Hello,

Business Insider has selected the 30 leaders under 40 who are working to transform US healthcare.
These business leaders, scientists, doctors, and entrepreneurs are confronting a pandemic and systemic racism in the industry.
Those included are involved in everything from the development of coronavirus vaccines and treatments to new approaches to doctor's offices and women's health.

A third of American parents don't plan to vaccinate their kids against the flu, according to a new poll from the National Poll on Children's Health.
Experts have warned that this year's flu season and the coronavirus pandemic could overwhelm healthcare systems and spark a further public health crisis in the US.
CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield previously encouraged people to get their flu shots, warning in an interview with WebMD that this "could be the worst fall from a public health perspective we've ever had."

The cumulative rate of coronavirus infections among kids has risen from 2.2% in April to 10% by mid-September, a new report has found.
Increased testing is an unlikely cause, since testing rates among children have remained stable since the pandemic's outbreak.
Kids still are less likely to become seriously ill from COVID-19 than adults, and younger kids in particular seem less likely to spread it.
But the dramatic increase in pediatric cases underscores the importance of schools and communities implementing multiple strategies to keep students, staffers, and community members safe.
