Usually not. Under current CDC guidance, most babies born at least 14 days after maternal RSV vaccination do not also need an RSV antibody after birth, though a few exceptions exist.
Not everyone on Medicaid will have to meet the new federal 80-hour monthly requirement. Here is who the rule mainly targets, who may be exempt, when states can begin, and what people can do now to protect coverage.
If you have recalled Nara infant formula at home, stop using it, set it aside, and check the FDA recall details. Parents should watch infants for botulism signs such as constipation, weak feeding, poor head control, and a weak cry, and seek urgent care right away for trouble breathing, swallowing, or marked weakness.
For many people, yes—but the exact rules depend on your insurance. CDC says many non-grandfathered private plans still have to cover ACIP-recommended vaccines without cost sharing, and Medicare also covers important vaccines, though the benefit depends on whether the shot falls under Part B or Part D. Federal policy changes this year make it smart to check coverage before summer or fall shots.
Yes, but only through a temporary CMS Medicare GLP-1 Bridge and only for some Medicare Part D beneficiaries. The program is scheduled to run from July 1, 2026, through December 31, 2027, and the $50 monthly copay does not work like normal Part D spending.
A May 2026 Cochrane review found that PSA screening likely prevents a small number of prostate-cancer deaths, but current U.S. guidance still favors shared decision-making for men 55 to 69 rather than routine testing for everyone.
CMS’s new rule puts Medicaid work requirements on track by January 1, 2027 in 43 states and DC. In rural areas, missed notices, long travel for care, and state-by-state hardship rules may matter as much as the 80-hour standard.
Stop using recalled Nara Organics infant formula right away. Unopened cans can be returned or discarded; for opened cans, save the lot number and use-by date, consider keeping the can labeled “DO NOT USE” for up to a month, and watch for symptoms that need immediate care.
For many U.S. families, yes. As of June 20, 2026, the May 29 White House order did not itself end no-cost childhood vaccine coverage, though billing and program details can still vary by plan, provider, and state.
A new federal screen-use warning says parents should watch for sleep problems, mood changes, hiding use, failed cutbacks, and screen time crowding out school, chores, or in-person life.
A June 2026 trial found metformin missed its main test for preventing post-COVID symptoms, though a secondary clinician-diagnosed long-COVID signal was lower. CDC and IDSA still center vaccination and timely antiviral treatment for higher-risk patients.
Yes. As of June 18, 2026, the recall covers all Clover Hill Dairy brand cheese currently on the market, not just requesón and soft ricotta. Here is how to check what you bought, what symptoms matter, and when to call a clinician.
A June 2026 recall of Nara Organics infant formula is tied to a botulism outbreak. Here is what parents should do now and which symptoms need urgent care.
Measles is rising in the United States and around the world. Before international travel, check whether every traveler in your household is age-appropriately protected with MMR.
The American Cancer Society now includes a blood-based colon cancer screening option, but for older adults on Medicare it is not a true stand-in for colonoscopy. Coverage has strict rules, colonoscopy is still better at finding precancerous growths, and a positive blood test still means follow-up colonoscopy.
CDC and FDA officials say parents should stop using recalled Nara Organics infant formula, watch exposed babies for botulism symptoms for a month, and get urgent care if an infant develops feeding trouble, weakness, or breathing problems.
Federal officials have warned more than 500 hospitals since April as CMS enforces updated 2026 price-transparency rules. The posted data may help with planned care shopping, but it still is not the same as your personal out-of-pocket cost.
If your Omnipod 5, Omnipod DASH, or Omnipod Eros pod is on the May 26, 2026 FDA correction list, FDA says to stop using it and change it right away. Check the lot number, watch for signs of high blood sugar or diabetic ketoacidosis, and seek urgent care if symptoms suggest insulin is not getting through.
June can bring a shift from spring tree pollen to grass pollen in many parts of the United States. Here is how to tell likely allergy symptoms from a cold, when pollen may be aggravating asthma, and what practical steps may help now.
The FDA has approved the first U.S. treatment for chronic hepatitis D. For people living with hepatitis B, that makes this a practical time to ask whether hepatitis D testing was ever done.
A new 2026 study found higher rates of hypertension among people with higher exposure to some food preservatives. Here is what the research found, what it did not prove, and how U.S. readers can use labels more effectively.
Not everyone on Medicaid will face the new 80-hour rule in 2027. Here is who may have to meet it, who may be exempt, and why paperwork could matter as much as work.
