County program delivers vaccines to underserved
Clinical trials show a new hair loss breakthrough can both help men and women naturally regrow a thick, full head of hair – without drugs, surgery, or side effects
“A lot of this work we’re doing in these communities are working with the leaders, whether that’s faith-based leaders or individuals who are well known in those communities.”
Marcy Flanagan
Director of the Maricopa County Department of Public Health
The Maricopa County Department of Public Health in partnership with University of Arizona’s Mobile Health Units delivered COVID-19 vaccines to underserved community members at the Fillmore Gardens in downtown Phoenix on Tuesday.
Residents trickled down to get vaccinated under canopies set up in the courtyard of Fillmore Gardens, which is subsidized housing run by the city for people 62 or older and people with disabilities.
Resident Santeyan Margarito, 64, said he became aware of the program after seeing a note on the Fillmore Gardens community board. He said he had trouble signing up for the vaccine before at other locations that required online applications, but had better luck applying to this program with the help of a social worker.
“Everything has turned out good,” Margarito said. “I’ll feel more comfortable, you know what I mean. I don’t know if I have it, but I would hate to have something and give it to somebody.”
Maricopa County Department of Public Health Director Marcy Flanagan explained that this partnership was born out of a need to expand vaccinations to communities that have been underserved by previous vaccination methods.
These previous methods have created a gap in vaccinations that centered around race and ZIP codes.
According to Dr. Rebecca Sunenshine, the department’s medical director for disease control, the program has been tracking vaccine delivery and has made available an interactive map to check the vaccine delivery per ZIP code. This map helps them identify ZIP codes that have been underserved.
The department said it has completed more than 40 similar events, delivering more than 40,000 doses of vaccine from Wickenburg to Guadalupe to Gilbert.
Program works with community liaisons to connect with people
“A lot of this work we’re doing in these communities are working with the leaders, whether that’s faith-based leaders or individuals who are well known in those communities,” Flanagan said. Together, they work on the best ways to get vaccines to individuals.
These community liaisons do more than help identify areas in need — they also go out and provide transportation, make signs and educate those in the community about the COVID-19 vaccines, said Flanagan.
According to University of Arizona Clinical Coordinator Jeffery Hanna, the program utilizes trust that has been built up by its Mobile Health Units, which have been working to bring health services to underserved communities since 2016.
Community members “were more receptive because it was our team, it was the same faces that they’ve seen before, to basically be the ones to say, ‘Here’s this vaccine’ ... it’s not just ‘Here’s this vaccine,’ it’s ‘Here’s this vaccine and let’s provide you education about why you’re taking it.’ Why you’re taking it is not just to protect yourself but to protect your family, to protect your community, which is really important,” Hanna said.
Single-dose vaccine will be used for people who struggle to get to site
According to Flanagan, the data provided by the Arizona Department of Health Services helped in the state’s decision to move to a hybrid vaccination approach: both vaccinating members of the public who are 55 and older in addition to essential workers.
“We are continuing to target those front-line essential workers at the county level with the vaccine we receive, and then statewide they are going with the age-based approach,” said Flanagan.
The new age-based approach was built on data that shows that 80% of individuals with chronic health conditions are 45 and older, said Flanagan. “Going by age, we were able to really capture those at highest risk for hospitalization and death.”
And the targeted age brackets will continue to move down in age as they reach a 55% vaccination rate of the current targeted populations, Flanagan added. Once 55% of the 55- to 64-year-old age group is vaccinated, the next group up will be those who are 45 to 54.
The newly approved Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which only requires one dose, will be used to vaccinate people who have a hard time reaching a vaccination site, according to Sunenshine.
“We are using it to get to those essential workers where logistically it’s going to be challenging to get to them twice and in other situations where people might be more transient,” she said.
For anyone concerned with which vaccine to take, Sunenshine advises that “whatever vaccine is available to you is the best vaccine for you,” adding that “the one thing all of the trials agree on with all three vaccines is that they are 100% effective in preventing hospitalization and death.”
Thousands are rushing to get a new hair restoration method based on surprising new studies from the University of California.
It is the world’s first and only hair loss solution that revives dead hair follicles. And studies confirm it helps men and women regrow a thick, full head of hair, even after years of balding.
Now, with news of this breakthrough spreading like wildfire — the manufacturers are struggling to keep up with overwhelming demand.
That’s because, unlike other methods, it is prescription-free, drug-free, and has no side effects. And while hair transplants can cost $4,000 or more, this new approach costs pennies on the dollar and doesn’t involve going to the doctor’s office.
