CNN —For the first time, adults 60 and older are eligible to receive a vaccine against the respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV. Since this is the first time an RSV vaccine has been made widely available, some older people may be wondering why it might be needed. Is RSV a major problem in adults, especially older adults? Tragically, around 10,000 to 13,000 older adults annually die from this infection. I also do not recommend that people who have decided to get the RSV vaccine to wait.

Why my Sober October lasted a year
  + stars: | 2023-10-01 | by ( Jemal Polson | Personal Essay | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
As it turned out, I needed more than a Sober October. Staying at home meant I didn’t have to be up early to commute to an office, so drinking more after work wasn’t the issue it once was. That has made me see that I don’t need to explain or even mention that I don’t drink. I found the Sober October feature and Grace’s book to be so powerful, they’ve been my only source of staying sober. Will I stay sober forever?

CNN: What should people do if they develop cold-like symptoms? Those individuals should take antiviral treatment if they test positive to reduce their risk of hospitalization and death. Most do not allow kids to return to school if they have a fever or severe viral symptoms such as vomiting. Wen: Most people will not need to see their health care provider for cold-like viral illnesses. Those vulnerable should have a plan in advance about accessing antiviral treatment to both Covid-19 and influenza.

All of this has led me to look into foodborne illnesses and how people can improve food safety practices. And, crucially, how can people prevent foodborne illnesses? Wen: Norovirus is the most frequent pathogen implicated in foodborne infections in the United States. Wen: Most foodborne illnesses can be treated at home and will resolve on their own. Bring plenty of plates and utensils, and make sure you clearly separate the ones used to touch raw meat from other items.

However, Covid-19 cases are on the rise, along with key metrics like hospital admissions. When should parents and caregivers get their children the flu vaccine and the new Covid-19 vaccine? Should parents get their children the flu vaccine and the new Covid-19 vaccine? Everyone 6 months of age and older should get the flu vaccine every year, with very rare exceptions. The new Covid-19 vaccine is important for people vulnerable to severe illness.
