Holy crap, HHS cancelled VRBPAC. (For non-public health people: This is the US contribution to the WHO-led identification and selection of flu strains for the next flu shot. There are other countries contributing. But US labs and expertise have always been a huge factor in the final agreement.)

Listening to @adamratnermd.bsky.social narrate his book Booster Shots and remembering my grandma, an illiterate woman in the North of Iran, who took 3 buses in a snowstorm to take me to a vaccine center to get my booster shots. We take for granted how privileged we are to have easy vaccine access!

Health officials — who are scrambling to get a handle on the vaccine-preventable outbreak — suspect 200 to 300 people in West Texas are infected with measles but untested, and therefore not part of the state’s official tally so far.

The one thing that brings me hope on this very dark day for our nation's health is this: The most important factor in a patient's decision to get vaccinated is a strong recommendation from a health care provider who they trust. #pedsky #medsky #idsky #pedsidsky

Just finished this, by @adamratnermd.bsky.social, a history of measles. Excellent read, fascinating information. And timely. (Saw a patient just this week, halfway through a 6th pregnancy, who remains susceptible to both measles and mumps…so many opportunities missed.)
