25% of Drs in US are foreign grads. Many are on an H1B visa. This will hit health systems hard especially rural hospitals and hospitals in underserved areas that sponsor these visas through waiver programs. The old cost was about 5000$ a year. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Useful visuals on whether you need a #measles #vaccine (ON & NS). For adults born after 1970, check your own province's guidance as a 2nd dose for kids was started at different times. If you don't know if you had a 2nd dose and can't find a record, just get a 2nd dose!

What is SSPE? Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is one of the most feared complications of measles. It is rare, but always devastating: a progressive, fatal brain disorder that emerges years after a seemingly normal recovery from measles. 🧵 www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
