Public health never stops evolving! Our HHS Team members attended the Massachusetts Health Officers Association (MHOA) Annual Conference in Springfield, MA this week. The conference is dedicated to local public health professionals to network and participate in workshops.

Navigating AI in public health, and breaking down the Cannabis Control Commission’s regulations on social consumption establishments were two of the high-profile sessions.

Have you heard about the RSV vaccine? Do you have questions?

Every year during flu season, RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) also makes an appearance.

RSV is a common respiratory virus that infects the nose, throat, and lungs. It often causes symptoms similar to the flu. While it doesn't usually cause severe illness in healthy adults and children, it can have a severe impact on infants and older adults.

The good news: there is an effective vaccine that can reduce the risk of severe illness due to RSV!

There are options for older adults, pregnant people, and infants so check out the links for more information and make a plan to talk to your doctor about the RSV vaccination!
