rmartinFollowingModerna’s RSV Shot Faces CDC DramaModerna just got the green light for its RSV vaccine in younger at-risk adults, but now there’s drama: a new CDC panel (with some anti-vax vibes) might not back it. Their shares dropped, and everyone’s wondering if this new group will actually recommend the shot. Meanwhile, rival vaccine makers are feeling the heat too. Big pharma plot twist, anyone? #Moderna #RSVvaccine #CDC #Health #BodyHealth100Share
Joel Sweeney+FollowCDC Vaccine Boss Steps Down Amid ShakeupBig shakeup at the CDC: the official leading Covid-19 vaccine recommendations just resigned right as the government pulled its advice for healthy kids and pregnant women to get the shot. This move goes against medical evidence, especially for pregnant women, and could make getting Covid vaccines trickier and pricier for those who still want them. The drama behind the scenes is wild—what do you think about these changes? #CDC #Covid19 #Vaccines #Health101Share
Joel Sweeney+FollowNorovirus Season Might Start Early Again?!Anyone else notice stomach bugs hitting earlier last year? Turns out, a new norovirus strain (GII.17) crashed the party and may have messed with the usual outbreak schedule. Normally, norovirus season kicks off in December, but last year it started in October! Now, the CDC is watching closely to see if this new strain will keep things unpredictable. Basically, we might need to brace for an early wave again—stay tuned (and maybe stock up on hand sanitizer). #Norovirus #HealthNews #CDC #Health00Share
Kevin Rodriguez+FollowNorovirus Season Might Start Early Again?!Norovirus usually waits till December to crash the party, but last year it showed up in October thanks to a new strain (GII.17) and caused a record wave of stomach bugs. Now, the CDC is keeping a close eye to see if this early surge will happen again. With GII.17 still dominating most outbreaks, experts aren’t sure if we’re in for another early season or if things will go back to normal. Stay tuned and maybe stock up on hand sanitizer! #Norovirus #CDC #HealthNews #Health02Share
Melanie James+FollowTraveling Soon? Measles Alert!Measles cases are popping up everywhere, and the CDC just updated its travel warning. If you’re planning a trip abroad, make sure you’re fully vaxxed (yep, even the kiddos!). Measles spreads super easily—think airports, trains, big events—so don’t risk bringing it home. If you’re not sure about your immunity, check with your doc ASAP. Seriously, nobody wants their vacation souvenir to be a virus! #TravelAlert #Measles #CDC #Health20Share
Charles Coleman+FollowMeasles on Planes? CDC Issues New WarningThe CDC just ramped up its measles travel warning after dozens of contagious travelers flew within the U.S. this year. Airports, planes, tourist spots—basically anywhere crowded is fair game for catching measles right now. The agency says measles is a global risk, and cases are rising again in the U.S. If you’re not vaccinated, the CDC now suggests you might want to postpone your trip. Wild, right? Stay safe and double-check your vax status before you book that flight! #MeaslesAlert #TravelSafe #CDC #Spirituality334Share
Melanie James+FollowCDC Drops COVID Shots for Kids & Pregnant WomenBig shakeup: COVID vaccines are no longer on the CDC’s recommended list for healthy kids and pregnant women. RFK Jr. announced it, saying it’s a win for “common sense and good science.” But not everyone’s cheering—doctors are worried this will confuse parents and limit access, especially since COVID can still be risky for some kids and pregnant people. Insurance might not cover the shots anymore, either. What do you think—smart move or risky business? #COVID19 #Vaccines #CDC #Health507Share
Kevin Craig+FollowDengue Fever Surge: Are We Ready?Dengue fever cases are spiking big time in the US—up 84% in just a year! Experts say hotter temps and more flooding are letting mosquitoes thrive, but here’s the kicker: major budget cuts just hit the CDC and NIH, slashing crucial research and response teams. With no treatment for dengue, prevention is everything, but with less funding, are we really prepared if this outbreak gets worse? #DengueFever #HealthAlert #ClimateChange #CDC #NIH #Health01Share
Joel Sweeney+FollowWhy Did Bird Flu Cases Suddenly Drop?Bird flu cases in the US have mysteriously plummeted, and no one’s sure why. Experts are tossing around theories: maybe it’s just a seasonal dip, maybe fewer people are getting tested (especially farm workers worried about immigration), or maybe government cuts are making it harder to track. Animal cases are down too, but some scientists think mild human cases are flying under the radar. The CDC says risk is low for most of us, but the mystery is far from solved! #BirdFlu #HealthNews #Mystery #FarmLife #CDC #Health4383Share
reyesbrian+FollowFDA 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 #Health00Share
