Health update

The CDC says there is an "urgent need" to boost vaccination coverage across the US due to increasing levels of respiratory disease. About 7 million fewer adults have gotten their flu shot so far this season compared with the last virus season. ....Vaccination coverage for Covid-19 is also low, with just 17% of adults and about 8% of children getting the latest shot. Only about 16% of adults ages 60 and up have gotten the new vaccine for respiratory syntactical virus.

 The U.S. is unprepared for the growing threat of mosquito- and tick-borne viruses
