My favorite moment from our BWH ID in Primary Care course today: In her fantastic talk on CAP, my dear friend and colleague, Mary Montgomery, threw some shade at trainees for overzealous ordering of procalcitonin. At BWH they would NEVER. Right Paul Sax @BrighamChiefs Jake Johnson ?

Students in MA required to get flu shot this year. This is the kind of policy that can make a huge impact on public health. Let's hope that 1) other states follow suit and 2) this requirement sticks in subsequent years. Josh Barocas, MD Saad B. Omer bostonglobe.com/2020/08/19/met…
