– Get your influenza vaccine this week during National Influenza Vaccination Week (NIVW), December 1-5, 2025. NIVW is an annual observance in December to remind everyone 6 months and older that there’s still time to get vaccinated against influenza to be protected during the 2025-2026 season.

Established in 2008, the intent of the $10,000 Hogg Scholarship is to assist a swine veterinarian in his or her efforts to return to school for graduate education (resulting in a master’s degree or higher) in an academic field of study related to swine health and production. To date, 22 swine practitioners have been awarded the scholarship and are recognized at aasv.org/foundation/swine-veterinarians/hogg-scholarship.

The scholarship application requirements are outlined at aasv.org/foundation/swine-veterinarians/hogg-scholarship/. Apply by December 1.

He subsequently became the Nebraska swine extension veterinarian and professor at the University of Nebraska. Upon “retirement,” Dr Hogg capped off his career with his work for MVP Laboratories. Always an enthusiastic learner, at age 75 he graduated from the Executive Veterinary Program offered at the University of Illinois.
