Newsweek - Four Democratic-led Western states on Wednesday issued their own guidelines for seasonal vaccines, a direct rebuke of federal health policies under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The West Coast Health Alliance — made up of California, Oregon, Washington and Hawaii — recommended flu shots for everyone 6 months and older, broad use of COVID-19 vaccines and targeted R.S.V. vaccinations for infants, older adults and those at higher risk.
People - Five people have now died in Louisiana, and dozens of others have been sickened, amid an ongoing outbreak of cases of vibriosis, an illness caused by the flesh-eating bacteria Vibrio vulnificus.The Louisiana Department of Health confirmed the latest death on Sept. 16, as the coastal state “continues to see a higher number of Vibrio cases and deaths than are typically reported.”
NBC News - A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisory panel unanimously recommended limiting the Covid shot to people 65 and older or those with underlying health conditions, based on a decision individually or with their doctor. The panel, handpicked by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, rejected a separate recommendation that the agency should encourage states to require a prescription.
