Pharmacies facing angry patients over Covid jab confusion
Nick Triggle and Jim Reed, October 6, 2025
"Pharmacists in England say they are facing 'major issues' with large numbers of patients booking appointments for #Covid jabs only to find they are no longer eligible.
"The criteria have been tightened this year so that only those aged 75 and older are being offered free boosters, along with younger patients who have a weakened immune system.
"Between a third and a half of people who turn up for their appointment are having to be turned away at many sites, according to Community Pharmacy England (CPE), which represents more than 10,000 chemists including many major chains."

Update: #Novavax is available at Costco in Scarborough!
Still no Novavax #CovidVaccines in #Maine yet. Hopefully, some will arrive soon (not that I'm putting away my masks any time soon). And yeah, I unfortunately have a condition that contraindicates mRNA vaccines.

Several Northeastern States and America’s Largest City Announce the Northeast Public Health Collaborative
Voluntary Coalition includes #Connecticut, #Maine, #Massachusetts, #NewJersey, #NewYorkState, #Pennsylvania, #RhodeIsland and #NewYorkCity
Regional Partnership Brings Together Public Health Agencies and Leaders to Share Expertise, Improve Coordination, and Promote and Protect Evidence-Based Public Health
Work Groups Created to Identify Opportunities for Collaboration Including Public Health Emergency Preparedness, Vaccine Recommendations, Data Collection, Infectious Disease Management and Laboratory Services
September 18, 2025 — "Several Northeastern states and America’s largest city have been collaborating since early 2025 and today formally announced the Northeast Public Health Collaborative, a voluntary regional coalition of public health agencies and leaders, brought together to share expertise, improve coordination, enhance capacity, strengthen regional readiness, and promote and protect evidence-based public health.
"The Collaborative’s shared purpose is to work together in new ways – optimizing the use of shared resources, innovating and reimagining core services – to ensure trust in public health, respond to public health threats, advance community health and strengthen confidence in vaccines and science-based medicine. The group’s shared goal is to protect the health, safety and well-being of all residents by providing information based on science, data, and evidence, while working to ensure equitable access to vaccines, medications and services.
"The regional partnership, which was informally established several months ago, held its first in-person meeting in Rhode Island in August. The Collaborative has already formed interjurisdictional working groups to identify opportunities for collaboration and shared planning across multiple public health disciplines including public health emergency preparedness and response, vaccine recommendations and purchasing, data collection and analysis, infectious disease, epidemiology and laboratory capacity and services.
"Members of the Collaborative worked together on science-based guidance for health care personnel (HCP) advising on precautions health care workers should take to protect themselves and patients during respiratory virus season. Other examples of collaborative efforts include sharing information on public health emergency preparedness related to three FIFA (International Federation of Association Football) World Cup host cities within the collaborative, exploring workforce pipeline activities given the understaffing in public health and coordinating state lab related activities and services."

New #Trump #vaccine policy limits access to #COVID shots
By MATTHEW PERRONE and LAURAN NEERGAARD
Updated 5:01 PM EDT, May 20, 2025
Excerpt: "The nation’s leading pediatrics group said FDA’s approach will limit options for parents and their children.
" 'If the vaccine were no longer available or covered by insurance, it will take the choice away from families who wish to protect their children from COVID-19, especially among families already facing barriers to care,' said Dr. Sean O’Leary of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
"Provisional data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows more than 47,000 Americans died from COVID-related causes last year. The virus was the underlying cause for two-thirds of those and it was a contributing factor for the rest. Among them were 231 children whose deaths were deemed COVID-related, 134 of them where the virus was the direct cause -- numbers similar to yearly pediatric deaths from the flu.
"The new FDA approach is the culmination of a series of recent steps under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. scrutinizing the use of COVID shots and raising questions about the broader availability of vaccines. It was released two days ahead of the first meeting of FDA’s outside vaccine experts under the Trump."

Federal health officials will no longer routinely approve annual COVID-19 shots for younger adults and children who are healthy. Companies that want to market their vaccines to those Americans will need to conduct large, new studies, the Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday. It’s a major shift in FDA’s approach to updating vaccines that protect against the virus. It comes as Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his appointees continue to scrutinize the use of vaccines for a number of diseases. The FDA said Tuesday annual COVID shots will still be regularly approved for seniors and younger people with increased health risks from COVID due to underlying medical conditions.
Great... Not that I go anywhere much these days (especially indoors without a mask). I guess I'll go back to being a hermit!
#RFKJr. Is Vowing To Crackdown on the Crime of '#Chemtrails'
That's great, Bobby. You go ahead and spend all your time and energy addressing a problem that straight-up doesn't exist. 🙄✈️

What the actual fuck is wrong with this guy? First, he loaded a dead bear cub into his car and staged it Central Park because, reasons? Now, we learn he decided to decapitate a dead whale with a chainsaw? This is a man who is intellectually, philosophically, and morally bankrupt, as well as mentally unstable. I'm sure he'll fit right in with Team Trump.

#RFKjr is a pathetic, brazen #hypocrite. He questioned #Trump's humanity as recently as last month. #TheNewYorker reported the political scion referred to Trump as a “terrible human being” who was “probably a #sociopath” while attending the #RepublicanNationalConvention. Now he's suddenly an all out #MAGAt. The man has no principles, and his own best interests are his only motivation.
