Year in review, California Department of public health. With the erosion of trust in the ACIP and other federal agencies, state public health departments have an important role in providing guidance on vaccination. Do others in #TxID have a state resource you can rely on? @ast-idcop.bsky.social

IDSA congratulates the 272 adult physicians who matched today into an adult infectious diseases fellowship!🎉#WeAreID

Support immigrants under attack on this Giving Tuesday. With the regime escalating its attacks on immigrant communities, we’re encouraging you to support the Defending Our Neighbors Fund. Help families caught up in our increasingly draconian immigration system get the legal assistance they deserve.

What are #TxID #IDSky folks doing with invasive Fusarium infections 🌱 in stem cell patients- do you routinely send susceptibility testing ? 🤔@drfungus.bsky.social @fungaldoc.bsky.social @ast-ldcop.bsky.social @idsainfo.bsky.social @escmid.bsky.social ? Let me know your thoughts!!

Hepatitis B vaccination is so important for #TxID - it would be a real loss for public health as a whole as well as future transplant candidates to lose out on this opportunity for universal vaccination - please comment on this ACIP proposal! @ast-idcop.bsky.social

Did someone say Donation Derby? Our 2025 fundraiser is now open. Support the IDCOP by allocating the donation to us. If we hit 10% participation we get to keep 75% of funds for IDCOP! www.myast.org/donationderby

Less doubt mongering.👎 More facts. 👍 COVID Vaccines Still Effective, Study www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdi... Effectiveness: - 29.3% against emergency department visits - 39.2% against hospitalizations - 64% against deaths "Vaccines were effective across age groups"

Dimitrios P. Kontoyiannis, MD, MS, ScD, PhD, FIDSA, will present this year’s Joseph E. Smadel Lecture, “Studying a Lethal Fungus: My 25 Year Journey in Mucormycosis Research.” See Dr. Kontoyiannis present at #IDWeek2025. Register: https://idweek.org/registration

Recent changes to vaccine recommendations are creating unnecessary confusion for families and providers. When decades-old policies change without new safety data, it undermines the stability that pediatricians and parents rely on. www.healthline.com/health-news/...

Great to see this work be published, it has been such a wonderful opportunity to be involved with the #IMPACC network - these important findings re immune response to #COVID will be useful for future pandemics especially for vulnerable populations @ast-idcop.bsky.social @niaidnews.bsky.social

Excellent read from @danielleofri.bsky.social on the reality for clinicians as NIH, CDC, FDA recs are put under political controls: “Medical professionals can no longer fully trust federal health guidance, and our patients are the ones who will suffer the most.” www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/o...
