Our First  Tip is – GET VACCINATED!  You can’t turn on the news today without listening to a story about covid vaccinations, and our #1 Tip is Stay immunized – not just the covid vaccine, but all recommended vaccines.

Tip #6 – Manage your chronic conditions.  Whether its high blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol or other conditions, managing them to stay in line with your physician’s recommendations is critical.  Check out our low cost lab test services and our low cost Easy Max Diabetes Kit.

Tip #7 – Education – you’ve heard the expression, knowledge is power.  Well its true when it comes to maintaining good health!  When it comes to pharmacy that means knowing what medications you take, what they look like, and what condition they are treating. Check out our recent and upcoming educational programs.

Tip #8 – Know your Pharmacist!  Do you know your pharmacist by name?  We think it is important to know our customers by name and develop a relationship so that you feel free to call anytime and ask for your pharmacist to discuss any questions or concerns you may have.

COVID-19 Vaccine: Myths vs Facts with Jim Adams, Canton City Public Health

Health Matters is a weekly radio show sponsored by the Medicine Center Pharmacy on WHBC 1480 AM in Canton, Ohio. This episode pharmacists Brad White and Paul White discuss are joined by Health Commissioner, Jim Adams, will be discussing COVID-19 Vaccines - Fact vs. Myth. You can catch the show on News-Talk 1480 WHBC or streaming live on Facebook each Friday at 9am EST. #cantonhealth #talkinghealth #COVID19Vaccine #medicinecenterpharmacy #healthmatters #ohio

There aren’t many topics more widely or hotly debated than receiving a Covid19 vaccination. A poll released last week showed that only 47% of Americans plan to get the vaccine. Those who didn’t want it mostly said they were concerned about side effects and the development and approval process, though the poll didn’t ask about many widely circulating myths. This morning we are fortunate to share this time and space with Jim Adams to set the record straight and talk about the facts and the myths surrounding the Covid-19 vaccine. We also want to thank Jim and the staff of the Canton City Public Health for vaccinating the staff of our Canton pharmacy. The process was efficient, professional and greatly appreciated. Thank you!
