Safety of co-administration of mRNA COVID-19 and seasonal inactivated influenza vaccines in the vaccine adverse event reporting system (VAERS) during July 1, 2021-June 30, 2022
DISCUSSION: This review of reports to VAERS following co-administration of mRNA COVID-19 and seasonal influenza vaccines did not reveal any unusual or unexpected patterns of AEs. Increased reporting of certain events (e.g., COVID-19 disease) was expected. CDC will continue to monitor the safety of co-administration of mRNA COVID-19 and seasonal influenza vaccines, including co-administration involving bivalent mRNA COVID-19 booster vaccines that have been recommended for people ages ≥ 6 months in the United States.PMID:36669964 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2022.12.069

We Need to Bring Sexual Health Care to Places Where People Have Sex
On Saturday, June 29, 2019, a group of over 200 queer and trans folks were gathered in New York City, celebrating the city’s big World Pride weekend. They had all come to a party called NYC Inferno known for sexual activity. At around midnight, they were gathered in the front of the venue, rapt as an artist led them in an interactive performance. Within moments, everyone was singing the refrain: “We’ve got to keep each other alive, because no one else is gonna do it.” With this care-based ethos in mind, NYC Inferno, and all other queer sex-based venues in NYC, quickly shut down in July 2022, when Mo...

Vaccine associated myocarditis revisited with COVID-19 mRNA vaccines
When I had reviewed the topic of vaccine associated myocarditis for an editorial in the BMH Medical Journal in 2017, most of the cases were associated with small pox vaccination [1]. There were also reports of streptococcal pneumonia vaccine and influenza vaccine associated myocarditis. Autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants (ASIA) used in the vaccine were also implicated in some cases [2,3]. While the large scale vaccination for small pox in an attempt to prepare for potential bioterrorism was the association in 2003 [4], COVID-19 mRNA vaccines are currently in the limelight for vaccine induced myocarditis...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, June 14th 2021
In conclusion, a number of high-income countries, changes in health expectancies over time have not kept pace with the growth in life expectancy. That is, people are living longer but disability and poor health are occupying an increasing proportion of later life. Our findings suggest that countries still need to make significant progress to achieve the WHO's Decade of Healthy Ageing goal of healthier, longer lives for all.

Emergency Considerations in COVID-19 Vaccine Administration
Conclusion The joint response of science and medicine to develop safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines has been brisk and productive. Distribution efforts will now be the next step in limiting the breadth of this pandemic. EMS agencies will play a key role in some areas in the administration of vaccinations for their communities. The authors suggest that to better clarify the side effects of the COVID-19 vaccines, EMS systems must maintain a log of the type and incidence of adverse events following vaccine administration, EMS responses to the adverse events, as well as those patients’ outcomes from this management. ...
