England & Wales are now the first countries to offer the vaccine to at-risk groups for gonorrhoea protection.

Thank you @philmoorhouse.bsky.social
Never have I been so angry.
Let’s remember every MP (Tory and Labour) who voted for this; let’s remember everyone who voted for it too.
In many people’s eyes they’ll be responsible for the deaths of many of our loved ones.

Repeated reinfections with SARS-COV-2 will generate more people with Long COVID.

More disabilities, lower tax take, the Elephant in the room which is mostly unaddressed. πŸ‘‡

Vaccines remain the most effective and cost-efficient tool for disease prevention.

The mRNA vaccine technology promises improvements to existing vaccines & the development of new ones.

Plus, immunotherapy is showing promise as a powerful ally in the fight against certain cancers. #Vaccines #mRNA

An excellent first day of our Health Protection Course.

I am always nervous and anxious on the first day.

An online delivery also comes with its anxiety-provoking hiccups.

I have a great team looking after me.πŸ‘‡

Thank you, @AndrewMarr9, and @LBC, for our discussion on the four common winter infections: Influenza, SARS-CoV-2, RSV, and Norovirus.

Every Β£1 million invested in prevention via vaccines yields a minimum saving of Β£3 million.

Prevention is better and more economical.
