"Instead, experts from within the FDA, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the US Department of Defense gathered Thursday to go over surveillance data from the US and around the world about flu viruses that are currently circulating.

The FDA is recommending that flu vaccines for the 2025-26 season be trivalent, protecting against two strains of influenza A and one of influenza B."

Saturday 06:08
Last night I Tooted / Posted that I had Shingles and Influenza shots that morning, and felt woozy.
Managed to sleep overnight in only 3 stages (thank you water pill), and woke up at 05:57.
I had originally set my alarm for 05:00 to be at the church building at 06:00 for my hour of prayer. Obviously that's not happening, but I shall set aside time today to pray.
Other than running 2 weeks worth of laundry, the only other work I plan for today is for MissionAssist.
Otherwise I am totally resting up all day.
Take care of yourselves y'all.

Revising US MMR Vaccine Recommendations Amid Changing Domestic Risks

"...The committee outlines a few special cases for the administration of a third lifetime dose, including during an ongoing measles or mumps outbreak and among high-risk groups (eg, health care workers and immunocompromised individuals). Additionally, for children aged 6 to 11 months scheduled to travel internationally, the committee recommends an additional early dose (ie, a third dose) of the MMR vaccine before travel, administered before initiating their routine 2-dose series at age 12 months. Historically, disease importations from unvaccinated children traveling internationally to endemic regions has been the major source of US measles cases. However, multiple recent US measles outbreaks, coupled with low vaccination rates, signal a growing domestic hazard..."

I get confused about extra infections diseases and I am very grateful to epidemiologists, or doctors who are interested in epidemiology who can explain multiple ways of how, for example measles vaccine works, who needs them and more interesting information if I want more. Here's a very helpful post by Dr Katelyn Jetelina, Your Local Epidemiologist about MMR, boosters, etc.

From the video description: "Can cats get bird flu? Is there cure for measles? How many measles cases in the U.S.? Is the new COVID vaccine effective? Why are cancer screenings declining?

"AMA's Vice President of Science, Medicine and Public Health, Andrea Garcia, JD, MPH, discusses post-pandemic cancer screening rates, latest updates on the measles outbreak, bird flu in cattle, H5N1 in pets, and the effectiveness of the COVID vaccine. American Medical Association CXO Todd Unger hosts."

From the article: "The measles outbreak in Texas has risen by 36 cases, pushing the US case count for the year past the number for all of 2024.

"The outbreak of the highly contagious virus, which began in late January and is centered in the western part of the state, now stands at 259 cases, according to the latest update from the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS). Of those patients, 257 are either unvaccinated or have unknown vaccination status, and 201 are children ages 17 or younger. Thirty-four patients have been hospitalized, with one death in an unvaccinated child who had no known underlying conditions."

From the article: "Measles outbreaks in West Texas and New Mexico are now up to nearly 300 cases, and two unvaccinated people have died from measles-related causes.

"Measles is caused by a highly contagious virus that’s airborne and spreads easily when an infected person breathes, sneezes or coughs. It is preventable through vaccines, and has been considered eliminated from the U.S. since 2000.

"As of Friday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said its count of confirmed measles cases in the U.S. surpassed 2024. Here’s what else you need to know about measles in the U.S."

Just went and got another TdaP vaccination, even though my last one was only five years ago and the current recommendation is to get one every ten years.

My reasoning:
- Who knows what vaccination availability will look like in five years.
- Regarding pertussis: "Researchers ... were able to figure out that in the first year after TdaP, its effectiveness is about 70%. By four years out, that protection is less than 10%."

Thanks to @deirdresm for alerting me to the waning pertussis immunity.

Took a couple stickers from CVS while I was at it, although it didn't take any bravery to get this vaccination.

How about some promising Covid-vaccine-related news? It's all early on, but it's still nice to see — and maybe buried amidst all the other news.

"He asked three local churches if he could set up a mobile testing site on their property. They all refused...His team did create a drive-up testing site at a county events building next to the city park, and not far from the Masonic lodge. But he said that it gets very few visitors—about two or three a day. As a result, no one really knows the outbreak’s total size."
