This fall, there will be vaccines available for all three fall respiratory viruses: flu, RSV, and Covid-19. With so much information out there, it can be hard to keep track of it all. That's why we're breaking down the what, who, and when for each vaccine with the most up-to-date science. bit.ly/4e5WjT1 Stay informed and stay healthy! #Vaccines

Hey New Jersey, let’s stay on top of all our routine vaccines! Vaccines help prevent and stop the spread of 16 diseases in both children and adults. Learn more: nj.gov/health/vaccines #HealthierNJ #ImmunizationAwarenessMonth

Clean water, good sanitation, and widely used vaccines have significantly reduced once common, widespread diseases. So why are we still vaccinating against rare diseases? Recent events point to what happens when we stop vaccinating. For example, the number of children getting the MMR vaccine across Europe and the US has declined in recent years. Not surprisingly, Europe and the US are now seeing measles outbreaks. Choosing to vaccinate is one way to prevent rare and dangerous diseases from returning. Have more questions about vaccines?

Getting the flu vaccine isn't just about protecting yourself—it's about protecting those around you. Clinical trials for the flu vaccine are critical to developing more effective vaccines and making sure that we stay ahead of flu season. If you're between the ages of 50+ and haven't received a flu shot in the last 5 months, you may qualify to participate in a clinical study that could make a real difference. #FluSeason #VaccineTrial #ProtectYourHealth Join the study at: https://lnkd.in/gYcS5SD6

Stay Healthy – Get Your Flu and COVID-19 Vaccines at Whittier Street Health Center.   The Centers for Disease Control recommends getting a flu vaccine and COVID-19 vaccine at the same visit if you are eligible and the timing for each vaccine is right.   Studies conducted throughout the COVID-19 pandemic supported the safety of getting a flu vaccine and at the same visit. For example, one CDC study showed that people who got a flu vaccine and COVID-19 monovalent vaccine at the same time were slightly more likely to have reactions including fatigue, headache, and muscle ache than people who only got a COVID-19 monovalent vaccine, but those reactions were mostly mild and went away quickly. #COVID #Health #Vaccine #Prevention Graphic by Devin Williams-Agyeman

Importance of vaccines with chronic conditions- Vaccines are especially important for individuals with chronic conditions due to their increased vulnerability to infections. Here’s why vaccines are crucial for those with chronic health issues:

🛡️ Why Vaccines Matter 🛡️ Vaccines are crucial for: *Preventing Diseases: Protects against severe illnesses. *Herd Immunity: Shields those who can't be vaccinated. *Reducing Costs: Cuts healthcare expenses. *Protecting Future Generations: Eradicated diseases like smallpox. *Preventing Outbreaks: Stops the spread of infections. Let's trust science and protect each other. 💉❤️ We at Vundla Biologistics are here to provide a service when it comes to the supply chain management of Vaccines. https://lnkd.in/dfU8ABXZ mbali@vundlabiologistics.co.za 010 012 6967 #VaccineLogistics #Healthcare #PublicHealth #ColdChain #PharmacyServices #EfficientDelivery #VaccineDistribution #HealthInnovation #Biologistics#VaccinesWork #ProtectOurFuture #vaccines #healthcare

No, unless chronic lung disease is present, which puts them at increased risk of pneumococcal disease. PCV20 alone or PCV15 followed one year later by PPSV23 is recommended for current smokers of cigarettes age 19 through 64 years (see https://lnkd.in/eRdntZEw).

On June 27, 2024, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director adopted the ACIP’s recommendations for use of 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccines in people ages 6 months and older as approved or authorized by FDA. The 2024–2025 vaccines are expected to be available in fall 2024. CDC resources will be updated at that time to align with the new recommendations.
