  1. CVS keeps telling me I can get my flu vaccine now, at the same time I get my next Covid vax later this week. But I’ll wait until October, as recommended:

    The various medical groups stressed the need for patients of their members to receive flu, Covid, and RSV vaccines if recommended, and to get them at the appropriate time. Sarah Nosal, president of the American Academy of Family Physicians, noted, for instance, that because the effect of flu vaccination can wane over the course of the season, the best time to get an influenza shot would be in October, which is typically closer to the start of the season.

  3. #PSA From someone who's been through it: you do NOT want to get dengue; if you visit Florida, take precautions (see first link). Beware: the dengue vaccine isn't available in the U.S., only if you are traveling abroad. No, it doesn't make sense, especially because, as the world warms, we'll see more Aedes mosquitos in the mainland.

  4. Oof, I did not expect the pneumonia vaccine to hit so hard! I barely have any reaction to flu or Covid, and I'm just grateful that the shingles vaccine is disappearing in my rearview mirror.
    My arm is all red and swollen and painful and the rest of me feels pretty crappy. But, not as bad as real pneumonia.

  5. Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD on Bluesky: "Just in time for the 2026-2027 vaccines, a new review shows that COVID19 vaccination significantly reduces the risk of severe illness and hospitalization across all age groups, including kids.

    Pregnant women were also protected, as were their babies.

    Don’t forget to schedule your vaccination!"

  6. Got a text from CVS recently that informs me the new Covid-19 vaccine will be available soon. Which makes me wonder:

  23. The disease was declared eliminated in the #US in 2000, but more cases have been recorded in the past year & a half than there have been in the previous 25 years combined. Experts expect the US will lose its elimination status, or the recognition by the WHO that #measles is no longer transmitting regularly within a country.
