This is true! But it's not a shot you can get as prophylaxis unless you work with animals – or had an encounter (I wish it was a standard). So, if y'all got friendly with a driveway racoon or you shooed a bat out of your house, go get a shot!

This year's strains aren't looking good:
The infections have started earlier.
A(H3N2) strains are dominant - and linked to worse outcomes.
A shifted strain (slightly different to vaccines) is also doing the rounds.

michigan is considered endemic for mmr. if you have family in michigan and plan on visiting for thanksgiving, you are recommended to receive an update mmr dose as prophylaxis
You can get your titers checked for the MMR to see if you still have immunity...
but that also costs money if your insurance won't cover it
whereas getting the MMR when you have immunity already, only has the risk of the vaccination the same as if you didn't have immunity (which is low) so

Re-up MMR, get vaccinated, and PLEASE people, wear masks.
It's colder, kids are in school sharing germs, we're now inside more than ever, and some viruses are asymptomatic.
Or your immune system is like mine and can't be sick *normally* but can be semi-sick, making it hard to notice.

That was pretty much it! While the medical establishment was wringing hands about how hard this population was to successfully reach, some Sicilian gents shrugged their shoulders and figured it out: if needles are shared, prophylaxis needs to happen at the delivery

There should be a lot more attention to hospitals’ perverse, ironic hostility to sick people.
As someone whose hospital experience has run the gamut from perfectly healthy (had to go for prophylaxis) to profoundly disabled, wanted to guess when I got the best care and when the worst?

Just got a call from a lovely but very nervous Dr, who advised I wouldn't be routinely screened for breast cancer because I'm not indicated as being "biologically female" on the central NHS database and my biology wouldn't indicate I'm at risk.
My records have been altered, which is upsetting.
