Needle-Free Flu Shot
From NBC News -
Needle-Free Flu Vaccine Patch Works as Well as a Shot
by MAGGIE FOX
A press-on patch that delivers flu vaccine painlessly worked as well as an old-fashioned flu shot with no serious side effects, researchers reported Tuesday.
People who tried out the patch said it was not difficult or painful to use, and tests of their blood suggested the vaccine it delivers created about the same immune response as a regular flu shot, the team reported in the Lancet medical journal.

Fake Cover
An excerpt from the Hill -
Time asks Trump Organization to remove fake cover from golf clubs
BY OLIVIA BEAVERS
Time magazine has asked the Trump Organization to remove copies of a fake cover of President Trump that were on display at the company’s golf clubs, The Washington Post reported Tuesday afternoon.
The request came after the newspaper reported that at least four Trump-branded golf clubs had displayed a fake Time magazine cover that depicted Trump with the headline “Donald Trump: The ‘Apprentice’ is a television smash!”
The cover, dated March 1, 2009, was never published by the magazine at any point, a spokeswoman for Time confirmed.
