A biased test kept thousands of Black people from getting a kidney transplant. It's finally changing
apnews.com/article/kidney-transplant-race-black-inequity-bias-d4fabf2f3a47aab2fe8e18b2a5432135
Quick Glance: Biased Testing Impact on Black Kidney Transplants
- After waiting for a kidney for four years, Jazmin Evans received a shocking message from her hospital: She should have been placed on the transplant list in 2015 instead of 2019, all due to a racially biased organ test.
- An unprecedented initiative has attributed lost waiting time to over 14,000 Black kidney transplant candidates, elevating their priority on the transplant list.
- The transition to race-free equations in calculating kidney function and the directive to use only race-neutral test results are crucial steps in addressing this imbalance.
- While the reduction of race usage in medical decisions is gradual, the kidney saga serves as a distinctive example of rectifying past injustices and combating healthcare disparities.

Quick Glance: Measles Outbreaks: Lifelong Protection or Need for Booster?
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns of increasing measles outbreaks in the U.S. and abroad, mostly linked to international travel.
- The MMR vaccine for measles, mumps, and rubella is highly effective, with two doses proving 97% effective. A single dose already provides 93% protection.
- The CDC considers you protected from measles if you either received two vaccine doses, received one dose and do not need a booster, or were born before 1957.
- Once fully vaccinated, no booster shots are required, and the two doses provide lifelong immunity. Individuals unsure of their childhood vaccination status should consult with their healthcare provider.
