FDA Pauses Chikungunya Vax for 60+

Big update on the new chikungunya vaccine: If you or someone you know is 60+, the FDA and CDC are telling folks to hit pause on getting the Ixchiq shot for now. This comes after two reported deaths and some serious side effects in older adults. They’re digging into the data to see what’s up, but for now, better safe than sorry! If you’re traveling somewhere with chikungunya, definitely check with your doc before making any moves. #HealthNews #VaccineUpdate #Chikungunya #FDA #CDC #Health
