nheath+FollowNovavax’s COVID Vax: Not for Everyone?Novavax just got full FDA approval, but there’s a catch: it’s only for people 65+ or those 12-64 with health risks. Unlike Pfizer and Moderna’s mRNA shots, Novavax is protein-based (fewer side effects, anyone?). But with the FDA shaking up vaccine rules, next fall’s booster options might look way different. If you’re tired of shots, nasal vaccines could be on the horizon! #Novavax #COVID19 #VaccineUpdate #FDA #HealthNews #Health00Share
Adam Cox+FollowFDA’s New COVID Shot Rules—What’s Up?The FDA just gave Novavax’s new COVID shot the green light, but only for seniors and high-risk folks—not everyone. Unlike Pfizer and Moderna, which are approved for anyone 12+, Novavax’s shot is limited to those 65+ or people 12-64 with health risks. Plus, the FDA wants more safety data, especially for heart issues. And heads up: the whole vaccine approval process might be changing soon, with talks of new rules and even dropping COVID shots from the kids’ vaccine list. Stay tuned! #COVID19 #Novavax #FDA #VaccineUpdate #HealthNews #Health47Share
reyesbrian+FollowNovavax Finally Gets the Green LightNovavax just scored long-awaited FDA approval for its COVID-19 vaccine, and their stock shot up 15%! The catch? It’s only for folks 65+ or anyone 12+ with health risks. This is a big deal for people who wanted a non-mRNA option (think: not Pfizer or Moderna). Novavax is teaming up with Sanofi to roll it out this fall, but they’ll need more approvals for future updates. Big pharma drama, anyone? #Novavax #COVID19 #VaccineNews #FDA #HealthUpdates #Health00Share

Charles Christensen+FollowCOVID-19’s Scary Side in KidsAn 8-year-old girl in China tragically died after COVID-19 triggered rare, severe brain complications. She started with a fever and rash, but things quickly spiraled into seizures and a coma. Doctors say COVID usually hits the lungs, but it can sometimes mess with the brain—especially in kids. The scariest part? It’s hard to know if COVID was the only culprit, but this case is a wake-up call to watch for weird symptoms in kids after infection. #COVID19 #HealthNews #Parenting #Neurology #ViralNews #Health11Share
Melinda Gutierrez+FollowHHS Might Drop COVID Vax Rec for Kids & MomsBig news: The HHS could soon stop recommending COVID-19 vaccines for kids, teens, and pregnant women as a routine thing. The CDC still says everyone 6 months+ should get the latest shot, but that might change soon. No word yet if the advice will be totally scrapped or just shifted to 'talk to your doctor.' Only about 14% of pregnant women and 13% of kids/teens got this season’s vax, so this could shake things up! #COVID19 #VaccineUpdate #HealthNews #Parenting #Pregnancy #Health00Share
William Vasquez+FollowICU COVID Superinfections: The Real RiskTurns out, catching a bacterial infection on top of COVID-19 in the ICU is a big deal. This study found that these 'superinfections' seriously up the risk of dying and make it harder to get discharged. Enterobacterales and Staph were the main culprits. Wild twist: women were less likely to get these infections, but if they did, their outcomes were worse than men. If you or someone you know is in the ICU with COVID, make sure docs are checking for these sneaky bugs! #COVID19 #ICU #Superinfection #HealthNews #MedicalResearch #Health3211Share
Jacqueline Ray+FollowLong COVID Brain Fog: It’s Not Just in Your HeadEver felt like your brain just won’t cooperate after COVID? Turns out, science finally backs you up! A new study found that the infamous ‘brain fog’ isn’t just in your imagination—it’s linked to real changes in the brain, like inflammation and lower levels of a key protein that helps your brain adapt. Basically, your brain’s wiring gets thrown off. For millions dealing with this, it’s a huge relief to have proof that what they’re feeling is 100% real. #LongCOVID #BrainFog #HealthNews #ScienceUpdate #COVID19 #Health101Share
elizabethwang+FollowNovavax Vax Gets Green Light—With a CatchThe FDA just approved Novavax’s COVID vaccine, but there’s a twist: it’s only for people 65+ or anyone 12-64 with a health condition that ups their COVID risk. No word yet on what counts as an ‘underlying condition’—classic FDA move. If you were hoping for a new vax option for kids, you’ll have to wait; those studies aren’t done yet. Big milestone for Novavax, but definitely not a free-for-all! #Novavax #COVID19 #FDAApproval #VaccineUpdate #Health20Share
Joel Sweeney+FollowWhy COVID Advice Kept ChangingEver wonder why COVID advice felt like it was always changing? A top W.H.O. official just admitted nobody got it 100% right. Turns out, it’s tough for people to accept that science evolves and advice shifts as we learn more. The real takeaway? We all need to get better at talking about what we know—and what we don’t—especially when things are moving fast. Makes you rethink those early pandemic debates, right? #COVID19 #WHO #HealthCommunication #PandemicLessons #Health22Share
