Ernie Hudson is tempting his fans with a sexy new partnership. The “Ghostbusters” actor is joining forces with pharmaceutical giant Pfizer in a campaign to get older adults vaccinated against RSV. Word In Black sat down with Hudson to discuss why he decided to get involved in this campaign and the importance of Black men being proactive about their health. "As we get older, our immune systems are weakened, and you don’t want to have to live with something that could have been prevented," he says.

Heading into the July 4th holiday, I dove into new CDC recommendations for RSV vaccination. Experts changed previous recs to move past "shared clinical decision making" for everyone 60+, now advising that all adults 75+ get the shot and those 60-74 with a chronic condition that puts them at higher risk. Wall Street shuddered at the potential for a smaller addressable market, with shares of GSK, Pfizer and Moderna all falling after the vote. The central questions: Will more Americans get the vaccine thanks to clearer guidance? Or did public health experts inadvertently limit older adults looking for protection against the virus? https://lnkd.in/eYQHaaYk
Experts want to make it easier to get RSV vaccines. Did they make it harder instead?

Ignorance about cervical cancer can lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment, significantly impacting outcomes. Lack of awareness about risk factors, symptoms, and the importance of regular screenings often results in missed opportunities for early detection. This delay allows the cancer to progress to advanced stages, making it more challenging to treat and increasing the likelihood of mortality. Education and awareness campaigns are crucial to emphasize the significance of preventive measures, screenings, and seeking medical help at the earliest signs or symptoms, ultimately reducing mortality rates due to cervical cancer.

https://lnkd.in/gfztdiB4 Good morning, #connections! I hope you are all enjoying your holidays. I just came across this #article on CBC and am quite conflicted reading this. As we are in cold and flu season, all #doctors are stressing us to be up to date on our #vaccines: #COVID, #flushot, and #RSV, namely. Living with grandparents, reading this was quite mind-boggling, in particular the fact that those who want to get the #RSV vaccine must pay $200-$300, because apparently it is not covered by #OHIP. I believe it should be covered, or at least a portion of it-- with #inflation and all, this is definitely not helping. I'm #interested to hear what everyone thinks about this. Should the #government cover the cost of this #RSV vaccine? #Thankyou in advance for engaging, and for any opinions you have to offer on this issue!
