TAIZO: THIS IS IMPORTANT.
IF YOU'RE IN THE OTHER ROOM, BE
A PART OF THIS.
CASTLE MEDICAL CENTER WANTS TO
KEEP YOU HEALTHY AND EDUCATE
ABOUT HEPATITIS A.
DO YOU NEED A SHOT?
ERIK ANDERSON AND JON SHAFFER TO
WE WERE CHATTING ON THE
COMMERCIAL BREAK ABOUT THIS.
EVEN OUR VIEWERS, THEY'RE
PUTTING QUESTIONS.
YOU, WHAT IS HEPATITIS A?
WE HEAR IT BUT WHAT IS IT?
HEPATITIS A IS A VIRUSES VIRUSES THAT
ACROSS THE WORLD.
YOU GET IT BY COMING IN CLOSE
CONTACT WITH SOMEBODY THAT HAS
THE DISEASE OR CONTAMINATED FOOD
OR WATER SOURCE.
TAIZO: CAN IT BE A FATAL
DISEASE?
IN RARE CASES, YEAH, WITH
COMPLICATIONS.
TAIZO: MOST TIMES WHAT
HAPPENS?
YOU GET VERY SICK.
SOME OF THE SYMPTOMS WOULD
INCLUDE FEVER, GENERAL MALAISE,
ABDOMINAL PAIN, JOINT PAIN,
NAUSEA AND JAUNDICE.
YELLOW SKIN.
WHEN WE HAD THE STORY COME OUT,
TO BE HONEST, I HEAR HEPATITIS
A, B AND C.
I GOT CONFUSED.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
THERE'S A NUMBER OF
DIFFERENCES.
THE FURS IS GOING TO BE HOW YOU
CAN CONTRACT IT.
HEPATITIS A IS GOING TO BE
THROUGH SOME TYPE OF FOOD.
B AND C IS GOING TO BE MORE
RELATED TOWARDS LIKE A BODY
FLUID EXPOSURE.
YOU GET SOMEONE ELSE'S BLOOD ON
YOU OR IN YOU.
YOU CAN GET B OR C THAT WAY.
ANOTHER DIFFERENCE IT WOULD BE
THE INCUE BASE PERIOD.
THE TIME IT TAKES FOR YOU TO
ACTUALLY START SEEING SIGNS AND
SYMPTOMS.
FOR HEP A, YOU COULD EAT
SOMETHING AND IT COULD BE 50
DAYS LATER.
TAIZO: WOW.
BEFORE YOU EVEN START TO FEEL
ILLNESS.
AND FOR HEP B AND C, IT COULD BE
UP TO SIX MONTHS LATER.
TAIZO: MY GOODNESS.
WOW.
BIG TIME FRAMES.
SO IT IS IMPORTANT -- AND YOU
GUYS TALKED ABOUT THIS, THE
SHOTS.
WE WERE TALKING ON THE BREAK.
I GREW UP, MY PARENTS, IN THE
AIRLINE BUSINESS.
HE WAS IN HONG KONG, CHINA
BEFORE I CAME HERE.
AS SOON AS THIS HAPPENED, I WAS
LIKE, MOM, DID I GET A HEP -- I
THINK SO.
IF I DON'T KNOW CAN I GO GET ONE
IF I GOT ONE?
IT'S STILL OKAY?
YEAH.
THERE ARE TWO VACCINES.
BOTH ARE TWO-DOSE PROCESS.
YOU'VE GOT TO GET THE SECOND
DOSE TO HAVE FULL EF FASI.
THE SECOND DOSE IS TYPICALLY
GIVEN SIX TO 12 MONTHS GIVEN
AFTER THE FIRST.
YOU'VE GOT TO FOLLOW UP.
TAIZO: THERE'S A COMMITMENT
TO IT.
AND SPEAKING OF COMMITMENT, I
LOVE YOU GUYS.
CASCASTLE IS COMMITTED.
WE HEARD YOU WERE PROACTIVE.
YOU GAVE US INFORMATION BUT ALSO
FOR YOU GUYS, YOUR EMPLOYEES,
YOU'RE PROACTIVE IN THIS WHOLE
CASE, RIGHT?
YEAH.
WE HEARD THE NEED OF THE
COMMUNITY AND OUR EMPLOYEES, AND
WE WANTED TO HELP ADMINISTER THE
VACCINE.
WE FOUND A COMMON SPOT IN THE
HOSPITAL WHERE OUR EMPLOYEES
COULD COME DIRGE DURING BREAK TIME.
WE WERE ABLE TO ADMINISTER 400
VACCINE IN ONE WEEK.
MANY OF OUR EMPLOYEES ALREADY
HAD VACCINATION FROM HISTORY OF
TAIZO: WHAT WAS THE RESPONSE
LIKE FROM YOUR EMPLOYEES TO HAVE
RIGHT THEN AND THERE YOU TAKING
CARE OF THEM.
WHAT WAS THAT LIKE?
I GOT A LOT OF HUGS.
TAIZO: SPEAKING OF THIS, WE
GOT TO UNDERSTAND IF THERE'S A
BEST WAY, WE WANT TO PREVENT
FROM CONTRACTING HEP A.
IS THERE A BEST WAY TO GET THE
SHOT?
WHAT ARE THINGS WE SHOULD KEEP
IF MIND?
HAND HYGIENE IS IMPORTANT.
YOU SHOULD BE WASHING YOUR HANDS
BEFORE AND AFTER YOU BEAT. EAT.
AFTER
YOU GO TO THE BATHROOM.
VACCINE IS VERY EFFECTIVE.
IF YOU GOT THE VACCINE IN ITS
FULL DOSE, IT DOES PROVIDE --
TAIZO: IT'S FUNNY THAT YOU
MENTION HAND WASHING.
WE HEAR THAT.
MY SON'S LIKE, DAD, DID YOU WASH
YOUR HANDS?
IT MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE.
THERE'S A LOT OF -- YOU PICK IT
UP FROM AROUND.
AND IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE IF YOU
TOUCH YOUR EYES AND FAUSE.
FAUSE --
FACE.
SOAP AND WATERS ALWAYS GREAT.
YOU CAN USE THE HAND BASED GELS
IF THEY HAVE ALCOHOL 60% OR
GREATER.
A TAIZO: IN THE NEWS BUSINESS,
WHEN SOMETHING POPS OUT, WE RUN
AROUND AND REPORT.
YOU'RE THINKING AHEAD.
AND YOU HAVE VACCINATIONS, YOU
HAVE THE INFORMATION.
IF SOMEBODY HAS MORE QUESTIONS,
GO TO YOUR WEBSITE?
WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST THINGS TO
DO?
CDC HAS THE NUMBER ONE
INFORMATION FOR EVERYONE.
THAT'S A GOOD STARTING POINT.
YOU CAN REACH OUT TO YOUR
PROVIDER AS WELL.
