CDC.gov Features deliver actionable and timely health, safety and wellness messages. Here is a preview of the CDC.gov Health and Safety features of the week:
ADA Anniversary ~ July 26, 2010 was the 20th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which protects over 50 million Americans. Although many obstacles have been removed because of the ADA, people with disabilities still face barriers to good health.
Hurricanes and the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill ~ CDC and ATSDR responders are in close communication with other federal agencies and with state health departments, and will work together to recommend measures to protect the public's health.
Measles: Make Sure Your Child Is Fully Immunized ~ One of the best ways to protect children from measles and other vaccine-preventable diseases is to vaccinate them on time. Check your child's medical records to see if he or she is up to date on vaccinations.
Prevent Infections During Pregnancy ~ Ten simple steps can help keep your unborn baby safe.
Protect Your Family From Rabies ~ Rabies is a dangerous virus that anyone can get if they handle or get bitten by an animal that has the disease. Protect yourself and your family from rabies: Stay away from wild animals and be sure pets are vaccinated every year.
CDC.gov feature articles are written by subject matter experts and health communicators, then edited to emphasize strong call-to-action messages and friendly, meaningful visuals. While most features are topic- or event-driven, some capture the full scope of CDC's work on cross-cutting topics such as staying healthy and safe over the holidays, sending kids back to school, or CDC's global programs and outreach. CDC Features may be syndicated to other Web sites at no cost. Learn more about Content Syndication.
