CDC says Waiting 8 Weeks between COVID-19 Vaccines may Lower Myocarditis Risk for Some

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that actually extending the time between the first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccines may help reduce the risk of the rare heart-related side effects for some. The new guidance mainly affects Americans who aren't fully vaccinated against COVID-19—that amounts to roughly 35% of the US population right now. At this point, only about 23% have not received a first dose of any vaccine. […]

New Research says some IUDs may help Prevent Pregnancy better than Tubal Ligation Surgery

Tubal ligation—sometimes known as female sterilization or "getting your tubes tied"—and IUDs have similar purposes: to prevent pregnancy in the long term, either permanently or for multiple years. Up until now, tubal ligation was considered the most effective method, sort of "the gold standard." But now, as Health magazine reports, according to research published this month, tubal ligation may not be as effective as using some intrauterine devices (IUDs). The findings […]

How Often should you Clean your Sheets and Pillows?

Keeping sheets fresh is no easy feat. No matter how frequently (or, let's be honest—infrequently) you wash them, that fresh-out-of-the-dryer feeling tends to fade after the first few sleeps in-between the sheets. General laundry rules exist for just about every other piece of fabric in your home, but there seems to be a common thread of confusion when it comes to washing sheets. The average person doesn’t change their bed […]

FDA to Allow ‘Mix and Match’ COVID Boosters, so before you get your Booster, Which One Should You Choose?

If you've been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, is it OK to switch to a different manufacturer's product for your booster dose? If you ask the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA), the answer is yes. Under a newly announced "mix-and-match" strategy, people who got a Pfizer Bio N Tech, Moderna, or Johnson & Johnson (J&J)/Janssen COVID vaccine may switch to another brand's booster. After reviewing available data, the FDA concluded that […]

“COVID Toes” may be a sign of an Overactive Immune Response to the Virus

Since the pandemic began, some unusual symptoms have been linked with COVID-19. One of the most surprising is so-called "COVID toes"—a red or purplish rash or raised bumps typically on the tips of the toes. Experts have been unsure about whether COVID toes were actually linked to COVID-19 (or just some odd coincidence in some patients), and it hasn't made any official list of COVID symptoms. But now, new research […]

It’s Flu Season, but the Pandemic is still the #1 Priority. Is it OK to get the Flu Shot and COVID-19 Vaccine at the same time?

Health magazine reports that, not only is it safe to get both shots at the same time, experts like Cassandra M. Pierre, MD, MPH, an infectious disease physician and medical director of public health programs at Boston Medical Center, actually recommend doubling up if you haven't had either vaccine yet or you're due for your second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine to help prevent the spread of both diseases in […]

Is It Safe to Hang Out with Unvaccinated Friends and Family?

If you enthusiastically vaxxed up partly out of a desire to be social again, you wouldn't be alone—catching up friends in real life is one of the perks of COVID-19 vaccination. But after a promising start, vaccination rates in the US seem to have stalled, and now the highly infectious Delta variant is fueling an increase in outbreaks, particularly in under-vaccinated areas of the country. What does the current situation mean for Sunday […]

Blood Clots: What You Should Know

Heart attack, stroke, pulmonary embolism—all three medical emergencies happen in different parts of the body, and yet they have something in common: They can all be caused by a blood clot. Blood clots have been in the news lately, after the CDC put a temporary pause on use of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine when six women developed a cerebral venous blood clot after receiving the shot.  According to the National Blood Clot […]
