Health officials in Washington state are celebrating the clean bill of health for one particularly notable resident: the woman who refused to isolate and get treatment for her active case of infectious tuberculosis for over a year. She even spent around three months on the lam, dodging police as they tried to execute a civil arrest warrant. During her time as a fugitive, police memorably reported that she took a city bus to go to a casino.

Additionally, scientists discovered that long COVID was more likely to occur after a first infection compared to a reinfection.

Health safety is a big factor when traveling, even if it doesn’t always come up in conversation. While people may assume that they are always safe when abroad, that may not always be the case. Going to unfamiliar places sometimes means encountering unfamiliar illnesses or health risks. This is something to be conscious of, especially since illnesses can have scary symptoms, have variants, and resurge. One example is the recently confirmed case of a sickness from the early Renaissance era in the United States, the bubonic plague.

In May 2023, the FDA licensed two vaccines to prevent respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) lower respiratory tract disease in adults aged 60 and above. According to a report from the CDC, RSV infection poses a significant risk to this age group and often leads to severe respiratory illness, hospitalization, and death. Surveillance from August 2023 to April 2024 indicated a higher-than-expected incidence of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) following vaccination, with 5.0 and 1.5 cases per million doses for the two vaccines, respectively, the report states. Despite this, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends RSV vaccination for adults aged 60 and older. The CDC and FDA are conducting ongoing population-based surveillance to further evaluate the risks of GBS and other adverse events, aiming to provide updated guidance for future ACIP recommendations.
