The U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that eligible persons aged 6 months and older receive a yearly flu vaccine. The best time is typically in the early fall (Sept or Oct), but if you miss this window it's never too late to get as flu season often goes through Spri...
The mRNA contains the instructions for making new viral proteins. Translation: The mRNA is carried back out of the nucleus by the cell's enzymes. The virus then uses the cell's natural protein-making mechanisms to make long chains of viral proteins and enzymes. Assembly: RNA and viral ...
Advocates fought to get people with HIV included in clinical trials of the vaccines, but the numbers were small and limited to those with good immune function. The pivotal trials of the Pfizer-BioNTech (BNT162b2, or Comirnaty) and Moderna (mRNA-1273, or Spikevax) vaccines included 196 and...
Different from subunit vaccines, RNA-based vaccines work by introducing a mRNA encoding a disease-specific antigen. Once the sequence of interest is inside the cells, it serves as a template to produce the antigen (protein) in situ. After translation, the antigen could be extracellularly transpor...
How do the different vaccines work? The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are bothmRNA (messenger RNA) vaccinesthat trigger an immune response. They use mRNA to instruct cells to make a harmless snippet of the spike protein that is found on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVI...
mRNA vaccines have appeared to trigger anaphylaxis, a severe reaction that is treatable with epinephrine (the drug in Epipens). For that reason, the CDC requires vaccination sites to monitor everyone for 15 minutes after their COVID-19 shot, and for 30 minutes if they have a history of sev...

Quarantine Recommendation by CDC for COVID-19 This is if you have been exposed to COVID-19 and you may or may not be infected. If you are unvaccinated, or are more than six months out from second mRNA dose, or more than 2 months since the J&J vaccine andnotyet boosted you should: ...
Despite this, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) currently advises against routine anal Pap screening in men, as there is insufficient data available to recommend this type of anal cancer screening for those at risk.3Moreover, unlike HPV tests used in women, there is no such...
united states. ladapo has advised against the covid-19 vaccine for children and claimed, in a widely debunked study, that pfizer and moderna’s mrna vaccines elevate the risk of cardiac-related deaths in young men. he was rebuked by the heads of the cdc and fda for promulgating ...
