It's already back-to-school season! Breakfast plays a crucial role in the day. Research shows that kids who eat breakfast tend to have improved cognitive skills, better academic performance, and are healthier overall. However, finding a nutritious breakfast that keeps children satisfied can be challenging. The optimal choice includes a healthy carbohydrate paired with protein or healthy fats to help them stay full until lunchtime.

All vaccine recommendations follow the CDC’s official travel guidelines. According to these guidelines, we recommend scheduling your travel-related care 4 to 6 weeks before departure.
This is the ideal timeframe to contact your pharmacist and begin preparations! The guidelines vary based on your destination, so it is important to have a thorough discussion about travel plans to ensure you receive all the required vaccinations.
AUG 13 MEDIA RELEASE — Traveling abroad? ONU HealthWise Pharmacy can help individuals prepare for a safe and healthy journey with travel vaccine consultations.
By calling ahead–the earlier, the better–the pharmacy team can begin by checking if recommended vaccines are in stock.
During your scheduled consultation, our pharmacists will discuss the details of your travel plans–including destination, departure date and planned activities–to assess which vaccines are necessary for a specific trip. Because many travel vaccines are not part of routine immunizations, insurance coverage may vary.
