  1. Vaccines teach our immune system to recognise and fight specific germs—no infection needed. 🌱

    - They’re rigorously tested for safety.
    - Different formats exist (live‑attenuated, mRNA, protein subunit, etc.).
    - Widespread immunisation cuts disease spread, protects the vulnerable, and eases strain on health systems.

  18. Kent’s #meningitis outbreak was years in the making – here’s why

    The #students caught up in it belong to a generation that has never been routinely #vaccinated against the strain responsible.

    That is not because a #vaccine doesn’t exist. It does. Bexsero, which protects against #meningococcal group B #disease has been available since 2013

    The #UK even became the first country in the world to add it to its national #immunisation schedule, in September 2015.

    But only for babies ...

  28. There's reporting, not necessarily absolutely complete; and there may be judgement on the Individual patient, but in the history of, well, history, two people have survived #Rabies with treatment after symptoms begin.
    AIRI the first was a woman in #Milwaukee with very prolonged ventilation etc,moving rise to the Milwaukee #Protocol .
    I don't know the second, and I believe patients have died despite efforts to apply that protocol.

    #Immunisation usually saves you.

  33. Here in #Canberra, a city of nearly 490,000, we’ve had ONE confirmed case of #measles. The #health department issued a press release and everything, in case patient zero inadvertently infected others.

    When I was a kid, measles was a common childhood hazard. Everyone knew someone who caught it. Now, even a single case is unusual enough to warrant a press release.

    #Immunisation works. We are KILLING it, folks.

    “Professor Collignon …stressed that vaccine protection is short-lived.
    "A booster only gives strong protection for about six months," he said.
    Current advice from the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI), (February 2026): Australians aged 75+ are advised to receive a COVID-19 booster every six months; those aged 65 to 74 are recommended to get one every 12 months, but are eligible every six months if they choose.
