HOUSE Calls: Questions answered about Tdap vaccine, cholesterol

Posted on June 14, 2011 by Lynn Eades

Read questions and answers about the Tdap vaccine and cholesterol in The Carrboro Citizen – June 2, 2011

My daughter had a baby last week and she had to have a Tdap vaccine. I’m going to be visiting. What is a Tdap vaccine and do I need one?

Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis Vaccines (Tdap)

I just moved here from Atlanta and had a physical with lab work from my new doctor. He just gave me a sheet with a bunch of numbers and not much explanation. It says my HDL is 37, and that that’s low, and that my LDL is 102, and that that’s normal. So is this good? What is the good and bad cholesterol? I am used to a little more explanation.

Cholesterol
