Let's see your answer in the comment section. ➖️ The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated their commitment to eradicating viral hepatitis by 2030. Some of their strategies include public awareness, medication, vaccination, and diagnosis. ➖️ Following your prescribed medication strictly can help your body fight hepatitis and recover fully after diagnosis.   — Omitola #hepatitisawareness #liverhealth #liverfunction

This meta-analysis shows that the DNAEBO, EBOVGP, MVA, and rVSVN4CT1 vaccines are likely to be safe and immunogenic, tending to support the vaccination against Ebola disease. These findings provide much-needed evidence for public health policy makers to develop preventive measures based on disease prevalence features and socio-economic conditions.

In the U.S. alone, two-thirds of people living with #hepatitisB may be unaware of their infection, increasing their risk of serious health complications including liver cancer.       To reduce the spread of this infectious disease, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends universal #hepatitisB vaccination for all adults age 19-59 and adults over 60 with risk factors.    Watch the video below to learn why now is the time to prioritize #hepB #immunization for your adult patients.  https://lnkd.in/eREfJ3zf

It's important to note that prevention, especially through vaccination for hepatitis A and B, is a crucial aspect of managing these infections. Additionally, early diagnosis and appropriate medical care can significantly improve outcomes. Always consult with healthcare professionals for accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plans based on the specific type and stage of hepatitis. #Hepatitis #LiverHealth #HepatitisAwareness #HBV #HCV #HepatitisPrevention #NOhep (Campaign for a world without hepatitis) #LiverDisease #HepatitisTreatment #ViralHepatitis #HealthyLiver #LiverAwareness #GetVaccinated #HepatitisResearch

Summary of Activity: Week 47 November 19-25th, 2023 NMDOH New Mexico. Influenza-like illness (ILI) activity is currently 5.3% of patient visits statewide and is below the NM ILI baseline of 6.0%. Two of the five NM health regions are above the NM baseline.  US ILI is 3.9%, above the national ILI baseline of 2.9%  ILI continues to rise in the state.  Seasonal influenza vaccination in New Mexico remains low (less than 25% of those eligible). 

“Even within countries that have maintained high vaccination coverage, pockets of susceptibility to vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) may still exist in regions or communities that have difficulty accessing routine healthcare or that harbor a large degree of vaccine hesitancy.” Check out this profile on Eriko Padron-Regaldo, an ORISE Fellow with the CDC! Eriko is studying new ways to improve the mumps vaccine by monitoring antibody responses. Read the feature at the link below ⏬ https://bit.ly/3Tc0VzQ #ShapingScience #IamORISE #ExperienceORISE

It was a pleasure to co-author (with Filipe Froes , Ana Teresa Timoteo, Joao Raposo, Joaquim Oliveira, Manuel Oliveira Carrageta, Sofia Duque, António Morais) this position article about influenza vaccination in older adults and patients with chronic disorders. https://lnkd.in/dJNhjFSY #influenza #vaccination #diabetes

Today is Universal Health Coverage Day and the theme is Health for All: Time for Action. #UHC is the principle that everyone can access affordable, quality essential services. A key component of UHC is vaccination, testing and treatment for viral hepatitis. Find out more: https:/bit.ly/3rmWrux #HepCantWait #UHCDay #HealthforAll #hepatitis #hcmsg

Pneumococcal disease is common in young children, but older adults are at greater risk for complications and death. Gain a better understanding of pneumococcal vaccination as we host a webinar with Ajit Johal on Dec. 5, 2023, to empower pharmacists with the latest knowledge and tools to address the evolving burden of pneumococcal disease in Canadian adults.

#AANP has just released a point of care tool on the topic of Meningitis. There are a number of useful resources including how to navigate and encourage vaccination including a review of the meningococcal vaccines. The tool can be a great resource for clinicians as we discuss meningitis with our patients, parents, and caregivers while also addressing vaccination against this preventable disease [and different serogroups]. Another reminder that having vaccines is not enough...we must also have vaccination! https://lnkd.in/esAMx_7h https://lnkd.in/eW4-GZsi
