Courtney Williams+FollowCanada’s Measles Surge: What’s Going On?Canada has racked up three times more measles cases than the U.S. this year—over 4,200! Ontario and Alberta are the hardest hit. Meanwhile, Texas leads U.S. states with 700+ cases. The drama? Health officials are under fire for their vaccine messaging, but even vaccine-skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is now backing the MMR shot as the best way to stop the spread. Wild times for public health! #Health #BodyHealth #measles10Share
aguilarallison+FollowWait, Measles in the Fully Vaxxed?Wild stat: At least 3% of this year’s measles cases hit people who got both doses of the vaccine. Most cases are still in the unvaxxed, but a few fully vaccinated folks (especially kids) in Texas and Colorado caught it too—mainly after travel. No hospitalizations so far for the double-dosed, but the CDC says we could see the most cases since the '90s. If you’re traveling, double-check your vaccine status! #Measles #Vaccine #CDC #Health #BodyHealth2561Share
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
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
aguilarallison+FollowWhooping Cough Is Back—Here’s WhyWhooping cough cases have doubled this year, and measles is still making the rounds. Both are totally preventable with vaccines, but vaccine hesitancy and waning immunity are making things worse. The wild part? Most cases are hitting babies, and the cough can last for weeks. If you’ve got a cough that won’t quit, get checked—and make sure your shots are up to date! #WhoopingCough #Measles #VaccinesWork #PublicHealth #StayHealthy #Health100Share
Stephanie Snow+FollowAre We Headed for a Measles Comeback?Just read that falling vaccine rates could mean millions of preventable infections in the next 25 years—measles is first in line to make a comeback. Even a small drop in vaccination is enough to create new hotspots, and some states have seen rates fall by 10%! If we keep slipping, the US could see outbreaks of measles, polio, and more. Wild to think a few percentage points make such a huge difference! #VaccinesWork #PublicHealth #Measles #PreventableDiseases #HealthNews #Health259Share
Chris Lyons+FollowWhy I’m Doubling Down on MMR ShotsSeeing a jump in measles cases lately? Same here—and it’s got me checking my vaccine records. Doctors are warning that with MMR rates slipping, kids and immune-compromised folks are at real risk. Measles is crazy contagious, and experts say herd immunity only works if most of us get the shot. So, time to trust the pros and make those appointments! 💉 VaccinesWork #MMRVaccine #Measles #PublicHealth #BackToSchool #StayProtected #Health41Share
