#Strengthening #EPI Programs during outbreaks. While responding to a circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 (cVDPV2) outbreak and other outbreaks, it's critical to strengthen routine immunization programs (EPI). Why should this be paramount? ✓High-quality EPI: A strong EPI ensures high population immunity, making it harder for cVDPV2 to spread. ✓Rapid Outbreak Response: A well-functioning EPI program allows for swift implementation of vaccination campaigns to control outbreak. ✓Long-term Prevention: Investing in EPI strengthens the healthcare system's ability to prevent future outbreaks of polio and other vaccine-preventable diseases. Let's not loose focus while responding to disease outbreaks. With robust EPI, we can prevent Outbreaks. #PublicHealthemergency #EndPolio #Vaccination #EPIStrenghthening

Vaccines protecting against strains A and B of the virus have become essential tools in the global fight against #hepatitis, leading to a 68% decrease in childhood HepB infection and a 95% decrease in HepA since their introduction to the U.S. For more information about the observance: https://lnkd.in/dn5Dt-j Read our blog to learn more about talking to your patients about routine infant immunization: https://lnkd.in/eEkXBDDZ

Did you know? Immunization currently prevents 3.5-5 million deaths every year from diseases like diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, influenza and measles. This year's World Immunization Week celebrates 50 years of the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI), recognizing collective efforts to save and improve countless lives from vaccine-preventable diseases. Immunization is a cost-effective intervention that can prevent the spread of infectious diseases and save lives. We join voices across the globe to declare it "Humanly possible". #RedcareHmo #Healthcare #Immunization #Managedcare

Dear Colleagues, The US CDC recently released the updated 2024 ACIP Adult Immunization Schedule, addressing the rising incidence of vaccine-preventable viral infections like SARS-CoV-2, RSV, influenza, and measles. With growing concerns about vaccine hesitancy, this publication explores the causes and suggests public health measures to improve vaccine uptake. As healthcare professionals, understanding the consequences of vaccine-preventable infections is crucial. The complete report is now available on the Medical Science Monitor webpage. #medicalscience #vaccination #publichealth | https://lnkd.in/dSTVB94t

The most crucial part of this report that might interest you is: “Among the 194 WHO countries, 65 (34%) achieved ≥95% MCV1 coverage in 2022. In 2022, the 21.9 million infants who did not receive MCV1 through routine immunization services represented a decrease of 2.5 million (10%) compared with 2021, and a 2.7 million increase compared with 2019. The 10 countries with the highest number of infants who did not receive MCV1 were Nigeria (3 million), Democratic Republic of the Congo (1.8 million), Ethiopia (1.7 million), India (1.1 million), Pakistan (1.1. million), Angola (0.8 million), Philippines (0.8 million), Indonesia (0.7 million), Brazil (0.5 million), and Madagascar (0.5 million).” New Incentives as the major RI supporting program in Nigeria whose activities have brought about enrollment of over 2Million infants into Routine Immunization program have all the potentials and promising capabilities of dropping Nigeria from the top list of countries with the highest number of infants not served MCV1 vaccine. This shall revert the statistics of RI progress back to the pre-pandemic days and of course healthier Nigerian population. #immunization #vaccines Pratyush (Prat) Agarwal Svetha Janumpalli Mubarak Bawa SRMP.
