Did You Hear About This Vax Side Effect?

A new study out of Japan found 30 cases of people developing or relapsing glomerular diseases (think: kidney issues like IgA nephropathy) after getting COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. Most cases popped up after the second shot, and while most people recovered with steroids, a few had more serious kidney problems. It’s rare, but definitely something researchers are digging into. Wild, right? #COVID19Vaccine #HealthNews #KidneyHealth #Health

Novavax Vax Finally Gets FDA Green Light

After weeks of waiting, Novavax’s Covid-19 vaccine just got FDA approval—but only for people 65+ or anyone 12+ with a health condition that puts them at higher risk. Unlike Pfizer and Moderna’s mRNA shots, Novavax uses a more old-school protein-based tech. The FDA wants more studies on rare heart inflammation risks, but experts say the benefits still outweigh the risks for those who need it most. Looks like there’s a new option for high-risk folks this season! #Novavax #Covid19Vaccine #FDAApproval #HealthNews #VaccineUpdate #Health

Novavax Gets the Green Light—But With a Catch

Novavax’s COVID-19 vaccine just scored full FDA approval, but here’s the twist: it’s only for people 65+ or those 12–64 with health risks. Unlike Pfizer and Moderna, this protein-based shot isn’t for everyone yet—kids under 12 are still waiting on more data. The FDA’s also asking for more studies, especially on heart safety. If you’ve been holding out for a non-mRNA option, this could be your moment (if you qualify)! #Novavax #COVID19Vaccine #FDAApproval #HealthNews #VaccineUpdate #Health

COVID Vax: What Long-Term Studies Really Say

Turns out, the most common long-term side effects from the COVID-19 vaccine are just headaches and fatigue—nothing wild. A huge UK study tracked nearly 18,000 people for over a year and found no new safety issues. The CDC still says serious side effects are super rare and treatable. And that whole “the vaccine causes myocarditis” rumor? Not true, according to recent research. Basically, the vax is still safe, and the wildest thing you’ll probably get is a sore arm or a headache for a day or two. #COVID19Vaccine #VaccineFacts #HealthNews #ScienceMatters #MythBusting #Health

Pregnant? COVID Vax Is Safe, Study Says

Big news for anyone worried about the COVID shot and pregnancy: a massive new study found zero link between the vaccine and miscarriage. Yup, none. Pregnant women actually face higher risks from catching COVID itself, but vaccination rates are still super low. Researchers are hoping this will finally put some fears to rest and get more moms-to-be protected. If you’re expecting or planning, this is the reassurance you’ve been waiting for! #COVID19Vaccine #Pregnancy #HealthNews #VaccineFacts #MomLife #Health

mRNA Vax: Immune System Still in Overdrive?

Just read a wild study: a year after getting the Pfizer mRNA COVID vax, young people still had higher levels of immune system signals (cytokines) in their blood. The immune system seems to stay revved up for months, and the effect is even stronger in men and older adults. Researchers think this could be from the body still making spike proteins. Kinda makes you wonder what that means long-term, right? #COVID19Vaccine #mRNA #ImmuneSystem #HealthNews #ScienceUpdate #Health
