    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.

  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!"
