A study by King’s College London found that feeding peanut butter to babies from infancy until age 5 can reduce the risk of developing peanut allergies by 71% up to age 13. This research, part of the LEAP-Trio study, suggests that early and regular peanut consumption can provide long-term protection against peanut allergies, even if peanut consumption is discontinued after age 5.
A new study published in Pediatrics has found that the HPV vaccine, Gardasil 9, continues to be effective in reducing cancer risk associated with the nation's most common sexually transmitted infection. The study followed nearly 1,300 people vaccinated between the ages of 9 and 15 for 10 years and found that the vaccine provided long-term protection against the nine strains of HPV it targets. The research adds to growing evidence of the vaccine's efficacy, with HPV infections dropping significantly since its introduction in 2006. The study suggests that booster shots may not be necessary at this time.
