dtap immunization for adults :: Article Creator Disease Known To Hospitalize Children Is Continuing To Spread In Michigan More than half of infants who contract pertussis, known as whooping cough, require hospitalization. Once their condition has deteriorated enough to require medical care, there isn't much physicians can do to treat them or speed up recovery. Instead, they offer supportive care, limit spread, and wait for the disease to run its course, said Dr. Francis Darr, a pediatrician in Marquette. "The key, again, is not so much treatment as it is prevention and avoiding infection in the first place," Darr said. Michigan is seeing its highest number of pertussis infections in a decade. As of Dec. 8, the state health department reported more than 1,500 cases, which is more than twice as much as the 596-case average from 2017 through 2019. Public health leaders are urging families to ensure they're up to da...

vaccine delta variant :: Article Creator Full COVID Vaccination Tied To Lower Risk Of Heart Conditions, Death A new analysis of data in Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses finds that the incidence of COVID-19 hospitalization is more than double among patients with any psychiatric disorder compared to adults with no psychiatric disorder. The longitudinal study is based on electronic health records collected from four health systems and research centers in Indiana, Oregon, Texas, and Utah that partner with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The study follow-up period lasted from December 2021 to August 2022, after both widespread vaccination campaigns and the Omicron variant became features of the pandemic in the United States. Among the 2,436,999 adults included in the study, the median age was 47. Women composed 58.3% of the sample, 66.1% were White, 12.9% were Black, 12.0% were Hispanic, and 3.6% were Asian.

cdc recommended vaccines for adults :: Article Creator CDC Urges Vaccination Amid Rise In Measles Cases In The US And Globally US health officials are warning doctors about the dramatic rise in measles cases around the world, and advising families traveling to a measles-affected country to get babies as young as 6 months vaccinated before they go. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a health alert to doctors on Monday to increase awareness of the international spread of measles, and urged them to vaccinate infants a few months ahead of the typical schedule if families are planning to go abroad. The warning comes ahead of the busy spring and summer travel season. Many countries, including Austria, Philippines, Romania and the United Kingdom–destinations frequented by American tourists–are experiencing measles outbreaks, the CDC noted. The CDC also warned about lagging vaccination rates in 36 US states where fewer than 95%...

For example, an epidemiological study of U.S. Population data found that every 10 additional primary care physicians per 100,000 people was associated with a 51.5-day increase in life expectancy...

coordinated care :: Article Creator Union Workers Push For Health Care And Insurance Bills Following Coordinated Strikes After thousands of Twin Cities union workers went on strike last week, workers are pushing for changes at the Capitol — including public health insurance open to all Minnesotans and insurance for striking workers.  About 200 unionized health care, education and property service workers with the SEIU Minnesota State Council met with legislators Wednesday for an organized lobby day. "I would make the case that over the last few years here in Minnesota because of the leadership of SEIU and our allied partners, we have maybe made more progress than we have in a generation around workers and union rights," said Gov. Tim Walz, who gave a speech to rallying workers before they headed to St. Paul. Statewide labor unions, including the SEIU Minnesota State Council, have endorsed Walz. Although Walz didn't address specif...

tdap vaccine cost :: Article Creator CDC Tells Physicians To Conserve Tetanus Shots, Warns Of Upcoming Shortage The CDC is urging healthcare professionals to conserve their supply of the Td vaccine, a type of tetanus shot, in advance of an upcoming shortage. Doctors should administer the Tdap vaccine instead of the Td vaccine when possible to protect against tetanus. Experts say the widely available Tdap vaccine is the preferred tetanus shot since it also protects against whooping cough. If you've ever been to the emergency room to treat a serious wound, you probably received a tetanus shot. As the most commonly administered vaccine in the ER, tetanus shots are used to protect against tetanus, an infection caused by Clostridium tetani bacteria. However, health officials say a common type of tetanus vaccine may soon be in short supply. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is advising healthcare professionals to prese...

astrazeneca pfizer combination :: Article Creator AstraZeneca Adds Another Rare Disease Drug In $800M Buyout Of Startup Amolyt Dive Brief: AstraZeneca is bolstering its rare disease division with the purchase of Amolyt Pharma, an endocrine disease specialist backed by Novo Holdings.
