Summer Camps, Come See Us for Ice Cream

Han Su on June 12, 2019

For three years in a row, we have had the pleasure of hosting the kids from Primrose School of Chapel Hill at Briar Chapel Summer Camp for ice cream every Friday at 501 Pharmacy. It is always so much fun to have them come by and we love working with the summer camp to provide a fun field trip for their participants.

If you are looking for something to do this summer, we would love for you to bring your school or group by to enjoy ice cream from our local creamery partner, Maple View Farms, in Hillsborough, NC! Our flavors are on rotation, in conjunction with Maple View Farm’s seasonal selection so there is always something new to try! Check out all the flavors we currently have and come see us soon to cool off this summer!

About Maple View Farm

In January 2001, Maple View Ice Cream opened its doors on New Year’s Day. To this day, those doors remain open! The idea for making delicious homemade ice cream came from Robert Nutter, the founder of Maple View Farm, and his daughter, Muffin Nutter Brosig. With the success of bottling fresh Maple View Farm milk, Muffin and her father decided that the community would appreciate and enjoy fresh local ice cream. After going to ice cream school at Penn State, their dream became a reality. Muffin and her father believed that premium ice cream must be hand-crafted in smaller batches and made with the freshest cream and highest quality ingredients available. They decided to use as many local ingredients as possible, local berries, North Carolina pecans, Orange County honey and cream from the cows grazing in the pastures of Maple View Farm. Their delicious Maple View Ice Cream is true cow to cone. Learn more at MapleViewFarm.com.

Business Owners, Schedule Flu Shots for Your Employees

Han Su on May 3, 2019

It is never to early to start thinking about next flu season. Keep your employees healthy by scheduling a time for Han to come to your local business to administer flu shots to your employees!

Why Should You and Your Employees Get the Flu Shot?

Influenza or the flu is a very serious disease that can lead to hospitalization or even death. Every flu season is unique and the flu affects everyone differently. Even a person who is very healthy can get sick from the flu or a flu-related illness and spread it to others.

Getting the flu shot is not just about protecting yourself, it also helps the community. When you get the flu shot, you are helping to keep higher-risk seniors and young children, who may not be able to get the vaccine, safe.

Why Offer Flu Shots for Your Employees?

Show your employees that you care about their health by offering them the flu shot at work. Employees who might not think about getting a flu shot may be more apt to do so if it is free and on site. This requires them to do very little and you will have a better chance of keeping your employees at work during flu season. The more employees that have the flu shot, the better your chances are at keeping the flu out of your building.

Who Should Get the Flu Shot?

Everyone who is six months or older should get the flu vaccine every season. These flu shots are also approved for use in pregnant women and people with chronic health conditions.

The only people who should not get a flu shot are those that are younger than six months of age or who have life-threatening allergies to the flu vaccine or any ingredient that is in the vaccine. If you have an allergy to eggs or any of the ingredients in the vaccine, you should talk to your doctor about your allergy before getting the flu shot. If you are not feeling well, you should talk to your doctor about your symptoms before you get the flu shot or wait until you are feeling better.

When Should You Schedule Flu Shots for Your Employees?

You should offer the flu vaccine before the flu begins spreading in your community. Flu season in North Carolina begins in October. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for the antibodies to develop in the body that protects against the flu.
