"A mother/father asks a doctor: Which children should be vaccinated?
The doctor replies: The ones you want to keep."

Yep, USA, that works.

Jimmy, "You can't smoke around the baby!"

Virginia, "Jimmy, smoke rises, she's not going to be tall enough to breath it for a LONG time!"

Before she knew of 2nd hand smoke my mom smoked in the car & my open window drew all the smoke past my face.

But she knew about vaccines in the 60's & she made sure I got all my shots.

Thanks to progress in science, I survived childhood. Also, I never took up #smoking.

Abstract
The current situation with H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAI) is causing a worldwide concern due to multiple outbreaks in wild birds, poultry, and mammals. Moreover, multiple zoonotic infections in humans have been reported. Importantly, HPAI H5N1 viruses with genetic markers of adaptation to mammals have been detected. Together with HPAI H5N1, avian influenza viruses H7N9 (high and low pathogenic) stand out due to their high mortality rates in humans. This raises the question of how prepared we are serologically and whether seasonal vaccines are capable of inducing protective immunity against these influenza subtypes. An observational study was conducted in which sera from people born between years 1925-1967, 1968-1977, and 1978-1997 were collected before or after 28 days or 6 months post-vaccination with an inactivated seasonal influenza vaccine. Then, haemagglutination inhibition, viral neutralization, and immunoassays were performed to assess the basal protective immunity of the population as well as the ability of seasonal influenza vaccines to induce protective responses. Our results indicate that subtype-specific serological protection against H5N1 and H7N9 in the representative Spanish population evaluated was limited or nonexistent. However, seasonal vaccination was able to increase the antibody titers to protective levels in a moderate percentage of people, probably due to cross-reactive responses. These findings demonstrate the importance of vaccination and suggest that seasonal influenza vaccines could be used as a first line of defense against an eventual pandemic caused by avian influenza viruses, to be followed immediately by the use of more specific pandemic vaccines.

Abstract

Background

Following the 2021-2022 avian influenza panzootic in birds and wildlife, seasonal influenza vaccines have been advised to occupationally high-risk groups to reduce the likelihood of coincidental infection in humans with both seasonal and avian influenza A viruses.

Methods

We developed and launched a questionnaire aimed at poultry workers and people in direct contact with birds to understand awareness and uptake of seasonal influenza vaccination. We collected responses in-person at an agricultural trade event and online.

Findings

The questionnaire was completed by 225 individuals from across the UK. The most commonly reported reason for vaccination was protection against seasonal influenza (82%, 63 of 77). Nearly all individuals aged ≥65 years reported that the vaccine was recommended for them (24 of 28). There was no difference in recommendation for occupational groups. Most vaccinees were aged over 60 years (60%, 29 of 48), however coverage was lower than expected in the ≥65 target group. Vaccination in those exposed to avian influenza was low (32%, 9 of 28). Not having enough time was the single most reported reason for not getting vaccinated in those intending to. Individuals unintending to be vaccinated perceived natural immunity to be better than receiving the vaccine as well as lack of awareness and time.

Conclusions

Our findings suggest that targeted campaigns in occupationally exposed groups need to be undertaken to improve communication of information and access to vaccine clinics. We recommend co-production methods to optimise this public health strategy for increased knowledge and future vaccine uptake.

Toward a consensus on fighting flu: prioritising childhood vaccination [Promoted content] https://www.euractiv.com/section/health-consumers/opinion/childhood-influenza-policy-steering-committee-cipsc-roundtable/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #childhoodvaccination #immunisation #seasonalinfluenza #vaccination

A range of conditions including #GuillainBarré syndrome, #CognitiveDeficit, #insomnia, #anxiety disorder, #encephalitis, ischaemic #stroke and #MoodDisorder exhibited a pronounced increase in long-term risk. Factors such as mild severity of #COVID19, increased #vaccination against COVID-19 and #heterologous vaccination were associated with reduced long-term risk of adverse neuropsychiatric outcomes. (2/3)

Please #vaccinate if you are able - to protect yourself, your loved ones, and those who are unable to be vaccinated.

Many people don’t realize that some “childhood diseases” can have serious side effects years down the road, nor that some can wipe out existing immune protections by causing immune amnesia.

Unlike some other religions, Judaism holds that there is no religious exemptions for state-mandated immunizations. Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform rabbis have written responsa on this issue. Many examples are offered here

#Museum30 Day 17 - ‘Origin'
The #herbarium in the #NHMLondon has actually two origins: The "original origin" are the collections of Sir Hans #Sloane: apothecary, physician, promoter of #smallpox #vaccination, #quinine use against malaria, and inventor of milk #chocolate.

Decades later, the collections of British botanical imperial mastermind and world circumnavigator Sir Joseph #Banks were added, which laid the foundation of the main collection nowadays.
