Routine vaccinations offered to adults may help protect against dementia, recent research has shown.
California and other Western states reject CDC’s scaled-back vaccine guidance, pledging to follow full immunization schedule for kids.
Bayer's Monsanto sued COVID-19 vaccine makers Pfizer, BioNTech and Moderna in Delaware federal court on Tuesday for allegedly misusing its messenger RNA technology in manufacturing their vaccines, a Bayer spokesperson confirmed.
