Top US medical groups issued joint guidelines urging updated flu and COVID vaccines this fall, explicitly aiming to counter confusion from the Trump administration's inconsistent advice. The FDA has approved new vaccine versions, and RSV season is also arriving.

Doctors push back on vaccine confusion
Top medical groups are trying to cut through the noise around fall vaccines, issuing joint recommendations as the Trump administration's inconsistent messaging sows doubt. Meanwhile, a hospital cyberattack forces patient reroutes, and a coroner's inquest links an infant death to housing instability.
Vaccine clarity push
Leading medical organizations are stepping in where federal messaging has faltered, issuing unified guidance on fall shots.
Senator Jon Ossoff is pressing the CDC director to restore maternal and infant health programs that were slashed last spring. It's a political push to reverse cuts, not just a request for more funding.
Care disrupted
Two stories today show how fragile access to care can be, whether from a cyberattack or a housing crisis.
A cyberattack on Luminus Health forced Anne Arundel Medical Center to cancel treatments and reroute patients, including a cancer patient whose radiation therapy was delayed. The hospital hasn't detailed the breach's scope yet.
A coroner's inquest found that a six-week-old Aboriginal baby died from sudden unexpected death after her mother was evicted from crisis accommodation and forced to sleep on the floor of an overcrowded house. Multiple outlets are covering this as a stark example of housing instability's health consequences.
