Enabling vaccine uptake: Strategies for the public health sector
@bjhmoffice.bsky.social
A microbial horror show — an overview of some of the most devastating infectious diseases in history.
Dare to be scared, and be inspired by the stunning advances in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of life-threatening infections.
Featuring cholera, measles and the plague, and many more.
A reminder that measles cannot be treated, it can only be prevented.
It is one of the most contagious diseases in the world and can cause blindness, deafness and life-threatening lung and brain infections.
Enabling vaccine uptake: Strategies for the public health sector
@bjhmoffice.bsky.social
We are living in a world where we have safe and effective vaccines against some of the most detrimental diseases in history.
And yet people choose not to give them to their children and protect them and others.
Measles could have been eradicated by now.

Life as an academic.
"I once tried to purchase Harry Styles concert tickets using the Ticketmaster app on my mobile phone while giving an expert lecture to a group of MSc students at the same time."
Happy World Neglected Tropical Diseases Day to all those who are celebrating the fact that Guinea worm may soon become the second human infectious disease to be eradicated, after smallpox.
But over one billion people worldwide continue to be affected by neglected tropical diseases.

What do the Black Death, cholera and COVID have in common?
Each caused massive disruption - but also sparked life-saving breakthroughs in diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease.
New challenges like climate change, antibiotic resistance and vaccine hesitancy put this progress at risk.
