0:00.0	This week in virology, the podcast about viruses, the kind that make you sick.
0:10.3	From micro TV, this is twit of this week in virology episode 947 recorded on October 19th,
0:19.3	2022. I'm Vincent Racken, yellow, and you're listening to the podcast all about viruses.
0:25.4	Joining me today from New York, Daniel Griffin. Hello, everyone. Daniel, I am in Washington, D.C. at
0:34.8	ID Week. And today I went to a session on monkeypox and a representative from CDC said they no longer
0:45.0	recommend using a needle to unroof lesions because there are too many accidents.
0:50.3	Okay, I think we know why. And before we hand it over to you, let me remind everyone that if you

2:02.9	be humble and learn. All right, well, let's get right into it. So first polio, keep reminding everyone,
2:12.8	get your polio vaccines. Don't check your serology. If still getting questions about that, can I just
2:18.0	check my serologies? No. If you haven't gotten your polio vaccine, get your polio vaccine.
2:24.3	And all right, influenza as I promise, let me start with the article, prediction of upcoming
2:30.5	global infection burden of influenza seasons after relaxation of public health and social measures
