  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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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!"

  10. Congo is set to receive 70,000 Ebola vaccine doses as its largest recorded outbreak continues to spread.

    Latest figures:

    • 5,208 confirmed cases
    • 2,476 deaths
    • 6 provinces affected
    • 20,000 vaccine doses reserved for a Phase 3 trial
    • 50,000 doses intended for healthcare and frontline workers

    That is why part of the shipment will be used to test whether it can provide protection.

  11. To get confirmed, Overton will have to win approval from a narrowly Republican-led #Senate & face questions from the Senate #health committee. Its chair, #Republican Sen #BillCassidy, a physician from Louisiana, has been a vocal critic of some of #Trump’s actions to sow doubt in #vaccinations, including his recent order.

  12. Overton has been critical of #abortion pills &, if confirmed, would be positioned to roll back #FDA rules that made the pills more accessible. US abortion opponents have expressed frustration that the #Trump admin hasn’t moved to stem the flow of #AbortionMedication prescribed online, a situation they view as undermining state #AbortionBans.

  13. An #IntensiveCare doc looks at the #Trump order on #vaccines:
    "If the schedule is changed, the costs will be measured over time. Today in the form of more sick kids with #measles. Two decades out in the form of meningococcal #meningitis in a college freshman who wasn't 'high-risk' until the dorm outbreak. Three decades out in the form of congenital #rubella in the pregnancy of a woman whose split MMR doses were started but never finished. Forty years out in the child born in 2027 who never received the hepatitis B birth dose and reaches my #ICU around 2066 with a failing liver tied to a chronic infection acquired at birth."

  14. 💉 President Trump signed a new executive order calling for most children to receive fewer vaccines and made extensive comments linking childhood shots and autism—something scientists say is unfounded

  15. #Honeybees and #shrimp are now getting vaccinated
    #Vaccines that target #invertebrates’ innate #immunesystems could be a major boon for agriculture
    It has become increasingly clear that #innateimmunesystem has own way of creating immune memory. Scientists think this memory is achieved through #epigenetic changes, modifications to #DNA that don’t alter genetic sequence, and that these epigenetic changes can be passed from one generation to the next.

  17. @riley what gets my blood boiling is the fact that #HPV #vaccines ain't mandatory nor recommended for boys & inter* folks as well, since they can at the very leeast act as conductors and it's neither harmful nor has any side effects to vaccine them as well!
