  1. Oof, I did not expect the pneumonia vaccine to hit so hard! I barely have any reaction to flu or Covid, and I'm just grateful that the shingles vaccine is disappearing in my rearview mirror.
    My arm is all red and swollen and painful and the rest of me feels pretty crappy. But, not as bad as real pneumonia.

  2. #Children have borne the brunt of the #infections, making up >70% of confirmed cases. >80 children & adolescents have been hospitalized this year for complications like #pneumonia, which leaves patients gasping for air, & #brain swelling, which can cause lasting damage, including #blindness, #deafness & intellectual #disabilities. (There are NO treatments for #measles, though researchers are trying to develop them.)

    Non-meningeal forms of IMD increased significantly upon easing of #NPI, such as bacteremic meningococcal #pneumonia and bacteremic #abdominal forms. They represented 6% & 8% of all IMD forms and were significantly linked to serogroups Y and W respectively, to older adults for bacteremic pneumonia and to young adults for bacteremic abdominal presentations.
