Maternal antibodies that pass through the placenta can interfere with responses to the RTS,S #malaria #vaccine, shows an #ISGlobal study in collaboration with 7 African centres.  The analysis of more than 600 samples from children who participated in the vaccine trial shows that the higher the level of maternal antibodies to the protein included in the vaccine, the lower the infant's response.    These findings explain the lower vaccine efficacy in infants < 5 months of age.  Read more here:

#EndocrineDisruptors, invisible but harmful chemicals in our environment, pose a growing threat to human health, impacting everything from reproductive health to early puberty, as you can read in this report from El País. ISGlobal’s Environment and Health Throughout Life Programme, led by Martine Vrijheid, stresses the need for more research on the effects of exposure to multiple disruptors and advocates for stronger policies to reduce these chemicals in everyday products. Although current concentrations are low, the long-term health impacts cannot be ignored. Let's keep pushing for healthier, safer environments for all. #ISGlobal #EnvironmentalHealth #PublicHealth
