Hello! Welcome back to The Friday Sign Out - a newsletter for primary care physicians and advanced practice providers.

I don’t know about you, but it felt like a really long “short” week! We are starting to feel the effect of back to school germs in our clinic - lots of sick patients - colds, COVID, even a little flu. Guess it’s about that time.

Here’s what I’m reading and thinking about this week.

In the News

Our clinic got flu shots in this week. Patients are already lining up! Here’s a little refresher and update re: recommendations from the ACIP with changes specific to those with egg allergies.

ACIP updates flu vaccination recommendations

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) issued its annual update on flu vaccines, including a change in recommendations regarding vaccination of people with egg allergies.

In Your Practice

Not necessarily a practice tip per say, but this made me laugh. It’s a little nephrology humor and a nod to the complexities of our jobs.

In Your Heart

I’m loving James Clear’s newsletter this week. Simple words on the recipe for success that just makes it seem doable. It’s a little boost of motivation for the end of the week. Keep doing the good work!

"Enough courage to get started + enough sense to focus on something you’re naturally suited for + enough persistence to stay in the game long enough to catch a few lucky breaks + a lot of hard work. There’s your recipe."

Have a wonderful weekend!
