In COVID-19, Latest News by Precision Vaccinations

Since the start of 2023, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has received ten reports of Plasmodium vivax malaria cases treated in Los Angeles, California.
This uptick in LA was not forecasted, as only 2 cases of P. vivax were reported from 2016 to 2022.
The CDC revealed on May 6, 2024, that these individuals had probably traveled from Panama's Darién Gap through Central America and Mexico before arriving in LA.
