With a single case of paralytic polio detected in Rockland County, New York, and the virus showing up in wastewater samples in two counties in the state, as well as New York City, health officials say polio is likely circulating undetected. https://t.co/OxrqxcNny4
Another good dissertation progress meeting with my committee on another beautiful day & My 1st time hosting a meeting in the EPI conference room and that felt great! Special thanks to my daughter for the sticker decorations on my notebook to remind me what’s most important❤️
Late-stage cervical cancers are rising, especially in the South. While this article mentions getting routine Pap and HPV tests it’s important to note WE ALSO HAVE A VACCINE THAT PREVENTS CERVICAL CANCER!!! Even more reason to get the #HPVVaccine. Vaccination can begin at age 9!
The O'Neal Cancer Center, home to UAB's cancer program, was named high performing in U.S. News & World Report's 2022-2023 list of Best Hospitals.
