
signs include:

Can Protect Your Family From Danger Today……
Trouble breathing
Persistent pain or pressure in the chest
New confusion
Inability to wake or stay awake
Bluish lips or face
This list is not all inclusive. Consult your medical provider for any other symptoms that
are severe or concerning. Call 911 if you have a medical emergency and note if you
have, or think you might have, COVID-19.
Review CDC guidance for more information if you are sick, including what to do if you
live in close quarters, shared housing or have pets.
