So Clarence, you know, you're our community expert.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Sherlyn, you brought up, you brought up this idea of, um, of prevention and, um, Certainly in my career, I was always trying to balance the ideas of intervention, which is really in the medical realm. Intervention versus prevention, which is in the public health realm. And intervention, I always said, even when I was teaching about this, intervention is actually more sexy.

Really, in the sense of, oh, you can cure it? Wow. Okay. Now, then on the other side of the equation, prevention. Now, what the hell, what are you talking about here? You know, it's not as exciting as getting cured or getting your arm, a broken arm taken care of. You know, it's, you don't see the immediacy of it like you do with intervention.

And I think that that's part of what we're dealing with here. Then I'll say one more thing, and then I'm gonna let Sherilyn take it from here. You know, if any of you have a pet, like a dog, like everybody knows I have a dog, and without question, there's no question at all about getting a rabies vaccination. I mean, it's just like, you don't even think about it.

I mean, it's just like, you don't even think about it.

You take your dog in and he gets a rabies vaccination and they have to be licensed, okay? Your dog has to be licensed. So what is it? Why is it that we're more in tuned with our pets than we are perhaps with ourselves or our family members? Go ahead, Sherlyn. I mean, I know you're chomping at the bit here. I mean, I could tell.

Yeah, well, that's interesting, yeah.

Yeah, well, that's interesting, yeah.

Yeah. No kidding. Okay. You know, one thing I want to recommend to our listening audience, certainly in the state of Minnesota, I know that this is cropping up in other states as well. When you are vaccinated, this is everybody should know this. When you are vaccinated, the records of that go to your respective state health department. OK, and they keep records of your vaccinations.

So if you want, you can get an app for your phone. That's again in the state of Minnesota, but for other listeners around the country, check it in your state as well. It's called Docket, D-O-C-K-E-T. It's an app. And all you do is you put in your information and up will come your vaccination record and also what you are due for. And that's linked with your medical record.
