HHS Commits to Removing Preservative from Flu Vaccine

Yesterday, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that all vaccine manufacturers will be required to eliminate the preservative thimerosal from influenza vaccines. This decision, aimed at enhancing public trust and safety, affects only a small percentage of flu vaccine doses in the U.S. While thimerosal has been deemed safe, its removal addresses concerns raised by the anti-vaccine movement. Learn more about the implications of this move and the recommendations Kennedy did not accept in a report by STAT’s Helen Branswell.

Remote CBT Shows Promise for Chronic Pain Management

A recent study published in JAMA revealed that remote cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be effective in treating chronic pain, especially in underserved rural areas. Participants who received remote CBT in addition to their regular care showed significant improvements in pain severity compared to those receiving standard care alone. While this approach holds promise, challenges such as limited broadband access may hinder widespread implementation. Read more insights from STAT’s Isabella Cueto on this groundbreaking study.

Calls for Enhanced Nutrition Education in Medical Schools

With inadequate nutrition education in medical schools, fewer than a third of U.S. medical students meet the recommended hours of training in this critical area. RFK Jr. proposed incentivizing medical schools to include robust nutrition courses in their curriculum, a move supported by nutrition experts as a means to address biases and improve patient care. Discover more about the potential benefits of enhanced nutrition education in a report by STAT’s Sarah Todd.

7,000 Daily Steps Linked to Improved Health Outcomes

A systematic review published in The Lancet Public Health suggests that taking 7,000 daily steps can lead to significant reductions in mortality and disease risks compared to lower step counts. The study findings highlight the importance of physical activity and suggest that tracking daily steps can serve as a practical metric for health guidelines. Even taking 4,000 steps daily can yield health benefits. Dive deeper into the implications of this research.

Mystery Surrounds Mild U.S. Bird Flu Cases

Despite the historically severe nature of the H5N1 bird flu virus, recent cases in the U.S. have been relatively mild, with only one reported death out of 70 cases. A new study suggests that immunity from the 2009 H1N1 pandemic virus may offer cross-protection against H5N1, potentially reducing the severity of illness. While experts are intrigued by this theory, not all are convinced. Explore the latest insights from STAT’s Helen Branswell on this perplexing phenomenon.
