Researchers found that vaccine hesitancy is more common among patients who seek information from the media and the internet. Factors such as social media algorithms, anti-vaccine tweets, and conspiracy theories drive patients’ hesitancy. Physicians recommend shared decision-making to address this issue, emphasizing the importance of understanding patients’ perspectives and building trust through storytelling. In another study, daily tapinarof cream 1% was found to improve itch and sleep quality in patients with atopic dermatitis. Other top stories in allergy/asthma include the safety of biologics for asthma during pregnancy, the effectiveness of dupilumab in improving lung function in children with asthma, and more.
