Zika Virus Update from Dr. Shanik Pediatric affiliates Lakewood, NJ

Zika update as of October 19, 2016:
-Do not travel to Miami Dade county until Jan,15,2017
-All other areas of Florida are safe for travel for now

No woman of child bearing age and or their husband should travel to Miami Dade county, Florida until January 15, 2017 due to the possibility of contracting the Zika Virus. Also, anyone that travels to that area can bring the virus back and cause further spreading  to others locally. If someone is bitten by a mosquito with Zika Virus there and then is bitten by a mosquito here when they return, that mosquito here will now have the virus and will spread it to anyone else it bites. All other areas of Florida are safe for travel for now. This is all subject to change and will be updated as we learn more.

-Dr Shanik & Dr. Haimowitz

Kosher ground beef at Costco is Non Glatt

Costco has introduced a new line of chopped meat in the kosher section that is under Triangle K but not Glatt.
The CRC issued a statement-

"Costco has introduced a new line of meat from Tomer Kosher Foods which is certified by Triangle K and Rabbi Elimelech Lebowitz. Please note that this meat is non-glatt." 
The Heimish looking label with hebrew letters is confusing with symbols of other trusted hashgachos.

Dr. Shanik: No nasal spray vaccine for Flu per CDC recommendation

Pediatric affiliates of Lakewood will not issue the FluMist spray this year. The CDC recommended for this year to avoid using the nasal spray version of the flu annual vaccine. The CDC has recommended annual flu shots for everyone ages 6 months and older for the past six years. During the 2014-2015 season, federal health officials had recommended the nasal spray vaccine for young children. But an expert panel on vaccines said in June that the nasal spray, FluMist, used by millions, failed to protect children last year for the third year in a row and should not be used this coming flu season.

צרכי עמך מרובים

With  yom tov approaching there are families who are struggling to make ends meet. Its time to help out the many yechidim who have no where to turn and are too embarrassed to ask. The sky rocketing tax hikes is only making matters worse, add the new gas tax expense, and those who have no busing losing pay at work for coming late. Its time to focus all our tzedakas on עניי עירך. Many of these families are not known to the Gaboei tzadaka and are on nobody's list. If you think of a neighbor a relative or friend that  are struggling or have been laid off recently, try to help them out in a bakovodiker way. Adopt your neighbor, adopt your friend, adopt your brother. Donate to local Lakewood Tzedakos below:
