Flu activity in the United States has declined for the second week and a row, suggesting levels have peaked, though hospitalizations and other markers remain high and deaths in kids are nearing 100, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said today in its latest weekly update.
Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has paused a multimillion-dollar contract from the Biden administration to create a new COVID-19 vaccine, Fox News Digital has learned.
"While it is crucial that the Department [of] Health and Human Services (HHS) support pandemic preparedness, four years of the Biden administration’s failed oversight have made it necessary to review agreements for vaccine production, including Vaxart’s," Kennedy said in comments provided to Fox News Digital on Tuesday.
Regions 10 (Alaska, Washington, Oregon and Idaho), seven (Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri), five (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana and Ohio) and three (Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, Delaware and Maryland) had the highest test positivity.
