An infectious disease expert says it's concerning that federal officials canceled a Food and Drug Administration advisory committee meeting scheduled for next month to select the strains to be included in next season's flu shot.

And PRISM, a Golden Valley-based food shelf, needs to come up with an additional $30,000 that was originally promised by the USDA to buy food from local farmers and other sources. Otherwise, it’ll have to pull the money from its reserves.

Those stories and more in today’s evening update from MPR News. Hosted by Emily Reese. Music by Gary Meister.