Instead, it leverages cutting-edge technology to prevent hair loss, fill-in embarrassing bald spots, and renourish thinning hair — with results you can see and feel in 30 days or less.
As Jeanne F. from San Diego, CA reports: “When my husband began to use this product, all he had on top of his head was fuzz. His hair began to grow after 30 days and now it is about 2 to 3 inches long!”
Surprising Truth About Hair Loss
It is commonly believed that hair loss is hereditary.
Unfortunately, most people think there is nothing they can do to stop it. However, while many doctors will tell you that thinning hair, a receding hairline, and bald spots are due to your genetics, this is not the whole story.
“While genetics play a role, it’s not the main reason you lose hair,” says Dr. Al Sears, the nation’s top anti-aging doctor. “And surprisingly it’s not just your age, thyroid, hormones, stress, or a vitamin deficiency, either.”
The latest scientific research reveals that hair loss is primarily caused by the stem cells in your hair follicles dying.
“This discovery is a true breakthrough because by reviving these stem cells on your scalp, you can stop hair loss dead in its tracks and trigger new hair growth, even in areas that have been thinning for years,” explains Dr. Sears.
Now, at his world-famous clinic, the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine in Palm Beach, Florida, Dr. Sears and his team have used this game-changing discovery to develop a brand-new hair restoration formula that is taking the country by storm.
Sold under the name Re-Nourish, it is flying off the shelves with men and women of all ages raving about the results it delivers.
“I have seen a significant improvement in hair growth. Previously, you could see thinning areas at the back of my head and now hair has grown
over it,” says Peter W. from Ontario, Canada.
And Susan D. from Fort Pierce, Florida reports, “My hair was thinning. So, I began to use Re-Nourish every day on the front part of my scalp. Now I have thicker hair.”
, is America’s leading anti-aging expert. He’s authored more than 500 scientific papers, and his discoveries have appeared on more than 50 media outlets including, ABC News, CNN, ESPN, Discovery Channel, National Geographic, Lifetime, and many more.
Regrows Hair In
Just 30 Days
Scientists now know that stem cells are the lifeblood of your hair follicles.
Research from the University of California shows they’re the reason you’re able to grow hair. However, these stem cells aren’t always active. In fact, studies reveal they’re only active during certain phases of the hair growth cycle.
“Your hair grows in three phases,” explains Dr. Sears. “First, you have the anagen phase, the hair growing phase. Then the catagen phase, when hair gets ready to shed. And finally, the telogen phase, where your hair is pushed from the follicle and falls out.”
As you get older it becomes harder for your hair follicles to complete this three-phase cycle. The results? Your hairs get stuck in the telogen phase. This is when they start falling out and stop regrowing, no matter what you try.
This process doesn’t happen overnight, says Dr. Sears.
“At first, your hair dries out, becoming brittle, thin, and harder to style. Then, you start finding hairs on your pillow and down the drain. Finally, you’re left with bald spots that age you prematurely.”
Fortunately, Re-Nourish puts a stop to this. It revives the dead stem cells in your hair follicles and reactivates your hair’s three-phase cycle, triggering new growth in as little as 30 days — even in areas that’ve been balding for years.
Reawakens Dead
Hair Follicles
For years, scientists couldn’t figure out why hair follicle stem cells died.
However, a study from the University of California finally found the answer.,
It has to do with T-cells — an important immune cell in your body. The
researchers discovered these T-cells are the only way to command hair follicles to grow new hair.
More importantly, they showed that T-cells helped revive the stem cells in your hair follicles — spurring new growth, filling in bald spots and natural hairline.
Re-Nourish uses a unique blend of all-natural ingredients. By spraying it on your hair once per day, scientific studies show you can revive dead stem cells and improve the appearance of thicker, fuller hair.
For example, the key nutrient of Re-Nourish was tested on a group of severely balding women.
After 6 months, nearly 70% of the women saw significant improvement in hair growth. Their hair was noticeably fuller, thicker, and healthier looking. Most exciting of all, they grew new hair on parts of their scalp that had been bald for years.
In another study, Italian researchers gathered a group of both men and women with thinning hair and applied the core ingredient of Re-Nourish. After 12 weeks, they reported a staggering 74% increase in hair growth.
“It’s really mind-boggling that my hair started growing back,” says Zan R., another Re-Nourish customer.
With results like this, it’s no surprise that demand for Re-Nourish is soaring. Thousands of men and women are scrambling to get their hands on the limited-supply available.
Re-Nourish is not currently available in any store at any price. But we’ve secured a small batch for our readers.
