Description
This podcast highlights three updates: Moderna’s Spikevax COVID-19 vaccine is now fully FDA-approved for high-risk children 6 months to 11 years, though rare myocarditis remains a concern. A large study found first-trimester TMP-SMX antibiotics increase congenital malformation risks compared to β-lactams, reinforcing β-lactams as safer. Finally, a trial showed no cardiovascular benefit from taking blood pressure medication at bedtime versus morning dosing.
