Did you know:
- it's recommended to have a diphtheria booster every 10 years
- it's usually given as a combined vaccine with tetanus and pertussis (whooping cough), called the dTpa
- it's recommended that you have a booster when you turn 50 and 65 years old
- you should have boosters every 5 years if you travel to high-risk areas or if you have other health factors
Talk to your doctor about getting a booster!

While I still can, here in the U.S., I got another COVID booster along with Tdap and updated (for me) MMR vaccines.
That's 10 COVID shots for me in 4 years. It's been about 10 years since I had a tetanus shot, I think, and I'm getting scratched and bitten by cats at the shelter where I volunteer, and apparently the original Measles vaccine I got in 1963 has dubious long-term effectiveness.

I got my #Novavax #vaccine (number 7 #COVID shot, so far) last week, zero side effects.
I got my second (and last) #Shingles vaccine late this afternoon, along with a #Tdap (#pertussis [#WhoopingCough], #diptheria, #tetanus) shot and, so far, zero side effects.
That should be it for vaccines for me for the rest of the year.
My internal #5G is ultra fast now, almost 6G speed 😉

Earlier today, I posted about the tragic death of an #AsylumSeeker who was 'housed' in Manston Airport. He passed away because of a #diptheria outbreak at that unhygienic place
An hour ago, I learnt that ALL 38 asylum seekers are to be taken off the #BibbyStockholm because of a substantial #Legionnaires outbreak.
Humans are not supposed to live like this.
We are neither commodities nor packages.
I truly hate the bastards that do this.

CW: Long thread/13
The states are stepping in where the feds have failed to act, spinning up their own pharma production capacity to create a #PublicOption for medicine - think of California's move to produce #insulin and other meds:
https://prospect.org/health/its-time-for-public-pharma/
Or Massachusetts's #MassBiologics, the "only non-profit, FDA-licensed manufacturer of vaccines" in the USA, which sells its generic #tetanus and #diptheria vaccines nationwide:

There is social pressure to disregard safety protections such as wearing a #mask or elbow bumping as opposed to shaking hands.
It seems like a sort of tribal affirmation "I am not afraid of no stinking microbes and our friendship is worth more than any increment of risk this close contact entails".
And with that, millions and millions of people have contracted #diseases including #bubonic #plague #smallpox #ebola #meningitis #polio #cholera #diptheria #pertussis #covid #influenza #pneumonia #tuberculosis #mpox #malaria #hepatitis
Extra credit: which diseases in that list are NOT contracted by close contact?

Just what the world needs. More #antibioticresistant pathogen.

Paid #sickleave is really a no-brainer. #covid #influenza #rsv are on the rise. We have concerns now with #polio #diptheria amd #MDRTB.
When people are forced to go to work or face eviction or send their kids to school in rags, they are going to go in to the shop or office and spread the infection around.
It should not take the threat of a #RailroadStrike #railroad cars have limited #ventilation #COVIDisAirborne
This is not rocket science.

CW: UK politics - health & refugees
Why do protection seekers have diphtheria even?
All people coming to the UK should be screened for their health on arrival
The duty of care belongs to the authorities and the Home Office is failing in this

The 10 top topics on the #BBC website and nowhere anything to do with #diptheria #suelabraverman #homeoffice or even about the latest #riots in #brussels after the #Belgium v #Morocco game. It looks that the #BBC is yesterday’s news service or they are completely mandhandled by a “hidden source”

Unbelievable! The #bbc has rparty ported nothing about the #diptheria cases all day. Complete silence about this and #SuelaBraverman. Why? The #bbc it seems has lost its credibility if they are forced to maintain radio siilence on the #tory party! Are they scared of them?

#SuellaBraverman MUST #resign. The #homeoffice is in utter disarray. Is #rishisunak the weakest #PM we ever had? He has no guts to stand up to what he proclaimed. The #ERG has the upper hand and we are in serious danger to suffer what we suffered under #davidcameron. He could not either stand up to his #backbenchers so we ended up with #brexit ##AsylumSeekers #asylum #diptheria

They're at it again.
The #conservatives have replicated the #MattHancock Plan, which led to tens of thousands of needless Covid deaths in care homes, this time by spreading #diptheria across the nation. All courtesy of #SuellaBraverman and her compassion-free disdain for vulnerable asylum seekers.
Whatever your politics, this lot cannot be trusted to keep us in any way safe.
