Here’s a nice brief summary of all the recent CDC, ACIP vaccine updates cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/…

Thanks, Jodian Pinkney - very interesting work that informs how we should consider and plan our vaccination education efforts.

Happy to share our new solid organ transplant & CMV educational video made with ⁦Emily Blumberg⁩ ⁦Yoichiro Natori⁩ Michael Green and Debbie Levine with support from Kamada - we answer lots of cutting edge questions cmvstream.com

⁦1+⁩ and I are proud to share our work that just came out today – in 2022, 7.4% of surveyed Americans reported being immunocompromised. We review rates of vaccinations: far too low overall, especially pneumococcal. Much improvement needed. academic.oup.com/ofid/advance-a…

Covid-19 wastewater update just landed. And, holy crap! There is a whole lot of virus out there. This summer infection wave is pretty impressive. Glad to see hospitalizations remaining low due to immunity.

Excited to have the newest version published - appreciate the teamwork with many including ⁦Raymund Razonable⁩ ⁦Dr Roy Chemaly ⁦Yoichiro Natori⁩ - Consensus Definitions of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Infection and Disease in Transplant Patients academic.oup.com/cid/advance-ar…
