Hospital admissions for Covid in Northern Ireland surge by 50% due to ‘American Covid’ trib.al/Zsu4WIh

Sweden has procured Novavax (distributed by Sanofi) as its sole COVID-19 vaccine for the 2027/2028 season, effectively moving away from mRNA platforms. Sweden is the first country in the world to make this exclusive shift. Reasoning for the Change: The Swedish government favored Nuvaxovid because it relies on traditional, well-established protein technology (similar to long-standing vaccines for Hepatitis B and HPV) and offers easier storage and handling requirements compared to mRNA vaccines. Policy Adjustments for Younger Groups: Sweden previously advised against using Nuvaxovid for people under 30 due to historical concerns over myocarditis and pericarditis. However, representatives from the Public Health Agency (Folkhälsomyndigheten) stated that those specific heart inflammation concerns are no longer viewed the same way. The agency has lifted the age restriction well ahead of the Autumn 2027 rollout so the vaccine can be used broadly across eligible groups There are strong hints regarding which countries might follow. Japan is the most likely candidate to heavily favor @Novavax or heavily reduce its reliance on mRNA. Under the commercial leadership of Takeda, Nuvaxovid successfully climbed to become the second-most used COVID-19 vaccine in the country during the 2025–2026 season. Given the strong public infrastructure already established by Takeda for protein-based distribution, Japan remains a prime market for continuous non-mRNA adoption. Germany and Canada: Public health agencies in these regions are actively framing @Novavax not just as a "niche backup" for people who refuse mRNA, but as a mainstream, peer-level choice for standard autumn booster campaigns. Historically, the Nordic cluster (Denmark, Norway, and Finland) acts in close coordination with Sweden regarding vaccine logistics, safety assessments, and procurement. When Sweden paused Moderna for youth in 2021, the neighboring Nordic nations instituted nearly identical policies within days. Because Sweden’s Public Health Agency cited simpler storage requirements and a highly stable, well-understood traditional technology as major drivers, its neighbors are under close scrutiny to see if they will share the same procurement preferences. lakemedelsvarlden.se/myndigh… $NVAX $mrna $SNY

He is extremely intelligent and high energy, and needs to expend energy constructively with interactive play sessions 3-4X/day. In addition to playtime, this cat would also benefit from mental exercise from activities such as puzzle toys/games, lick mats, or clicker training. Without providing activity for his mind and body, the cat may react with rough play, potentially resulting in bite/scratch incidents. - This designation often means that the cat will be given very little time for rescue/foster/adoption.🔥🔥🔥🔥 I love to be loved, but on my own terms! Let's brush up on some feline body language together! A volunteer writes: Milo wants to be part of the action, he just isn't always sure how to explain that to people. This is relatable and I feel for him. He's a go, go, go, go kind of cat who wants to do all this going at his own pace. Milo's improved quite a bit since coming to us and seems characteristically eager to demonstrate this through repeatedly leaping off his den with a flourish. Since I wasn't entirely sure where Milo was going with this, I offered a pipe cleaner feather, which happily kept his interest for a few moments before he decided nuzzles were better. Then he decided that it was probably best to see the town, as it were, leaning his whole little cat self over my arm in his efforts to get just a tiny bit better view. Milo's hoping to see and be seen, which though it might be easier said than done for a shelter cat such as himself, is hoping to be seen by you. ❤️ 😻❤️ 😻❤️ 😻 NEEDS OUT OF SHELTER ASAP – Please RT or pledge, if you can, to save this little one. @AdamsPaulGrimke @mehser12 💔😿🙏Thank you

Along with overstimulation, she is now displaying signs of frustration and deterioration, swatting and hissing upon approach and being minimally open to interaction. This designation often means that the cat will be given very little time for rescue/foster/adoption.🔥🔥🔥🔥 What my friends at ACC say about me: 👑 Meet Princess Leia! ✨🐾 Princess Leia is a playful little queen with a personality all her own! This beautiful girl knows what she likes-and playtime is definitely at the top of the list. Give her a feather wand, mouse, ball, or toy dancer and prepare to watch her pounce, bat, kick, toss, roll, and genuinely have the time of her life! 🧸💕 Leia also enjoys the finer things in life, including tasty treats, cozy lounging, and the occasional head scratch from her favorite humans. She'll happily come to the front of her kennel to say hello, solicit attention, and accept treats. Like any true princess, Leia has her boundaries. She prefers short interactions and appreciates having the freedom to decide when she's ready for more attention. If she becomes overstimulated, she may let you know with a swat or by walking away. Giving her space when she asks for it is the best way to earn her trust, and she may surprise you by coming right back when she's ready! 👑 Leia needs a little time to settle into a new home and get comfortable with her people. She would do best with an experienced adopter who understands feline body language and is happy to let her relationship develop at her own pace. An adult-only home would likely be the perfect kingdom for this independent girl. If you're looking for a playful, spirited cat with a royal attitude and plenty of personality, Princess Leia is ready to meet you today. Bring treats! 💕🐱✨ A volunteer writes: Princess Leia is a sweet, beautiful girl, only about 3 years old. She is friendly and playful but from my interaction would do best with someone who really "gets" cats and can read their body language. Leia enjoys meeting new people however I could tell that she may get a bit overstimulated at times, although my interaction with her was very positive. I can't blame her for wanting someone who understands her, don't we all?❤️ 😻❤️ 😻❤️ 😻 NEEDS OUT OF SHELTER ASAP – Please RT or pledge, if you can, to save this little one. @AdamsPaulGrimke 💔😿🙏Thank you
