Meningitis Vaccine: Why You Should Get Vaccinated

Often times people hear the word "Meningitis", but never think that they will actually ever get the virus. Many don't even realize the harmful effects that Meningitis can actually cause. Kyra Winters has spoken out to the Chicago Tribune about her diagnosis of Meningitis and how her life has been forever changed because she never got the vaccine that could have prevented it. Kyla hopes that by sharing her story of what she has gone through, she can prevent others from getting Meningitis and encourage people to go and get vaccinated.

One night she began to have stiff neck pain, followed by Flu-like symptoms. She was admitted to the hospital and placed in the intensive care, and the next day her body turned on her. According to her doctor, "she had to be intubated, her blood pressure went to zero, she had to be put on enormous amounts of life-sustaining medications. Her liver failed, her kidneys failed, her heart failed, everything." Kyla ended up having to have a Liver transplant and having her legs under her knees amputated. She lives with pain each day. According to Kyla, "she hopes that sharing her story will help those who are healthy see more clearly what they risk when they forgo vaccination." Not all cases turn out as severe as Kyla's, but cases like her aren't rare either. Meningitis is preventable if you get vaccinated.

OMG, so e7 is one-of-a-kind in Vegas. My husband needed a TB Skin Test and I was able to book for the next hour. The staff actually answers the phone, right away. They are kind and nice. Upon arrival, at e7 Windmill location, the receptionist (who's name I do not have) was so kind, nice, and caring. She's a gem. During our brief wait for my husband's appointment, I witnessed the interaction between staff members and also, their clients. It's amazing that the entire, big e7 Team loves each other and what they do. You do not see this anywhere else. The team's interaction was magical. AND then how each staff member interacts with their patient, well... just unique. My husband had Alia, who definitely folded her Angel Wings in to fit in to the treatment room. What an amazing being. So patient, as my husband was on a walker and not so ambulatory. She explained all so clearly and easily. Truly, we have never experienced such CARE not just in Vegas, but anywhere. She also went above-and-beyond for us as to the next step. e7 scared me at first online, but now, they are my Go To and I have already recommended to many. God bless Alia and all. The Team truly LOVE what they do and it shows.
