  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:

    Are you getting the latest Covid vaccine?

    #RFKJr personally asked to remove #Pennsylvania #measles deaths from #CDC tally, sources say

    Kennedy’s request came after CDC staffers had already accepted the state’s characterization of the deaths as linked to measles, a Pennsylvania official said.

    Despite that, #EricaSchwartz, the recently appointed director of the CDC, agreed with Kennedy’s directive & implemented it WITHOUT OBJECTION, said the 3 sources….

  17. #RFKJr, then a prominent #AntiVax activist, preceded the visit with a letter to the Samoan prime minister requesting to study the Pacific island nation’s #measles, #mumps & #rubella [ #MMR ] #vaccines after the deaths of 2 children who had received them. In the letter, he used the words vaccine or vaccination 8 times.

    Yes!

    True story: I’m now 74. About 40+ years ago, when I was much younger and stronger, the for-real flu literally almost killed me. Fever through the roof. Unconscious 23 hours out of 24. For days!
    Thank god someone took good care of me!

    No-one has to go thru that!

    Every year since then I’ve been scheduled for and gotten appropriate flu, pneumonia, measles, mumps, rubella, shingles, COVID and many other vaccines, and all with no ill effects other than an occasional sore shoulder that quickly goes away. Totally worth it.

    Yes! It’s been scientifically proven: Vaccines save lives!

    And yours could be one of them.

    Don’t believe the propaganda against vaccines.

    I’m living proof they work!

  19. theguardian.com/commentisfree/. This is utterly irresponsible, & will kill #American #children. Donald #Trump is NOT an #expert on #vaccines, he is NOT a #doctor, & yet he presumes to issue an Executive Order advising States to offer #parents separate vaccines for measles, mumps & rubella, instead of the combined #MMR #vaccine, when the separate vaccines aren't even available.

  20. Messenger RNA, or #mRNA, is a single-stranded molecule that delivers genetic information to direct the formation of proteins. Before it was used in #vaccines against #Covid19, mRNA was stirring excitement among #cancer researchers.

    However, the technology has faced backlash in the wake of the pandemic, with some [ #ConspiracyTheories ] questioning the safety of mRNA.
