Department of Health

I saw a health alert from the state of Missouri that immediately question myself to make sure I was up-to-date on my shots. It's an official advisory about an ongoing highly-contagious outbreak that is spreading fast throughout Missouri.

There is an urgent alert about a rise of antibiotic-resistant infections in Missouri that can affect a victim's blood, urinary tract and lungs. The concern is that while cases are on the rise, there are few treatments that have proven effective.
