Because of the hepatitis B birth dose and completion of the infant series of the vaccine, the U.S. has made significant progress in reducing chronic hepatitis B. Eliminating the birth dose would reverse this progress and put children's health at risk. Read more: www.aap.org/en/news-room...

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

En nuestra reciente publicación explicamos cómo podríamos, para la próxima pandemia, prepararnos mejor con vacunas oportunamente. Esto basado en la meta “100-Day Mission” de @who.int y @cepi.net y las lecciones aprendidas de COVID-19 y otras pandemias. Link open access: www.mdpi.com/2076-393X/13...

En Latinoamérica tenemos brotes recientes importantes de #pertussis #tosferina en varios países, ⬆️ de fallecidos y ⬇️ coberturas de vacunación en varias regiones. Desconocemos la prevalencia de cepas resistentes de Bp a macrólidos. Por tanto, ⬆️ vacunación es vital: www.paho.org/en/news/26-8...

Vaccines save lives, but misinformation spreads faster than viruses. In some communities, it only takes one rumour to keep parents away from health centres. Muslim faith leaders in Burundi are stepping in to stop that cycle. Here’s how. 🧵

Tetanus is a devastating neurological infection that remains a major cause of global morbidity and mortality. A new Review in @thelancetinfdis.bsky.social provides a summary of the causes of tetanus, its clinical features, and management options. Find out more 👉 tinyurl.com/3twdsa2x

More than 98% of families in this country choose to vaccinate their young children. But now, vaccine policy is being shaped by the small, extreme minority that doesn’t. This decision doesn’t reflect, protect or support families.

"Death was present. Every Minute. The people were lying down, infected with #measles, especially the children, because of the lack of something as essential as the vaccine." Today, Julia is a nurse saving lives in #Mexico - this is her story

Since the 1970s, immunization has saved more than 150 million lives, from diseases like measles, diphtheria, pertussis, and polio.  That's more than 4 million lives per year.    With immunization for all, anything is possible – #HumanlyPossible. #WorldImmunizationWeek

In 1974, high rates of vaccine-preventable disease prompted the WHO to launch EPI, the Expanded Programme on Immunization. Half a century later, at least 154 million lives have been saved. Find out more: tinyurl.com/bke67ukw #WorldImmunizationWeek
