Following credible sources for information is more important than ever.

With the CDC sharing vaccine misinformation on their website, it's important to follow credible health resources.
@who.int, @ameracadpeds.bsky.social, @aafp.org, & @acog.org all share trusted information backed by medical literature, esp re: vaccines.

Also, now is a GREAT time to subscribe to @medsky.social if you haven't already.
It's now much easier for me to label so you may subscribe and find that you already have your medical specialty on your account!

The #Medsky Ozone update means that we can finally move forward with some major improvements to medical labeling infrastructure.
Including:
- Supporting multiple languages
- Less label downtime
- Faster updates / Lots more specialty labels
- Easier label adding & removing

If you've received an incorrect label you can also select the label on your account and select "appeal" to request it be removed or changed.

I’m also going to be going sunsetting certain dual-specialty #Medsky labels over the next few days.
If you have a dual specialty label, you may notice that your account switches from a single dual-specialty label to two single-specialty labels.

The @medsky.social labeler is finally running on Ozone, and I'm happy to announce the long delayed intro of the Nursing label (MANY more new labels to come).
The labeler still needs to be automated so in the meantime people who comment under this post requesting the label can get it.
