Exactly, this is important data, but may not be possible to extrapolate to solid organ transplant recipients in terms of length of therapy for bacteremis given they were not included in this group of the immune compromised patients

Both the Slow Horses (Mick Herron) and Dublin Murder Squad (Tana French) series are great, and I also loved Flashlight by Susan Choi, The Guest List by Lucy Foley, None of This Is True by Lisa Jewell , anything by Ruth Ware (like The Woman in Cabin 10)- all guaranteed page turners !

Standing room only at this excellent session on older 🫁 transplants 'is age just a number?' - consensus: look at biological age and frailty rather than chronological age. Given our aging population, choose immunosuppression carefully @lungtxdoc.bsky.social #ISHLT2026 @ishlt.bsky.social

This is great news, makes it much easier to give clear recommendations on protection against RSV when all three FDA-approved RSV vaccines have similar labeling

Year in review, California Department of public health. With the erosion of trust in the ACIP and other federal agencies, state public health departments have an important role in providing guidance on vaccination. Do others in #TxID have a state resource you can rely on? @ast-idcop.bsky.social

Hepatitis B vaccination is so important for #TxID - it would be a real loss for public health as a whole as well as future transplant candidates to lose out on this opportunity for universal vaccination - please comment on this ACIP proposal! @ast-idcop.bsky.social
