emeritrix<p>Folks, if you or you kids can get ANY vaccines or boosters that they will need, get them NOW. I think they will first target HPV, so definitely make sure your kids get that. They can give the first dose at 9. And you are eligible until you are 45. Also, if you are Gen X and might only have had one dose of measles vaccine (was the standard for a while) or if you might have missed the MMR at any point, GO GET ONE TODAY. You CAN ask your doctor to titer you, which is fine, but if you don't have time or medical insurance, you can also just go get the vaccine. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Vax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Vax</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://apnews.com/article/childhood-vaccines-schedule-kennedy-trump-hhs-4d5e6c52c602f5edbcd837748605e9d0" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">apnews.com/article/childhood-v</span><span class="invisible">accines-schedule-kennedy-trump-hhs-4d5e6c52c602f5edbcd837748605e9d0</span></a></p>
