Shingles Vaccine

In the United States, it is now recommended that all children between 18 months and adolescence take varicella vaccine so that they are protected against chicken pox. People who are vaccinated against chicken pox are less likely to get shingles because a weak attenuated strain of virus in the chicken pox vaccine is less likely to survive in the body over the years.

Bronchitis Symptoms

Bronchitis is a respiratory infection. It is the bronchi that are responsible for passing the air from the trachea or wind pipe to the lungs. An individual is said to be suffering from bronchitis when the bronchi experience inflammation resulting in shortness of breath, cough and chest tension. There is formation of yellow or green mucus along with persistent cough.
