Investments in Water and Sanitation (WSH) are essential for the effective control of cholera and typhoid. These devastating stats should spur resolution of governments and the public health community to invest.

This is so good to see. Michael Chew helped me apply for my own first training fellowship 25 years ago. I still remember how he personally phoned me with detailed interview feedback and advice afterwards. He has championed & enriched many, many early careers in many countries.

Hugely important research; opportunity to demonstrate the value of vaccines in reducing resistant bugs! Wellcome funded STRATAA keeps on giving!!! Congratulations to the authors.

Really pleased to be able to contribute to this important study investigating the emergence of resistance to typhoid in Malawi due to ciprofloxacin prescription.

The impact of a vaccine to prevent not just typhoid cases but antibiotic prescriptions could have a significant impact on emerging #AMR .

Ongoing #Typhoid surveillance with the #STRATAA & #TyVac studies provided the opportunity to study the possible causal relationship between increasing #Ciprofloxacin use and emergence of #AntimicrobialResistance in #Typhi .
Great analysis from Phil Ashton sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Lovely work from Phil Ashton who used multiple real-life real-time datasets to describe how increased empiric prescribing can be linked to rising fluoroquinolone resistance mutations in #typhoid . Highlights the urgent need for twin measures - better diagnostics, and vaccination

Wrapped up the week on a positive note! Celebrating the achievement of recruiting 105 participants in our GMMA/TCV safety & immunogenicity vaccine trial targeting #iNTS & #typhoid . Exceptional teamwork from the entire crew. Malawi Liverpool Wellcome Programme Inst of Infection Veterinary & Ecological Sciences #Salmonella #Malawi

A cake-and-bubbly-stuff kinda day! 105 participants - *fully recruited* for first jabs against #iNTS & #typhoid in our GMMA/TCV safety & immunogenicity #vaccine trial. Great job by the team. Follow-up finishes one year today :) Malawi Liverpool Wellcome Programme Inst of Infection Veterinary & Ecological Sciences #Salmonella #Malawi

Snapshot of data from The Lancet study showing #Typhoid conjugate vaccines (TCVs) protect children for at least 4 years. Repost from Take on Typhoid - bit.ly/42mYkoU CenterVaccineDev Malawi Liverpool Wellcome Programme Ministry of Health, Malawi University of Liverpool

New data from Malawi show a single dose of typhoid conjugate vaccine (TCV) offers 4 years of protection, giving communities a cost-effective tool to prevent the disease! Will it be the same elsewhere? We will find out with further studies. #VaccinesWork thelancet.com/journals/lance…

Public services have been savaged by austerity. Institute for Fiscal Studies reports that further cuts are planned. Can the Chancellor really be planning tax cuts? If so, say out loud what is being given up in order to fund increases in income for those who pay tax.
