It's Cyber Monday, and all @KFF information is free. Actually, our policy research, polling, and news reporting (available at @KFFHealthNews) is always free. No paywalls, no subscription fees, etc. That's been a core principle for us.
A big question, particularly with RFK Jr.'s nomination to be Secretary of HHS: Will the Trump Administration defend the ACA's requirement to provide preventive services, including vaccinations? It's currently being challenged in the courts.
WHO reports cases of Marburg virus reported in 7 of country’s 30 districts. Not promising news. Patients may end up appearing at many different health facilities. Healthcare worker awareness, fast triage, enough PPE & infection control are paramount. afro.who.int/countries/rwan…
@KFF just launched the Health Policy 101, a "mini textbook" covering the basics on a wide range of health policy topics. Kudos to all who contributed, I'm grateful to work with and learn from you! kff.org/health-policy-…
New data from @CMSGov showing that more than 10 million people with Medicare received a free vaccine because of the Inflation Reduction Act (shingles, Tdap, RSV) cms.gov/newsroom/press…
Wow. NEJM just released this letter that provides most extensive detail so far about dairy worker in Texas who was infected with H5N1 bird flu. Eye so RED. Worker was not wearing eye or respiratory protection.
Very different positions from presidential candidates on the newly established White House pandemic preparedness office. Trump says it is wasteful and that he would disband it; Biden defends it. time.com/6972973/biden-…
Pasteurization appears to inactivate #H5N1 so milk continues to be safe, but you might be surprised to learn how prevalent raw milk consumption is in the US. Raw milk sales are permitted in most states (thanks to @AlexesMerritt for the map, data from procon.org)
From new testing guidance by @USDA_APHIS More on cats who now appear to be particularly susceptible to H5N1 infections "cats with neurologic disease and dead cats on affected dairies are widely reported" aphis.usda.gov/sites/default/…
While dairy cows have fared well in recovering from HPAI H5N1 You'll recall @USDA's Suelee Robbe-Austerman said other animals haven't "cats have a high level of mortality on these dairy farms" "we assume are being allowed access to some of this milk" tinalexander.github.io/notes/2024/04#…
