A pediatrician says there are five kinds of products you shouldn't buy and shares advice on finding safe, affordable alternatives. Advertisement"If you're buying, you have to understand you're not getting all the safety and quality that you can get from other retailers," Shapiro said. StrollersLike cribs, strollers are subject to recall in the US, as well as safety regulations. When you're buying from a reputable retailer that's subject to US regulations, more expensive doesn't necessarily mean safer, he noted. "Because it's cheaper doesn't mean that it's better, or worse," as long as it meets safety regulations, Shapiro said.

☆ FDA advisors recommend replacing original Covid vaccine with bivalent omicron shots for all doses
  + stars: | 2023-01-26 | by ( Spencer Kimball | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
The Food and Drug Administration's independent advisory committee on Thursday unanimously recommended replacing Pfizer and Moderna's original Covid vaccine used in the U.S. for everyone's first two immunizations with the new bivalent omicron shots. Instead, the drugmakers' bivalent omicron shots that target the omicron BA.5 subvariant as well as the original strain would be used for the entire vaccination series. Currently, Pfizer's and Moderna's omicron shots are only authorized as a booster, while the first two doses are still their old shots based on the original Covid strain. The FDA has proposed moving to a system that resembles how the agency updates and rolls out flu shots every year. The agency would select a Covid vaccine formulation in June to target the variant that is expected to dominate in the fall and winter.

The new COVID-19 booster which includes protection for Omicron at AltaMed Health Services in South Gate on Thursday, October 6, 2022. The latest omicron boosters are 84% effective at keeping seniors 65 and older from being hospitalized with Covid-19, according to a study published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday. Seniors who received the omicron booster had 73% more protection against hospitalization than those who only received two or more doses of the original vaccines that were not updated to target omicron, according to the CDC. In a larger study that looked at more more than 15,000 adults ages 18 and older, the omicron booster was 57% effective at preventing hospitalization. U.S. health officials have repeatedly called on everyone who is eligible to get an omicron booster ahead of the holidays.
☆ New Covid boosters aren’t better than old shots at neutralizing omicron BA.5, early studies find
  + stars: | 2022-10-27 | by ( Spencer Kimball | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
The new COVID-19 booster which includes protection for Omicron at AltaMed Health Services in South Gate on Thursday, October 6, 2022. Two studies are raising doubts about whether the new omicron BA.5 booster really will offer better protection against Covid than the first generation shot. Scientists at Columbia University in New York City found the new boosters did not produce a better antibody response in humans against BA.5 than the first-generation vaccines. Hotez said there should also be investigations into how the boosters perform against emerging omicron subvariants such as XBB and BQ.1., as the currently dominant BA.5 declines in circulation. It could be the case that the new boosters perform better against these emerging variants than the first generation shots do, Hotez said.
