Schools Call The Shots

Posted

on health Schools Call The Shots (NAPSA)—If anything, schools are becomingstricter than ever about refusing to admit students until they’ve gotten all their required immunization shots— and that includes some colleges now demandingbooster shots. Immunizations needn’t be painful, thanksto topical skin refrigerants. While their concern is entirely understandable—infectious diseases killed or disabled thousands in the United States alone prior to widespread immunization—that still doesn’t solve one of parents’ biggest concerns: How to get their kids into a doctor’s office or public health clinic to take the shots when they’re often more afraid than their 6-year-olds that the needle will hurt? Not to worry. Just before any injections against the likes of measles, mumps and polio, the doctor or nurse can spray Gebauer’s Ethyl Chloride Pain-Ease directly on to the child’s skin, cooling and numbing the area. This eases anxiety for both parent and child. Ask your doctor about Gebauer’s Ethyl Chloride Pain-Ease. For more information, call 1-800-3219348 or visit www.gebauerco.com.
