Idaho banning vaccine mandates leaves the public vulnerable to viruses and will erode public health. As a country, many viruses we have eradicated are making a comeback, endangering us all.

A new CIDRAP review shows that the Avian Flu (H5N1) can be asymptomatic in people 🤯. Covid has really opened a can of worms and at the same time, has brought a lot of new and parallel research about viruses and their effects (both long and short term).

It is officially flu season so let's protect our communities by getting vaccinated before we gather for the holidays!
While you are waiting for vaccines to be available in your area, remember to mask up to protect yourself from pesky airborne viruses. Vaccines do not prevent transmission.

It shouldn't be this hard and confusing to find a vaccine at your local pharmacy.
In Texas, you are able to receive a vaccine without a doctor's prescription.

A recent study shows that mask usage in school saves lives as it helps to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and other illnesses.

It may not come as a surprise that this increase of the spread of illnesses happens as the school season begins again. So what can we do to keep each other safe?

Have you noticed everyone around you is sick?

It is back to school time, so we are experiencing a large COVID wave, just like we have the previous few years. Although lethality has lowered from initial Covid-19 infections, our infection rates continue to stay high and have even risen to peak...

We would like to compile some resources for our community here in Houston, TX and anybody this may help!
Infection rates were already rising before the school year started and we just had the largest absolute increase in Covid positivity for the whole U.S. since the OG Omicron outbreak.

While it felt important to share this promising news, this also serves as a bittersweet reminder that our pets can contract Covid 19 just like we can. Researchers are finding that this can cause life-threatening health issues in them much like it does in us.
