ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

The rate of confirmed #influenza hospitalisations in the United States is the highest in at least 15 seasons (as far as Report data extends).
Latest data from US CDC to end of Week 6 (08-FEB-2025). That's a week ago of course.
