That could help so many who worry about catching RSV, which can get pretty serious. Plus, they’re still figuring out the best timing for boosters and looking at more data. Would you get the shot if recommended? Let’s talk! #RSV #HealthUpdate #Vaccines #CDC #StayHealthy #Health60Share
Spencer Brewer+FollowWill New Vaccine Recommendations Roll Out?The CDC’s Advisory Committee is finally meeting to discuss new vaccine recommendations after a long delay. The stakes are high as timely guidance impacts everything from insurance coverage to public health. They’re considering lowering the RSV risk age to 50+, which could save lives and cut healthcare costs by providing earlier protection. But concerningly, flu vaccine votes were removed from the agenda. Let’s hope the committee tackles these critical decisions soon. Delays could mean the difference between widespread protection and leaving high-risk groups vulnerable. #HealthMatters #Vaccines #PublicHealth #CDC #Health60Share
