November 2024  public Service announcement/suggestion
For USA residents...  or anyone who might be planning to visit the USA...

With anti-vaxxer RFK Jr being appointed by tr*mp to become secretary of health ...
Please get whatever vaccines you might need while you still can. 

Who knows what funding may be cut off from needed USA health programs. 
Your insurance company may or may not continue to pay for vaccines. 
Especially if you are low-income. 
Medicaid will likely be impacted.  Who knows about Medicare.

Get vaccines for anything you might need to be vaccinated for. 

Different requirements for different age groups.
Check on needs for your current health/immunocompromised status.
Check on the needs of your older relatives and friends. 
And the needs of any children and teens in your life. 

Check on tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis aka whooping cough,
measles, rubella, mumps, varicella aka chickenpox, shingles,
covid, influenza, RSV, pneumococcal,
HPV, hepatitis, meningitis, polio.
Also possibly per situation/location: dengue fever, mpox.

If you are contemplating travel in the future, even if you're unsure, get whatever vaccines you might need for travel, if you can.

Hey, if we can save even one life by spreading the word, I think it's worth posting this.

Important: This is the CDC website, get all the information you can
https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/
We know that in the prior presidency of tr*mp, a lot of government agency websites were taken down, especially those about climate, so it's possible the CDC website could be impacted.  Get all the info you need NOW while it's still available.

End soapbox/PSA.
