Older Americans Should Get a Covid Booster This Spring, CDC Advisers Say
Quick Glance: Why Older Adults Require an Additional COVID-19 Vaccine
  • According to new guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), older adults should receive the COVID-19 vaccine more frequently than previously recommended. Individuals aged 65 and older are urged to get another vaccine dose in the spring or at least four months after their last dose.

Quick Glance: Tips for Preventing Whooping Cough Amid Increasing Incidence
  • With a significant rise in cases in England in January, whooping cough is being more frequently diagnosed.

  • A key disparity between a regular cough and whooping cough lies in the intensity of symptoms, such as strong coughing fits, especially at night, accompanied by a high-pitched 'whoop,' vomiting, red face, and breathing difficulties.

  • Whooping cough is highly contagious and can have serious consequences, particularly for unvaccinated babies and children.

  • The most effective prevention against whooping cough remains vaccination, included in the NHS routine immunization schedule and administered to infants.
