A simple step towards your kid's lasting health is vaccination. While children carrying the Hepatitis A virus may not show symptoms, they frequently transmit the disease to others, including their parents or caregivers who may not be vaccinated.

False claims concerning vaccine safety, effectiveness, and adverse effects are frequently disseminated by disinformation, which instills mistrust and anxiety in the public. This leads to vaccination reluctance or open rejection, thereby making it a major public challenge. The SEIRMV model allows us to examine the influence and consequences of misinformation on the susceptible (S), exposed (E), infected (I), and vaccinated (V) compartments. It also includes compartments for misinformation (M) and vaccinated people (V).

MYSTERY. After roll-out of COVID shots, we observed a puzzling trend: More jabbed people died vs unjabbed. Likely reasons: (A) more people got vaccinated, (B) vaccines are targeted & weaken, (C) unvaccinated are protected by natural immunity, which is broad & doesn't weaken. #sciencewithdrg #COVID #vaccines

Measles is one of many interesting diseases, For an epidemiologist to write some poetic phrases, We’ve tried to rid ourselves of this problem, Using a vaccine that also targets Rubella and Mumps, The R number tells part of the story, We know it’s infectious and its why we worry, The other bit questions how it breaks through here, Cause humans are Measles’ only reservoir, And vaccination while good, doesn’t last forever, Which means this is really about susceptibility. And how this undermines our ability, To keep a tight grip on this terrible disease, Vaccination uptake here is the key, Among those that spread it most frequently, Which is why vaccinating children is essential, To our strategy to reduce the worrying potential, For Measles to gain more than a foothold, And overwhelm our nation’s healthcare system, So if you want your taxes to make a difference, To do more than just pay to treat avoidable illness, To help our country compete in a competitive world better, Get your children vaccinated when they’re invited, And play your part in this Kingdom United.
