The Clade I case involves an individual who recently traveled outside of the United States. The NYC Health Department urges individuals who have sex with men and identify as male, trans, nonbinary, genderqueer or gender nonconforming to get vaccinated.

Bacterial meningitis has become rare in the UK, but small clusters occasionally occur. The outbreak has affected 29 people, killing two, and is labeled 'unprecedented'.

I have been hassling doctors at Derriford Hospital to start. I thought we would be back on Sunday and now I am worried the cancer will get worse because I have not had chemo in time.

Canadian travellers are still unhappy with President Donald Trump, and that's affecting the 2026 outlook of visitors to the US from Canada. In 2025, there was a noticeable travel chill from the US's northern neighbor, following President Donald Trump's quips about the "51st state" and the levying of hefty tariffs. A January survey of more than 1,000 Canadian prospective travelers found that they remain hesitant to travel to the US and would rather support domestic tourism, according to Longwoods International,

If you're based in the United States, you've probably gotten used to government bodies issuing nationwide alerts - including ones that relate to public health. These have, historically, been good ways for health-conscious people to know what to look out for and for regional public health experts to develop strategies to help keep potential outbreaks contained.Unfortunately, now both individuals and institutions are reckoning with a big question: what to do when those warnings are much smaller in number?

The countries selected-including the Bahamas, Jamaica, and Thailand-were deemed "high risk of public benefits usage" by the State Department, according to a statement on Wednesday.

But as the city's Department of Public Health follows Mayor Daniel Lurie's directions to make cuts, they wanted to make one thing clear: safety in the city's medical facilities requires more than just the presence of security personnel. It requires widespread training in de-escalation, working with patients with complex needs, and crisis response, they said. These programs are on the chopping block.

"There are hygienic considerations. I always compare taking off your shoes on a plane to going shoeless on a public bus," Natalia Yepes, an ex-flight attendant and owner of Adventuresque Travel Boutique, shared with Travel + Leisure. "Think about how many people ride it a day. At each stop, the cleaners only have 10 minutes-sometimes less. They are not focusing on germs, but just on keeping the plane looking aesthetically clean (free of crumbs and big debris)."

In some counties, vaccination rates increased after the pandemic, which got them past the recommended level of protection. Many more counties decreased their rates though.
