Vaccination of children and adults is important because it reduces the risk from many infectious diseases. Yes, we give more vaccines now than in 1980; but we protect our patients and families from FAR more than we could in 1980. Risk less, do more by getting vaccinated!!! #NFID

Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance
A new study has revealed that traded wild mammals are 1.5 times more likely to carry diseases that can infect humans than non-traded species. The longer a species is traded, the more pathogens it shares with humans. Which animals pose the biggest threat and what can be done to reduce the risk of animal to human spillover? bit.ly/4c7PX7x

Vaccination rates for measles and polio in kindergarten children, by Red vs Blue states. Anti-vax rhetoric is endangering children. RFK Jr’s “MAHA” is endangering our future generations.

Vaccines were once so uncontroversial that McDonald’s restaurants put the childhood immunization schedule on their tray liners. Now, as the U.S. government sows doubt, preventable diseases could come roaring back. propublica.org/article/rfk-jr…

Measles. Idaho. “Idaho is particularly susceptible to measles outbreaks. The state has the highest rate of non-medical vaccination exemptions in the country and, in turn, the lowest rate of vaccination coverage among kindergartners.” arstechnica.com/health/2026/04…

It's not gone: #USDA reports 5 more dairy herds in Idaho have tested positive for #H5N1 #birdflu, the first in months. In the 2+ years since the virus was first detected in cows in the US, 1,093 herds in 19 states have tested positive for the virus. aphis.usda.gov/livestock-poul…

This sentence caught my attention, “The 30-day mortality rate for patients with RSV was 11.9%, and the 90-day mortality rate was 18.8%.” Clearly the virus’ health impacts don’t stop at 30 days, why stop counting at 30 days with SARS-CoV-2 infections? cidrap.umn.edu/influenza-gene…

Some ask, “if your measles vaccine works so well, why do you care if I get one or not?” Well not everyone - including newborns - can get vaccinated. Your vaccination, and the community level immunity it helps provide, keeps ALL babies safe! 👶🏾👶🏼👶
PBS News@NewsHour

Babies too young to be vaccinated are among the most vulnerable in a measles outbreak and depend entirely on herd immunity, where at least 95% of a community must be vaccinated to prevent measles outbreaks. to.pbs.org/4dI3Om3
