Measles, mumps, tetanus and other life threatening illnesses have been reduced by more than 95% (Meadows 1). Despite all the success and…

promote the vaccine. The success rates need to be developed into to fully understand the different variables in comparison to the study’s rate. In another journal by the CDC, “[t]he overall vaccine effectiveness (VE) against laboratory confirmed influenza associated with medically attended ARI [Acute Respiratory Illness] was 23%” (Early Estimates).

Investigators are studying whether older islanders acquire more breathing difficulties caused by having a…

Canine influenza, or CIV for short, is an emerging pathogen that produces an acute respiratory infection in dogs. Originally, the hosts of the influenza virus were equine and avian animals who then passed the virus onto canines (Wang et al. 1). It is highly contagious and has two main causative strains. The H3N2 strain comes from avian animals, and the H3N8 strain comes from equine animals. The H3N2 strain of CIV first appeared in a limited capacity in 2007 in Asia until 2015, when it made…
