DOH recommends flu shots for everyone 6 months and older, staying home when sick and taking precautions around vulnerable people; COVID-19 activity is declining. Local Health Research: UH Cancer Center received a $3 million grant to study breast cancer disparities in Hawaiʻi. Food Safety: A recall covers 28-ounce Gatorade Lemon-Lime and Orange varieties, including zero-sugar versions, sold in Hawaiʻi. The bottles fail to list Yellow 5 or Yellow 6 dyes, which may pose a risk for people with sensitivities.

Some therapies need only a shot every few weeks; gene therapy is also helping some adults, though its long-term effects remain uncertain.
