Kind: other · Impact: low

## In brief

- The FBI is aiding an investigation into the death of Heather Kovich, MD, a family medicine physician in New Mexico who died last month on the Navajo Nation.
- The roundup reports that measles cases have topped 5,000.
- The roundup also asks whether a flu shot can fight cancer, a question the headline raises but the source excerpt does not answer.

## Why it matters

Physicians and public health staff are the readers most likely to track the measles case count and any related clinical or policy developments. The source excerpt gives no detail on the flu-vaccine question.
