remember that two things can happen at the same time without one causing the other. (But maybe put the scissors down while you’re distracted.)

You might’ve heard someone say that the flu vaccine makes you more likely to get sick. That’s a myth. Here are the facts: 🩹 Flu vaccines use an inactivated virus or a single flu protein, which cannot cause the flu. 💪 The flu vaccine keeps your immune system strong during virus season. That’s key when other illnesses are spreading. (Cough, cough: COVID-19, colds, and RSV.) 👎 What *does* weaken your immune system? A flu infection. It’s not too late for a flu vaccine—or to recommit to a New Year’s resolution. Get your vaccine from your pharmacy, doctor’s office, or local health department. #2026Goals

The HPV vaccine is one of only two vaccines that prevent cancer. (For the curious minds: The other is the hepatitis B vaccine, which prevents liver cancer?and scientists are developing others.) HPV causes several types of cancer. Almost everyone will be exposed to HPV, which is why everyone needs the HPV vaccine. Vaccination is recommended at age 11 or 12, but people can get it at age 9 or later to catch up. The HPV vaccine is one more way to protect your?or your child?s?future health. #CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth
