Older adults should get another COVID shot this spring, CDC says
Quick Glance: Why Older Adults Require an Additional COVID-19 Vaccine
  • According to new guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), older adults should receive the COVID-19 vaccine more frequently than previously recommended. Individuals aged 65 and older are urged to get another vaccine dose in the spring or at least four months after their last dose.

  • The decision is based on data presented by CDC scientists showing current high hospitalization rates for COVID-19 among seniors, with the biggest spikes occurring in those aged 75 and older. A significant portion of hospitalizations due to COVID-19 are among people over 65 years old.

Quick Glance: Tips for Preventing Whooping Cough Amid Increasing Incidence
  • With a significant rise in cases in England in January, whooping cough is being more frequently diagnosed.

  • A key disparity between a regular cough and whooping cough lies in the intensity of symptoms, such as strong coughing fits, especially at night, accompanied by a high-pitched 'whoop,' vomiting, red face, and breathing difficulties.

  • Whooping cough is highly contagious and can have serious consequences, particularly for unvaccinated babies and children.

  • The most effective prevention against whooping cough remains vaccination, included in the NHS routine immunization schedule and administered to infants.
