It pains me to point out all of this missed opportunity – but in wake of Wolfgang Puck’s possible infection of the Hollywood elite and the IRS crackdown on Goody Bag booty, I believe we have found the next hot Hollywood trend …. Hepatitis Vaccinations.
Hollywood should take a hint from smart college students who are traveling internationally, Vaccine Rx recommends:
Most student health centers that specialize in International travel recommend a combined vaccination for both Hepatitis A & B called Twinrix. Other vaccinations recommended by such offices (including the WVU International Travel Clinic) include influenza, measles, chicken pox, tetanus, diphtheria typhoid and yellow fever.
According to Dr. Gregory Juckett, associate professor of family medicine and director of the International Travel Clinic at West Virginia University, ?The single most important vaccine is Hepatitis A if you are going to a developing county,? Juckett said. ?The virus is easily spread through fecally contaminated food and water or you could get exposed to it while swimming in what looks like clean ocean water.?
Smart party planners should do their part and reach out to the manufacturer of Twinrix and nab some free samples.
