Health Wrap 46: US vaccine changes, TB, cancer gap

The Hindu has published the 46th episode of its weekly video series Health Wrap, covering changes in childhood vaccination policy in the United States, newer approaches to tuberculosis diagnosis, and the gender gap in cancer care. The episode also examines what Okinawa’s Blue Zone can teach about longevity and healthy ageing.

In the discussion, Health Editor Ramya Kannan and Senior Assistant Editor Zubeda Hamid break down the key health stories of the week. The segment on TB highlights multi-testing strategies, while the cancer care segment focuses on disparities between men and women in treatment access.

The video, released on August 16, 2026, is available on The Hindu’s website and social media platforms.
