"Imagine if we were able to unify our voices to counter the misinformation. There is so much power in numbers"

"Confirmed cases now span nearly the entire country, including states such as California, Texas, Florida, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Iowa, and dozens more. The scale and geographic spread of the outbreak marks a troubling reversal after years of measles control and raises renewed concerns about vaccination rates and public health preparedness."
"Public health officials are sounding alarms as the United States surpasses 2,000 measles cases for the first time in more than three decades. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2,012 cases had been reported nationwide as of December 23. Twenty four of those cases were among international visitors."

Good evening.

The CDC estimates at least 7.2 million flu cases nationwide this season as of Dec. 20. Data shows that Michigan is seeing a "very high" influenza-like illness (ILI) activity level.
US folks: If you missed this in November, as I did:
Good news for those of us 65 and older, as well as the immunocompromised: The CDC now recommends a second dose of the 2025-2026 Covid vaccine.
The agency quietly updated its guidance in November to encourage adults 65 and older to receive two shots of this season’s vaccine, ideally six months apart to optimize protection. (People can get them as soon as two or three months after the first shot, depending on which vaccine they received.)
The same guidance applies to those who are moderately or severely immunocompromised. … Importantly, individuals do not need documentation to prove immunocompromised status.
Recent studies have shown that protection gained from covid vaccines wanes substantially after four to six months.
Note: I’m no fan of Leana Wen, to put it mildly, but this specific column seems good.
