Beat the Rush and Plan Early for Back-to-School Immunizations and Physicals Many parents aren’t seriously thinking about back-to-school preparations quite yet. And while some activities – shopping for supplies, going to tryouts and orientation, arranging carpools – can wait until August, you might find yourself in a bind if you put off required vaccinations and physicals. Waiting until the last minute often results in long wait times and even shortages of certain state required vaccines. Beat the rush and plan early for your child’s back-to-school physical and immunizations. We asked RediClinic clinician, Nellie Cruz, PA-C, a few questions to prepare you for the upcoming school season. Is a back-to-school physical mandatory? Yes, for students participating in athletics or other extra-curricular activities. They are required to undergo a physical examination before school starts. For some sports and extra-curricular organizations – especially football and gridiron-adjacent activities like drill team, cheerleading and band – practice begins weeks before the first day of school and will require physicals even earlier. What occurs during a physical examination at RediClinic? A proper school physical should include both a medical history and a physical examination from head to toe to ensure early detection of any health-related issues and that your child is fit to participate. Are school immunizations required before the first day of school? Yes. Texas law requires a certain number of doses of mandated vaccines before the first day of school. Immunizations are the best protection against serious infectious diseases.
clinician and learn what’s new and required. Are immunizations required for students entering college as well? Yes. All college students under the age of 22 are required to receive the Meningococcal vaccine. While communal living can be a highlight of the college experience, it can also be an environment that enables the spread of dangerous illnesses, such as Bacterial Meningitis which is mainly spread from person-to-person through the exchange of respiratory and throat secretions. Since few children (and parents) do not want to spend precious summer days sitting around a waiting room, RediClinic provides a convenient alternative. Physical exams and a review and administration of immunizations, as well as acne consultation, are all provided in RediClinic’s Teen Health package, and are among just a few of the services offered at your nearby RediClinic. Wait times are short, the clinics in H-E-B grocery stores are convenient and the prices are affordable. RediClinic is open seven days a week with extended weekday and weekend hours. No appointments are necessary. RediClinic is located at four area H-E-B stores:
Stone Ridge at 20935 US HWY 281 | Alon Market at 8503 NW Military Hwy Blanco at 1150 N. Loop 1604 W. | Bulverde at 20725 Hwy. 46 West Learn more at RediClinic.com/Physical.
Does the state required immunizations change every year? Yes. The state health department issues new vaccine requirements every year. This is why we strongly urge parents to walkin to their local RediClinic to visit with a StoneOakInfo.com 5

FROST 321: Simply Fresh Perfectly Frozen
Inspired by a summer wedding in Paris, Reema Shroff, founder of Frost 321 decided to introduce San Antonio to the brilliant idea of liquid nitrogen frozen ice cream and cocktails. Their special freezing process coupled with their chef-developed recipes elevates each spoonful of their ice creams and sorbets to something intensely flavorful and creamy. And it’s free of preservatives and added fillers. “The reason we say Frost 321 is because -321° F is the temperature liquid nitrogen freezes. It is this super cold freezing process which creates a very creamy and smooth texture,” explains founder Reema Shroff.
them. Our Sundae bar is very popular at parties too as we offer a host of gourmet toppings to add to the ice cream,” adds Shroff.
Parties are their specialty. In less than 2 minutes, Frost 321 creates the smoothest, most delectable frozen creations in a mesmerizing cloud of mist, right before guests. A Mardi Gras themed dinner party? Imagine Hurricane-inspired frozen cocktails. A spring wedding? Then why not feature their signature frozen Bellini Bar made with seasonal fruits and flowers. A Monte Carlo themed benefit? Try their whiskey inspired ice cream.
Frost 321 will be sampling their delicious product at Showcase Stone Oak on August 20th from 11am -3pm. Stop by the Holy Trinity Banquet Hall in Stone Oak to experience this unique frozen treat for yourself. To book a home party, wedding or corporate event, contact them at 210-802-1321 or email them at events@frost321.com and be sure to visit them at www.Frost321.com to learn more.
Every event is customized to the host’s personal preference and theme. Pairings of alcohol, fruit juices, ice creams and other flavors are combined and refined by their trained chef to create each unique frozen treat. “Not everything freezes well, so we really spend many hours, behind the scenes in our commercial kitchen coming up with the right recipes that we can scale,” says Shroff.
“While many of our clients lean towards our frozen cocktails and “adult” ice cream martinis, we also do a lot of kid’s ice cream parties, where they can create their own flavors and see fresh ice cream being made in front of

For Food Allergies, It’s Better to be Safe than Sorry Food allergy is a very scary issue that can also be very confusing. If a patient truly is allergic to a food, strict avoidance and understanding that they have a life-threatening disorder is crucial. Keeping an epinephrine auto-injector available at all times and being prepared to use it just in case some of what a patient is allergic to accidentally makes its way into their food is very important. The most important element in food allergy diagnosis is the history. If symptoms upon exposure to a food are inconsistent with those that happen with food allergy, or aren’t happening each time a patient eats a particular food, then food allergy is unlikely. However, if a patient has hives, swelling, breathing trouble, or vomiting within minutes of eating a food, they should be evaluated for allergy. Skin and blood testing are both options for diagnosis. There are also patients who have eczema outbreaks due to certain foods, and while not imposing a life-threating risk, that food could cause a more serious reaction in the future and should be evaluated by a physician who specializes in food allergy. When it comes to food allergy, it’s always worthwhile to abide by the “better to be safe than sorry” rule.

ALLERGIES GET IN YOUR WAY!
HOME PRICES ON THE RISE IN STONE OAK! Great news for San Antonio homeowners! Sales prices for homes in our area continue to grow at a record pace. According to statistics from the San Antonio Board of Realtors®, the average price for homes sold in May 2014 was $225,114 -- up 4% from last year. At the same time, the average number of days it’s been taking to sell a home is just 65. That’s down a whole 13 days from last year! That’s fine for the greater San Antonio area, but what about our lovely neighborhood of Stone Oak? Looking at the same numbers, we’re doing just as well, if not better. Sales prices in Stone Oak are up about 6% since last year and the number of days on the market is 39, down 10 days from last year. That shows me there are a lot of people looking to buy in the Stone Oak area. Surprisingly, this hasn’t resulted in a shortage of available
inventory in the area. Compared to this time last year, the number homes listed for sale still is up 3%. I see this as people on the move in Stone Oak looking to downsize or upscale. If you’re in that same boat, now might be a great time to jump into the market. On the other hand, if you’re the one looking to buy, don’t kill yourself by trying to score a “steal” out there. When you find the home you love, make a solid offer or you might find yourself lost in love.
