About our Health news coverage
What we trackThe Health summary follows medicine, public health, vaccines and medical research. Stories that belong mainly to another topic are left to that topic's summary.
How often it updatesToday's Health summary is live: publishers' feeds are checked continuously and new developments are added as they are reported, all day long.
Where the stories come fromStories come from the reporting of STAT, The Guardian, NPR, BBC News, WHO, Medical Xpress, MedPage Today, Euronews, News-Medical and ScienceAlert, and from official announcements by FDA, CDC and EMA. Every story links to the articles it is based on.
Live and final editionsThe live summary covers the day so far and can still grow. After 23:59 UTC it gets a final update and becomes the final edition for that day, kept in the archive.
