Neighbor Tuesday: How can I help?
Like a good neighbor, I want to see how I can help you all more! Also, there’s so much happening in the world and here in the US. Am I right? Sometimes it’s hard to know what to focus on that would be most helpful to you all. I really want this to be a helpful space, so now I need to hear from you. So, do you all want more on measles, global health events, politics and public health, pictures of my dogs, my favorite nachos (yes, always!).
How can I help?
What kind of posts (free and personal) do you want? Clergy, is there anything I can do to help you in your congregations?
If you have 60 seconds, can you do this super quick, 5-question survey (anonymous) for me? I’d love to hear from you all!
Happy nearly-spring, neighbors!

Plans for 2025-26 flu vaccines have 3 strains for egg based vaccines (FluZone and most others) and 3 strains for recombinant vaccine (FluBlok) BUT two of the three strains are different than the egg based vaccine.
Recombinant vaccines can be adjusted faster than egg based vaccines, so last minute adjustments of one strain have been made in the past for FluBlok. But this is March and the initial recommendation.
Why ?
