Infectious disease watch: Russia says no plague cases were found among contacts of a lab worker who died after pneumonia in Siberia, while WHO and ECDC say the risk of sustained person-to-person spread appears very low. Digital health links: Cyprus has connected to Estonia’s e-health system via MyHealth@EU, enabling cross-border e-prescriptions and patient summaries when care is sought abroad. Flu vaccination logistics: Estonia’s flu vaccine deliveries are delayed because strains were updated at once; first doses arrive end of October, with the final shipment in January, starting with risk groups. School nutrition: In Tartu, parents can visit school cafeterias; some students complain meals are less salty after reductions, with a few bringing their own salt.
