Standard message rates may apply.The flu vaccine is our best defense against influenza, a contagious respiratory virus that causes millions of illnesses and thousands of deaths in the US each year. Despite being only 40-60% effective, the vaccine significantly reduces hospitalizations, outpatient visits, and deaths while protecting vulnerable populations who cannot be vaccinated.• Influenza causes 9-41 million illnesses, 140,000-960,000 hospitalizations, and 12,000-80,000 deaths annually in the US• Everyone aged six months and older should receive the flu vaccine yearly• The vaccine must be updated annually because the flu virus changes each year• Getting vaccinated helps protect vulnerable populations like infants and immunocompromised individuals• Common misconception that the vaccine causes flu is false – it cannot give you the flu• Only 40-46% of Americans get the flu vaccine annually despite its proven benefits• The best time to get vaccinated is before flu season begins, but getting it later still helps• Flu vaccination reduces strain on hospitals during peak seasonsGo get your flu shot today!

Host: Jennifer Caudle, DO Guest: Blen Girmay, MD Because standard-dose vaccines usually produce only modest immunogenic responses in people age 65 years and older, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, as of June 2022, recommended this age group receive either an adjuvanted or higher-dose seasonal influenza vaccine.1,2,3 A pragmatic, head-to-head randomized study compared FLUAD and the high-dose influenza vaccine over the course of two influenza seasons.2 Joining Dr. Jennifer Caudle to discuss this study and its findings from the first season (2023-2024) is Dr. Blen Girmay, a Johns Hopkins fellowship-trained primary care geriatrician at Inova Health System in Fairfax, Virginia.

Immune Imprinting and Vaccines: Rethinking the First Exposure to Influenza

Medical Industry Feature

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 15, 2025


Immune imprinting refers to how the immune system's first encounter with a virus, such as influenza, leaves a lasting imprint that shapes future immune responses.1,2 However, influenza vaccines may affect this process—particularly when egg-based ones are used.

A Special Agent with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for over 20 years, Ed Newcomer worked in Los Angeles in a variety of international posts before retiring in 2022. During his career, he conducted numerous high-profile international wildlife trafficking investigations involving every continent, including Antarctica, and is known for bringing down some of our planet's most notorious wildlife criminals. He is a recipient of the Humane Law Enforcement Award from the Humane Society of the United States and holds a record six Law Enforcement Awards from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles. Listeners can learn more about Ed Newcomer on his podcast - Nature’s Secret Service, and on LinkedIn @EdNewcomer In February 2004, an Idaho hiking trail became a deadly crime scene when 58 elk-meat “meatballs” laced with a lethal pesticide were scattered in a known wolf habitat. The suspect’s goal? Kill endangered gray wolves. What followed was an extraordinary, boots-in-the-snow investigation involving forensics, environmental science, and sheer tenacity. In this episode of Zone 7, Crime Scene Investigator, Sheryl McCollum, and Ed Newcomer, a retired special agent with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, walk us through the forensic lab breakthroughs that tied the poison, the elk meat, and even a suspect’s boots directly to the scene. Along the way, you'll hear how a rookie game warden’s decision to bag “yellow snow” ended up sealing the case. If you’re heading to CrimeCon, don't miss Sheryl and Ed on the main stage for Creator’s Row. They’ll be covering another unbelievable wildlife crime case live and in person. Y’all are gonna want a front-row seat!

Le zanzare producono sempre più preoccupazione per la sanità pubblica. L'aumento delle aree colpite da West Nile, il verificarsi ormai costante di casi autoctoni di dengue e chikungunya, fanno riflettere sugli effetti che i cambiamenti climatici ed il sempre maggiore movimento di uomini e merci possono avere sulla salute. Dopo aver sconfitto la malaria con la scomparsa delle zanzare anofeli dal nostro territorio pensavamo che la partita fosse chiusa. Invece è più che mai aperta. La presenza di zanzare Aedes (la zanzara tigre) rendono possibile lo stabilirsi di malattie da sempre considerate "tropicali". Ovviamente la domanda da un milione di dollari è: possono le zanzare avere un ruolo in una prossima pandemia? Le pandemie hanno da sempre accompagnato la storia dell'uomo, ma la frequenza con cui oggi si verificano non ha precedenti. Di zanzare e pandemie parleremo in questa puntata del podcast.

He is the Associate Director of the Meakins-Christie Laboratories and the Associate Director of the McGill Interna onal TB Centre. He is an internationally recognized pulmonary immunologist and the overarching focus of his research program is to inves gate the regulatory mechanisms involved in host resistance and disease tolerance against major pulmonary bacterial (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) and viral (influenza virus and SARS-CoV2) pathogens. He is currently inves ga ng how to harness the power of innate memory response (Trained Immunity) in vaccine development.

In the Season one finale of our show, hosts Dr. Vivian Vega and Dr. Jackie Sherbuk reflect on the evolving landscape of infectious diseases and public health. Yet rather than linger on setbacks, they look ahead, posing the critical question: “What are the future pandemic threats?”To explore what transforms a simple pathogen into a global threat, they examine three key characteristics: transmission, virulence, and available countermeasures.Transmission, it turns out, must strike a delicate balance. A virus must spread efficiently—fast enough to infect large populations, but not so aggressively that it incapacitates or kills its host before passing to the next person. Similarly, a pathogen that is too virulent may burn out quickly, unable to spread widely before its hosts succumb. As for countermeasures, their availability and effectiveness vary. Influenza, for instance, can be treated with antivirals, while diseases like Nipah virus remain without effective therapies.At the time of this recording, H5N1 avian influenza stands out as a pressing concern. Dr. Vega reveals a startling fact: domestic cats may serve as an unexpected intermediary host, offering a new pathway for H5N1 to bridge the gap to humans. It's a reminder of how creatively and unpredictably pathogens can bypass traditional barriers.Dr. Sherbuk turns to Ebola as a striking example of how sheer virulence can catapult a disease to global attention. Past outbreaks in Africa overwhelmed health systems, exploiting cultural practices like burial rituals to fuel its spread. Even the limited number of U.S. cases during the 2014 outbreak stirred widespread public fear, driven by the virus's high mortality rate abroad.Not all dangerous pathogens are highly lethal. Some, like Zika virus, pose serious risks in specific populations—such as fetal abnormalities in pregnant women. Others, like HTLV-1, may cause chronic illnesses like leukemia and lymphoma.While many pathogens naturally evolve to become less lethal—thereby enhancing their chances of transmission—some mutate unpredictably, becoming more dangerous. This is the ongoing concern with influenza: a seemingly mild strain could shift into something far deadlier.The importance of countermeasures cannot be overstated. Yet in the aftermath of COVID-19, global readiness has been undermined by pandemic fatigue and the politicization of public health. Mistrust in vaccines, fractured health policy, and diminished international cooperation all threaten our capacity to respond to the next crisis.But what if the next pandemic comes from a direction we didn't anticipate?Scientists have a name for this uncertainty: “Disease X.” The World Health Organization coined the term as a placeholder for the unknown. COVID-19 was once Disease X—until it had a name. The next one could emerge from zoonotic spillovers like HIV or Nipah, climate change, laboratory accidents, or even bioterrorism.Whatever its origin, our best defense lies in robust surveillance, scientific agility, and global collaboration. Because the question isn't if Disease X will come—but whether we'll be ready when it does.Dr Vega would like to thank her friend Job Meiller for his musical contribution to our segment breaks. Thank you Job!Thanks also to Dr. Ana Velez, our artistic contributor, for her painting, "The Multivirus Pandemic Explosion," used in our episode thumbnail.
