Why Public Schools Should Require the HPV Vaccine
If you live in Rhode Island and your children go to public school, they will need to be vaccinated against the Human Papilloma Virus, or HPV. This is a new requirement—and not everyone likes it. Those who oppose the change point out that you catch HPV through sex, unlike infections like measles or whooping cough that you can catch if someone in the classroom has it and coughs on you. Why, they say, should the HPV vaccine be required for school?
Because it could save lives, that’s why.
HPV is the leading cause of cervical cancer. It’s also the cause of many other cancers, and genital warts. The vaccine, which can be g...

Bridging a Gap between Scientists and the Public
By Travis J. Bernardo, Ph.D.
What do the following stories have in common?
According to the Centers for Disease Control, endemic measles was eradicated from the U.S. in the year 2000, the result of decades of vaccination efforts. But the last few years have seen a dramatic spike in the number of nationwide measles outbreaks, attributed in part to rising public fears over vaccination use.
The National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation together receive just under $40 billion in funding annually, less than 1 percent of a federal budget dominated by transfer payment programs, health insurance s...

Hmm, There May Be A Link Between Vaccines And Political Pandering
You’d think that between the two major-party candidates for president, plus the two third-party candidates drawing significant support in the polls, there would be at least one person with an unblemished record of support for mandatory public vaccination ― one of the greatest public health achievements in history ― against the bogus idea that vaccines cause autism.
You’d be wrong. While Republican nominee Donald Trump is the only proponent of the autism theory among those four, each of the other candidates has flirted with it at one point or another. The Huffington Post has rated their vaccine views on a bo...

News at a glance: U.S. rules on carbon emissions, better vehicle batteries, and a Mars moon ’s close-up
PLANETARY SCIENCE
Mars’s moon may be its kin
Researchers have long believed that Mars’s two moons, Deimos and Phobos, are captured asteroids. But the first close-up images of Deimos, taken by the United Arab Emirates’s $200 million Hope spacecraft, suggest the 12-kilometer-wide body instead formed from the same material as Mars, researchers revealed this week at the annual meeting of the European Geosciences Union. The imagery, taken during a 10 March flyby, indicates that Deimos’s surface is covered by volcanic basalts like those on Mars, with no signs of the carbon-rich rock more often found on ast...

Parents' and informal caregivers' views and experiences of communication about routine childhood vaccination: a synthesis of qualitative evidence.
CONCLUSIONS: We have high or moderate confidence in the evidence contributing to several review findings. Further research, especially in rural and low- to middle-income country settings, could strengthen evidence for the findings where we had low or very low confidence. Planners should consider the timing for making vaccination information available to parents, the settings where information is available, the provision of impartial and clear information tailored to parental needs, and parents' perceptions of health workers and the information provided.

Current status of vaccines in psychiatry-A narrative review.
DISCUSSION: The therapeutic potential of vaccines in Substance Use Disorders and Alzheimer Dementia was found to be limited in comparison to the results from animal studies. Safety profile of the immunogens and the adjuvants in humans is possibly the most important limitation. No causal association between Measles Mumps Rubella vaccine and Autism was found.

Equity assessment of childhood immunisation at national and subnational levels in Myanmar: a benefit incidence analysis
CONCLUSION: Donors, national government and regional government should better plan to maintain vaccine coverage while improving equity of vaccine services, especially for children of lower SES, mothers with less antenatal care visits and lower paternal education living in conflicted-affected remote regions.PMID:35803601 | DOI:10.1136/bmjgh-2021-007800

Study on acute respiratory infection in children aged 1 year to 5 years-A hospital-based cross-sectional study
CONCLUSION: The studies regarding factors influencing ARI are relatively rare in an urban setting, thus this calls for more studies in urban areas. Health education can change the healthcare-seeking behavior and attitude of parents for preventing ARI-related deaths. Family physicians can play a significant role by educating caregivers of children and giving timely services. Promoting and ensuring exclusive breastfeeding practices, timely weaning after 6 months, and avoidance of bottle feeds can dramatically decrease the episodes of ARI.PMID:37312761 | PMC:PMC10259544 | DOI:10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_1748_22

Prospects of using community directed intervention strategy in delivering health services among Fulani Nomads in Enugu State, Nigeria
Conclusion:
Given the definable organizational structure of the nomads in Enugu State and their desire for modern health intervention, it is feasible to test the CDI strategy for equitable healthcare delivery among nomads. They are willing and capable to participate actively in their own health programmes with minimal support from professional health workers.

Vaccines not linked with autism, study finds
Conclusion
This systematic review and meta-analysis has found no association between vaccination and the development of autism or autism spectrum disorder. The cohort studies included in the systematic review had information on more than a million children from four different countries.
This was a valuable and rigorous piece of research that will hopefully reassure parents who have any concerns about getting their children vaccinated against childhood diseases.
As with all studies, this research has limitations. It excluded data from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) in the United States, a system si...

Antibiotic resistance and your family: 3 ways to GET SMART about antibiotics
Antibiotics are one of the most significant medical advances of the past century. Countless lives have been saved since the discovery of penicillin in the 1920s. We assume that common skin or urine infections are easily treated with a simple course of antibiotics. But caring for infections isn’t always simple. In fact, antibiotic resistance has brought new challenges.
What is antibiotic resistance?
Though doctors hailed penicillin as a wonder drug, bacteria may be smarter than antibiotics. Bacteria quickly figure out how to overcome the antibiotics we develop, resulting in infections such as methicillin-resistant Staph...

Finding the Origin of Human Disease
We're still trying to eradicate diseases that have plagued humans for centuries. References to malaria, for instance, have been found in recorded history in 2700 BC China. Riaan Rifkin, a prehistoric archaeologist, together with geneticists at the University of Pretoria, South Africa gets down to the root of origins of human disease pathogens in sub-Saharan Africa, the cradle of mankind. He and his team are trying to pin down the origins of human disease and establish a sub-Saharan African disease baseline that precedes the exodus of Homo sapiens from Africa 65000 years ago and, perhaps, to also assist in the discovery of ...

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Newly Appointed Vaccine Chair, Has A Dangerously Anti-Science View
President-elect Donald Trump made his previously vague stance on vaccines much clearer on Tuesday, when he invited vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to chair a panel on vaccine safety and scientific integrity.
Like many people who speak out against current vaccination practices, Kennedy says he’s fine with the concept of the shots but strongly opposes the use of thimerosal ― a preservative that hasn’t been used in childhood vaccines in the U.S. since 2001.
Kennedy’s position against a scary-sounding chemical compound may seem measured, considering he has acknowledged that vaccines h...
