Seasonal Flu Shots
Influenza (the flu) is a contagious respiratory illness. It can cause mild to severe illness, and at times can lead to death.
The best way to prevent seasonal flu is by getting a seasonal flu vaccination ach year.
Each year in the United States on average, 5% to 20% of the population gets the flu; on average, more than 200,000 people are hospitalized from flu-related complications, and; about 36,000 people die from flu-related causes. Some people, such as older people, young children, and people with certain health conditions, are at high risk for serious flu complications.

WHY GET A MANTOUX
According to the Mayo Clinic www.MayoClinic.com., despite advances in treatment, TB remains a major cause of illness and death worldwide, especially in Africa and Asia. Every year tuberculosis kills almost 2 million people. Since the 1980s, rates of TB have increased, fueled by the HIV/AIDS epidemic and the emergence of drug-resistant strains of the TB bacteria.
Tuberculosis (TB) is a potentially serious infectious disease that primarily affects your lungs. Tuberculosis is spread from person to person through tiny droplets released into the air. Most people who become infected with the bacteria that cause tuberculosis don't develop symptoms of the disease.
Allied Professionals would be happy to arrange a time to come directly to your office to administrate the mantoux test.
HOW DO YOU GET TESTED
Skin Test
The most commonly used diagnostic tool for TB is a simple skin test.
For the Mantoux test, a small amount of a substance called PPD tuberculin is injected just below the skin of your inside forearm. You should feel only a slight needle prick. Within 48 to 72 hours a health care professional will check your arm for swelling at the injection site, indicating a reaction to the injected material. A hard, raised red bump (induration) means you're likely to have TB infection. The size of the bump determines whether the test results are significant, based on your risk factors for TB.
