pneumococcal vaccine for adults :: Article Creator 'We're Absolutely Making It Too Hard': The Complexity Of Adult Immunization Delivery Hinders Vaccine Uptake Alison Buttenheim was floored by a sign she saw in her doctor's office when she went to get the first jab of the two-dose shingles vaccine to protect her against painful flare-ups of varicella zoster. "Medicare patients cannot receive Tdap or zoster vaccines here. They need to obtain [them] at their pharmacy. If they receive it here, they need to pay out of pocket," the notice read. Medicare patients could get flu shots, Covid-19 shots, and vaccinations to protect against pneumonia in that office. And they could probably actually get the Tdap vaccination (it protects against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) if they had stepped on a nail or had some other accident that could lead to tetanus infection — in other words, if they needed it as a treatment. No dice, t...

biggest epidemic in the world :: Article Creator Bananas Could Go Extinct Due To Fungus Outbreak, Scientists Say "Nobody is even close to solving the problem," said Dan Koeppel, author of the book "Banana: The Fate of the Fruit That Changed the World."Getty Images/iStockphoto This pandemic could spell farm-ageddon for the global banana market. While there are over 1,000 species of the crescent-shaped fruit, 47% of all bananas consumed by people are of the Cavendish strain. Here's hoping they don't become so rare that a single banana sells for $120,000, a la the work by avant-garde Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan. This potential extirpation is somewhat ironic given that the species was bred for, among other factors, its resistance to disease. After another popular variety of the fruit called Gros Michel was wiped out by tropical race 1 (TR4's predecessor) in the early 20th century, the Cavendish variety soare...

vaccination :: Article Creator COVID-19 Vaccination And Factors Contributing To Vaccine Refusal The Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, trade name Comirnaty. As we're now three years out from the beginning of the pandemic, there's a lot of information emerging about our behaviors from one or two years ago. Given the demonstrable benefits of COVID-19 vaccination, it's important to understand the reasons for declining the vaccine. Two weeks ago I looked at a study examining the use of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, and the relationship with endorsement of misinformation, or of lack in trust in scientists and physicians. Today I want to look at reasons for vaccine refusal in an non-American population – in this case, Hong Kong. Background Pre-vaccine, Hong Kong was regarded as having a strict but effective pandemic response. Its containment strategy failed as the more contagious Omicron variant took hold in 2022, and swept throug...
