Older Adults Are Winning at Vaccines

Turns out, our parents and grandparents are onto something—getting those vaccines is paying off big time. New research shows that vaccines like the shingles, RSV, and enhanced flu shots are seriously cutting hospital visits and even lowering dementia risk (yep, you read that right). Seniors are leading the charge, rolling up their sleeves and reaping the benefits. If you needed another reason to book that shot, this is it! #VaccinesWork #HealthyAging #ScienceWins #Health

Pregnant? COVID Shots Might Not Be Covered

Major health groups are calling out insurers for dropping coverage of COVID-19 shots for pregnant women, even though the science says the vaccine protects both moms and babies. With some states backing away from recommendations and insurance coverage, experts are worried more pregnant people will have to pay out of pocket—about $140 a shot! Meanwhile, doctors say skipping the vaccine could mean higher risks for moms and newborns. Would you pay extra for the shot, or take your chances? #COVID19 #PregnancyHealth #VaccinesWork #Health #BodyHealth

Why Vaccine Myths Won’t Go Away

Wild how vaccines have saved over a million lives and stopped half a billion illnesses, but thanks to viral misinformation, some parents are still on the fence. Pediatricians are battling daily against myths like 'vaccines cause autism' (they don’t!) and worries about overwhelming kids’ immune systems. The real kicker? Outbreaks are making a comeback in places with low vaccination rates. Herd immunity is no joke—let’s not wait for a crisis to remember why vaccines matter! #VaccinesWork #PublicHealth #StopTheSpread #ScienceMatters #Health

Germ Theory Drama: Old Myths Die Hard

Did you know people have been side-eyeing vaccines since the 1700s? Science historian Thomas Levenson’s new book spills the tea on how germ theory and vaccines faced haters from day one. From doctors refusing to wash their hands (yikes) to today’s anti-vax drama, it’s wild how old fears keep coming back. Plus, superbugs are on the rise and antibiotic resistance is the new villain. Are we repeating history or what? #HistoryRepeats #VaccinesWork #GermTheory #ScienceMatters #AntibioticResistance #Health

why herd immunity matters more than ever

I'm beyond frustrated! My immunocompromised child relies on herd immunity to stay safe, but ignorance is bringing back measles in our area. This disease was eradicated, yet here we are. Please, educate yourselves and vaccinate! #VaccinesWork #ProtectOurKids

Measles Outbreak Hits Newborns in Ontario

Six newborns in Ontario were born with measles after their moms weren’t vaccinated—thankfully, they all recovered, but one premature baby tragically didn’t make it. This outbreak is the biggest in the western hemisphere right now, and experts say it could’ve been avoided with routine vaccines. Ontario used to have measles under control, but now cases are skyrocketing. It’s a wild reminder of how fast things can change when vaccination rates drop. #MeaslesOutbreak #VaccinesWork #OntarioNews #Health

Measles Is Back at the Airport?!

Apparently, flying just got riskier—measles is making a comeback in U.S. airports, thanks to a drop in vaccinations. The CDC is warning travelers that you could catch this old-school disease while jet-setting, especially if you’re not up to date on your MMR shots. Over 1,100 cases have already popped up this year! If you’re traveling with babies or anyone with a weak immune system, double-check those vaccines. Who knew your summer vacay could come with a side of measles? #MeaslesAlert #TravelSafe #VaccinesWork #Spirituality

Texas Parents Rush for Measles Shots

Measles is back in Texas, and parents aren’t taking any chances. After a scary outbreak, vaccination rates for babies have exploded—some age groups saw a 30x jump compared to last year! Even parents who were on the fence are now lining up for shots, hoping to protect their kids. Experts say it’s a dramatic shift, all sparked by real fear and CDC alerts. Wild how fast things can change when an outbreak hits close to home! #MeaslesOutbreak #VaccinesWork #TexasNews #Parenting #PublicHealth #Health

Polio Outbreak Alert in Papua New Guinea

Polio’s back in Papua New Guinea for the first time since 2018—this time, it’s the vaccine-derived kind. WHO found the virus in two healthy kids, which is a big deal because it means the virus is circulating again. Only 44% of kids there get all their polio shots, so health teams are scrambling to boost vaccinations and stop the spread. Wild polio’s mostly gone, but these outbreaks remind us it’s not over yet! #PolioOutbreak #PapuaNewGuinea #WHO #VaccinesWork #PublicHealth #Health

COVID in 2025: What’s Actually Changed?

Remember when COVID ruled our lives? Fast forward to 2025 and it’s still around, but most people just get a mild cold-like bug. The main symptoms haven’t changed much—think fever, cough, sore throat, and sometimes that weird loss of smell (yep, still a thing with some new variants). If you’re high-risk, testing is still smart, and vaccines are your best friend for dodging the worst. Oh, and if you catch it, expect to feel rough for about a week or so. Stay safe, mask up if you’re sick, and keep those boosters coming! #COVID19 #HealthUpdate #VaccinesWork #StaySafe #Health
