adult booster :: Article Creator Adults Largely Don't Need Tetanus, Diphtheria Vaccine Boosters, Researchers Say With certain exceptions, US adults could safely forego tetanus and diphtheria booster vaccination—if uptake of childhood vaccines stays high, an Oregon Health & Science University–led research team wrote yesterday in Clinical Microbiology Reviews.

State Rejects Challenge Of $1B Medicaid Transportation Contract To Colorado Company

The Bureau of General Services has upheld the decision to award transportation contracts for Medicaid patients to an out-of-state company.

In October, the Department of Health and Human Services awarded Colorado-based Modivcare contracts for all Maine counties to transport Medicaid patients with no other way to get to medical appointments.

This article appears through a media partnership with Maine Public.
