mandatory childhood immunizations :: Article Creator A Parent's Guide To Well Child Visits State Zip Code Country Long Island Parents Push Back Against Vaccinations, Pediatricians Say An increasing number of Long Island parents are questioning, resisting or refusing to vaccinate their infants and young children for common childhood diseases such as measles, whooping cough and hepatitis, or delaying the schedule of immunization, according to some pediatricians. The reluctance comes amid a tumultuous period in Washington, as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a prominent vaccine skeptic who serves as President Donald Trump's Health and Human Services secretary, last week removed all 17 members of a scientific committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to use vaccines. On Wednesday, Kennedy named eight new members to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, including a nurse who critics contend has spr...

Breast, Colorectal Cancer Screening Higher Than Lung Cancer Screening

HealthDay News — Among individuals eligible for lung cancer screening (LCS), use of breast cancer screening (BCS) and colorectal cancer screening (CCS) is much higher than use of LCS, according to a research letter published online April 2 in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Alexandra L. Potter, from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, and colleagues examined use of other cancer screening tests among U.S. Adults eligible for LCS and those ineligible for LCS. Participants aged 50 to 79 years in the 2022 U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) dataset were classified according to whether they met the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force criteria for LCS. LCS-eligible participants were further classified according to whether they were eligible for BCS and CCS.

Of the 212,393 BRFSS participants who met the study inclusion criteria, 28,483 were eligible for LCS. Overall, 11,147 and 24,172 BRFSS participants were included in the LCS/BCS and the LCS/CCS dual-eligibility cohorts, respectively. The researchers found that in the LCS/BCS dual-eligibility cohort, 65.0 percent underwent BCS and 17.0 percent underwent LCS. In the LCS/CCS dual-eligibility cohort, 64.7 percent underwent CCS and 17.5 percent underwent LCS. Among LCS-eligible participants who had never undergone LCS, 60.2 and 58.7 percent underwent BCS and CCS, respectively. In nearly all subgroups, receipt of CCS and BCS was at least three times higher than LCS.

"The results highlight the need for interventions to increase awareness about LCS and to reduce barriers," the authors write.

advanced primary care of the ozarks :: Article Creator Integrating Rx With Advanced Primary Care Will Unlock Better Health America's healthcare industry has been squeezed tightly over the past few years with post-pandemic fallout, a declining economy and high consumer expectations. Retail pharmacies are no exception, and it's clear that the traditional pharmacy model is in crisis. With rising costs for medications and supplies and changing consumer retail habits, this doesn't bode well for the brick-and-mortar community pharmacy. Simply put: the traditional pharmacy model is unsustainable. We will soon see a rash of closing retail pharmacies and consumers scrambling to fill needed prescriptions affordably. You might be asking yourself why this should matter to you as HR and benefit professionals. I serve as chief human resources officer for a company that works with many large employers concerned about healthcare costs and the de...
