Antibiotic resistance is a serious and growing public health challenge in Europe. Misuse and overuse make bacteria resistant, making infections harder to treat.

DON'T MISS IT! From Resistance to Resilience: healthcare workers leading the change. Join public health professionals, academia, patients' and NGO's representatives and let's talk about the ways to #KeepAntibioticsWorking! #EAAD2025 online event starts at 1PM CET! Register: bit.ly/EAAD2025Regi...

🧬 Good immunity is built day by day. New research shows how sleep quality and balanced nutrition help regulate inflammation and strengthen key immune responses. Small daily habits → stronger long-term defenses. #GoodImmunity #VIVI #Prevention #HealthLiteracy

Hey, moms-to-be! Data confirms that babies born to vaccinated mothers are less likely to be hospitalized with COVID-19 before they're six months old. If you have questions about vaccines, chat with your healthcare provider. medicine.yale.edu/news-article...

How does vaccine prevention fit into the bigger picture of medication literacy and #AMR?🌍 At the Workshop in Brussels, #MedLit explained how informed medicine use supports better vaccine uptake and responsible antibiotic use. 💡 Empowering safer use of meds = healthier communities. 👉 MedLiteracy.eu

📍 Great discussions at the #VaccinesToday Workshop in Brussels (5 Nov)! The #MedLit #Erasmus+ team @vaccinesafety.bsky.social shared how improving medication literacy helps empower people to use medicines safely and effectively — from everyday meds to vaccines. #HealthLiteracy #ErasmusPlus

🌿 What does good immunity really mean? It’s more than “not getting sick.” It’s a lifelong balance — where your body learns, adapts & stays resilient from childhood to old age. How science is redefining immune health → 🧬 #GoodImmunity #VIVI #Prevention

It was a pleasure and a great honor to present on @ERASMUS_MedLit during this high-impact #ESWI2025 panel. .., Great discussion with many new ideas emerging... Stay tuned!🔆

💫 And that’s a wrap on #ESWI2025! In heartfelt closing remarks chaired by Colin Russell, with Ab Osterhaus, Stefania Maggi, and Marco Goeijenbier, the room was filled with gratitude, inspiration, and excitement for what’s next — ✨ See you at #ESWI2027! #PublicHealth #Science

Brilliant presentation by Nathalie Verzele, University of Melbourne, at #ESWI2025 on neuronal infection with influenza A H1N1 pdm 2009. In animal studies she could show that infection of nerve cells may influence host response and symptomatology.

🌍 Proud to be part of the @eswinfluenza.bsky.social Coalition — joining global partners advancing science, collaboration, and prevention. At #ESWI2025 in Valencia, we stand united to strengthen vaccine confidence and improve protection for all. 💛 #VIVI #PublicHealth #InfectionPrevention

✈️ Next stop: #ESWI2025 in Valencia! We’re excited to join global experts in infectious disease control, antimicrobial stewardship, and vaccine innovation. Looking forward to sharing insights, forging collaborations, and advancing prevention together. #VIVI #InfectionPrevention

💪 #GoodImmunity starts with everyday choices. New research shows that maintaining balanced micronutrient levels (vitamin D, zinc, selenium) helps regulate immune cell activity and reduces infection risk — especially in colder months. 🌿 #Immunity #Prevention #VIVI

World Mental Health Day🧠 Mental health is an essential part of our overall wellbeing, yet millions in Europe still face barriers to accessing mental health services. 46% of Europeans experienced emotional or psychosocial problems and many did not seek professional help. #MedLit

Latest England COVID-19 hospital bed occupancy up. COVID-19 positive tests up. COVID-19 deaths up. COVID-19 cases up. Data source @ukhsa.bsky.social Why? Limited vaccine eligibility, waning immunity, lower priority by leaders, mixing in poorly ventilated, cramped spaces. Scant use of face coverings.

Never underestimate light movement 🌿 Recent research shows that regular moderate-intensity exercise boosts neutrophil function, oxidative burst capacity, and overall immune surveillance—without overtaxing the system. #MoveForHealth #VIVI

It’s not just diet and exercise that governs how well you age. Your mindset, social connections and sense of purpose make a big difference, and it’s never too late to start working on them

🌍 🔥 Climate change is more than an environmental issue — it's a threat to human health, especially for those most vulnerable. 📅 Join @eea.europa.eu and DG RTD @ec.europa.eu for a discussion on creating fairer, healthier, and more climate-resilient societies from 09:00 at #EHFG2025 ➡️ bit.ly/4n1g7v1.

"Hepatitis B is a virus that attacks the liver. The disease has no cure and chronic infection can lead to serious outcomes such as liver cancer, cirrhosis and death. ...risks of these outcomes are much higher for people who get infected as infants." www.npr.org/2025/09/25/n...

Our researchers found a missing link in applying ML to AMR: lack of clinical and preclinical data. We highlighted the key milestones from data collection to ML models in building the first and public FAIR MIC dataset & AntiMicrobial-KG. Listen to webinar to learn more: bit.ly/472Q8y4

Did you know? 🧬 Your immune cells’ metabolic wiring (how they get energy) can make or break how well they fight infections. Recent research reveals metabolic pathways (glycolysis, TCA cycle, etc.) actively regulate immune function—opening doors to new preventive tools. #Immunometabolism #Prevention

With the European Commission and the Heads of Medicines Agencies, we have set new targets to make the EU a top destination for #clinicaltrials and speed up patient access to innovative #medicines. 👉 Learn what these targets are: www.ema.europa.eu/en/news/new-... #MedSky

TGIF! 🌿 Did you know? A good night’s sleep and a healthy weight help keep your immune system resilient. 🛌💪 Recent research shows even one night of poor sleep can alter immune cells — but quality rest restores balance and strengthens your body’s defenses. #TGIF #HealthyLiving

The 3-day training in Rabat on event-based surveillance has wrapped up! 60+ participants strengthened skills, built networks & advanced One Health collaboration across sectors. Organised by ECDC, Morocco’s MoHSP & EMPHNET under the EU Health Security Initiative. #HealthSecurity #OneHealth

📣 The new #Eurohealth issue explores how Europe can rethink solidarity in health ahead of #EHFG2025 From #genderequity & #MentalHealth to #primarycare & drug transparency ..how can inclusive, community-driven, & sustainable approaches help shape the future? Read it here➡️ tiny.cc/EurohealthEHFG25

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) continues to affect infants and older and immunocompromised people around the world. These graphics reveal where the burden lies and what the effects of immunizations are

More than pills and shots — your gut microbiome might be a hidden key to vaccine success. 🌿 Recent research shows gut bacteria affect how well our bodies respond to #vaccines. Diet, probiotics, and microbiome health = new frontiers in prevention. #Microbiome #VIVI
