Adult Vaccinations

Source: fstop123/iStock Researchers led by a team at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have developed an approach to assess whether a flu vaccine activates the types of immune cells that will be needed for long-lasting immunity against new influenza strains. The team demonstrated in human volunteers that the flu vaccine is capable of eliciting antibodies that protect against a broad range of flu viruses, at least in some people. Their findings, published in Nature , could help efforts to design an improved flu vaccine that provides protection not only against old influenza viruses but also new ones. “Every year, about half of the U.S. adult population gets vaccinated against influenza,” said Ali Ellebedy, PhD, an assistant professor of pathology and immunology at Washington University. “It’s necessary for public health, but it’s also incredibly expensive and inefficient. What we need is a one-and-done influenza shot, but we are not there yet. Anything that hel...

Approximately 2 to 3 million deaths worldwide are avoided each year because of vaccinations. 1 This has led to a 100% decrease in smallpox infections; a greater than 97% decrease in measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) infection; and a 99% decrease in Haemophilus influenzae virus infections since the 20th century. 2 Although vaccine distribution and availability have increased internationally, about 14% of children worldwide are not fully vaccinated for polio, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, and measles diseases. 3 Approximately 1.5 million individuals die from vaccine preventable diseases each year, and, as frontline providers, pharmacists are well positioned to improve vaccination rates and educate individuals about the risks and benefits of immunizations. 4 A total of 15 vaccinations are recommended and available for the pediatric population, administered in intervals from the time they are born to the age of 18. 5 With the increasing rates of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) ...

Hundreds of parents, children, educators and public health workers rallied at the Massachusetts State House Sunday morning, standing in solidarity against the flu vaccine mandate announced by the Department of Public Health earlier this month. This demonstration, hosted by No Mandatory Flu Shot MA and Oppose Overreach - Health Choice 4 Action MA, aimed to protect a parent’s right to choose whether or not their child should receive an influenza vaccination to attend school. Attendees lined Beacon Street in Boston, holding signs advocating, “My child, my choice,” among other statements condemning Gov. Charlie Baker and other state officials for the push to make the student flu shot permanent. The protesters demanded Baker rescind the mandate . “I have four children and I want to protect my right to their education without being coerced into receiving a flu vaccine, which I don’t believe in,” said Renee Vanderzicht, who has elementary, middle, and high school-aged children in Uxbridg...

Here’s what you need to know: Image A medical worker performing a test at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill on Friday. Credit... Pete Kiehart for The New York Times Confirmed virus cases in the U.S. surpass 6 million. Twenty-two days. It took more than three months for the United States to reach one million coronavirus cases after reporting its first confirmed infection, but less than a third of that time to notch the latest million-case leap. On Sunday, the United States hit yet another milestone, with six million reported cases, according to a New York Times database . But while the virus continues to spread relentlessly, raising tensions as states and school systems take ginger steps toward normalcy, the newest numbers provide evidence that the outbreak may be slowing. It took 16 days, for example, for U.S. cases to climb to five million from four million. And new daily cases have been going down since the end of July. Still, U.S. case numb...
