Melanie James+FollowCDC’s Big Measles Travel UpdateHeads up, globe-trotters: the CDC just changed the game on measles shots. Now, it doesn’t matter where you’re headed—everyone traveling internationally should be vaccinated, not just those going to outbreak hotspots. This comes after a recent outbreak linked to a flight into Denver. Basically, measles can hitch a ride anywhere, even on the plane! If you’re planning a trip, double-check your vaccine status (and your kids’). Better safe than sorry! #TravelTips #Measles #CDCUpdate #Health30Share
William Vasquez+FollowMeasles Warning for Travelers 🚨Did you know measles is making a comeback, and airports are a hotspot? The CDC just updated their travel warning after dozens of people caught measles while flying this year. They’re now saying the risk is everywhere—planes, airports, tourist spots, you name it. If you’re planning a trip, make sure you’re fully vaccinated or consider postponing. Measles spreads fast, and cases are popping up in the US, Mexico, and Canada. Stay safe and double-check your vax status before you jet! #MeaslesAlert #TravelSafe #CDCUpdate #Health31Share
Allison Bauer+FollowCDC’s Surprising Chikungunya WarningThe CDC just dropped a bomb: if you’re 60 or older, skip the new chikungunya vaccine for now. Turns out, a handful of older folks had some scary heart and brain symptoms after getting the shot. Chikungunya is that mosquito-borne virus causing nasty joint pain, mostly in tropical spots like Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean. If you’re traveling, maybe rethink those destinations—or at least pack serious bug spray! #CDCUpdate #TravelHealth #Chikungunya #VaccineNews #Over60 #Health230Share
Joel Sweeney+FollowMeasles Cases Are Spiking—Here’s WhyDid you hear? Measles cases just hit over 1,000 across 31 states, and most are tied to outbreaks! The CDC says this is way more than last year, and it’s mostly happening in places with low vaccination rates. Meanwhile, there’s a lot of mixed messaging about the vaccine from officials, which isn’t helping. Health experts are stressing: measles is super contagious, and skipping vaccines is making things worse. Wild times for public health! #MeaslesOutbreak #VaccinesWork #PublicHealth #CDCUpdate #Health1112Share
