Whoop-de-do: Updated Vaccine Information

By Karen L. Kier
Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU Healthwise Team

As I was grocery shopping this week, an announcement came overhead about the new updated guidelines for the COVID-19 vaccines. After the announcement, a lady in the same aisle rolled her eyes and said, with obvious disdain, “Whoop-de-do.” 

I refrained from going into a pharmacist educational mode in the dairy aisle, but I wondered if she really understood what she was whoop-de-doing about.

What to expect when you're expecting a total solar eclipse, part 2

NOTE: As of April 5, the forecast for Monday afternoon is mostly sunny with a high near 71 degrees.

By Paula Pyzik Scott

The Icon has sifted through local and national resources to provide you with the following tips on what to expect when you’re in the “path of totality” of the total solar eclipse in the communities of Ada and Bluffton on Monday, April 8, 2024.

EYE SAFETY
The longest-lasting potential impact of the eclipse is eye damage. Looking directly at the sun can result in serious and permanent eye injury. The retina does not have pain receptors, so damage can be done without immediate symptoms.

Special eclipse glasses are being offered by many local businesses and organizations. Look for ISO-approved solar-eclipse glasses that include labels with the name of the manufacturer, instructions for safe use and warnings of the dangers of improper use. 

Even your camera needs a solar filter on the lens. Photographing the eclipse can damage camera sensors, including cell phone cameras.
