(StatePoint)Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is a highly-contagious and vaccine-preventable disease that has made a startling comeback across the country. It is currently responsible for causing the worst epidemic the U.S. has seen in 50 years, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), including 13 deaths. “Immunization is still the best way to help prevent the spread of pertussis”, says Siobhan Dolan, MD, MPH, an obstetrician/gynecologist and medical advisor to March of Dimes. “It’s important for both children and adults to be up-todate with their pertussis immunization.” Researchers have found that immunity from childhood pertussis vaccinations wears off over time, so the pertussis shots that most adults received as children may no longer fully protect them. The adult Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis) booster vaccine is recommended for adults to help keep them healthy and help prevent them from spreading diseases to others, especially children. The CDC recently updated its immunization guidelines, which now state that all adults aged 19 years and older who have not yet received a dose of Tdap should receive a single dose. “Research has shown that when the source of a baby’s pertussis can be identified, it’s traced back to family members in up to 80 percent of cases,” Dr. Dolan explained. “So it’s imperative for parents to know that everyone around their baby -- parents, friends, caregivers, grandparents -- needs to have an adult Tdap booster vaccine.” According to a survey conducted online in May 2012 by Harris Interactive on behalf of the Sounds of Pertussis Campaign, a joint initiative from Sanofi Pasteur and March of Dimes, more than 4 out of 5 parents with children ages 2 and younger (83 percent) believe adult vacci-
Protect your family from rise in whooping cough cases nation is important to help protect against the spread of pertussis, but only 19 percent reported asking those in regular contact with their child to get a Tdap booster shot. “The reason is probably because most parents -- 61 percent -- said they would feel awkward asking those in close contact with their infants to get an adult Tdap booster shot, according to the survey,” said Dr. Dolan. “Parents want to do all they can to keep their babies healthy and to protect them from danger,” she added. “Speak to your
friends and family about getting a pertussis booster. That simple ‘ask’ will help protect them and your baby from this potentially fatal disease.” More information about pertussis and the Sounds of Pertussis Campaign can be found online at www.SoundsofPertussis.com. And remember, although whooping cough may be on the rise nationwide, there are simple steps you can take to help protect your family: get your booster shot now and encourage those around you to do the same.

the question: How does a dual closing work? And is that legal in North Carolina?
the answer: A dual closing or a flip closing is not illegal in North Carolina. One party purchases property from a seller and then immediately turns and transfers the property they just purchased to another buyer. This has to be done with care by a quality closing attorney that handles the documents and monies involved in both transactions carefully. However, people considering this type of transaction should do their homework ahead of time to make sure all steps of each transaction are possible. For instance, the end buyer or party that ultimately ends up with the property needs to make sure that their lender is willing to loan on this type of deal as some lenders and government agencies have rules or ìvesting requirementsî about how long a seller must have owned a property before they can sell it.

Giving? Choose a charity you can trust (StatePoint) The holiday season is when many express a giving spirit. Most will support charities whose work they see first-hand locally. But in mailboxes every day, there are appeals from many other local and national charities. How can donors verify their accuracy?
• Overly emotional fundraising letters saying little about the charity itself. • Appeals using excessive pressure to get an immediate on-the-spot donation decision. • Telemarketing solicitors who decline to
and truthfulness as a routine part of its charity reporting efforts. Charities are evaluated against 20 BBB Standards for Charity Accountability that address charity governance, finances and solicitation practices. A recent survey conducted by Porter Novelli’s ConsumerStyles found that nearly six in ten
A recent survey by Hope Consulting shows that despite information available from state government agencies, charity watchdogs and the organization itself, only 30 percent of donors do any research before making a donation. Experts advise potential donors to look more carefully at solicitation letters they receive and seek out third-party information sources. “While the vast majority of charities are trustworthy, not all are what they appear to be -- from the unscrupulous, to the well-meaning but poorly-run organizations,” warns H. Art Taylor, President and CEO of the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Wise Giving Alliance, which seeks to connect donors to charities they can trust. “If donors want to assure their money will be put to good use, they should spend a little bit of time getting to know more about the organization,” says Taylor. The first step is to take a good, hard look at the charity solicitation you receive in the mail or encounter online. Here are several examples of potential problems a donor may encounter in mail, online or by phone solicitations: • Appeals that don’t clearly explain what the charity intends to do about the problem it describes. • Envelopes or letters that mimic an invoice in order to get a recipient to open the mailing. • Solicitations that devote more attention to gifts or prizes (for example, sweepstakes offerings, address labels or greeting cards) than the charity’s good work.
send requested written materials about the charity’s programs and finances. “Scrutinizing a charity appeal is crucial, but you should never make a charitable giving decision based solely on the information in a solicitation,” says Taylor. However, it can be difficult for donors to know what to look for in a charity’s financial statement. This is where a monitoring organization can help. The BBB Wise Giving Alliance is the only major national charity monitoring organization that reviews appeal content for accuracy
say that the charity solicitation mail they receive is either not very or not at all trustworthy. So if there’s any doubt, do your research. Before donating, consider accessing a free report on the charity of your choice at www.give.org. And if your charity isn’t listed, you can ask the BBB Wise Giving Alliance to consider a review of that charity. ‘Tis the season to give back. Ensure your charitable dollars support organizations that don’t use dodgy fundraising tactics.
