Go vaccines! Dr Chikondi Kandulu UCC Ireland highlights that vaccination saves lives. We have vaccines to prevent disease & need to prioritise their uptake to make sure that they benefit people. Chikondi’s HEA #NSRP project will develop strategies to enhance vaccine uptake. #WIW24

Great finish to World Immunisation week. Nouran Rezk Nouran Elsayed Rezk PhD researcher UCD Conway Institute prepared a short video on why to developing vaccines against antibiotic resistant infections is so important, particularly in the Middle East, where she’s from 👏

154 million lives saved through immunization.

That’s 6 lives a minute for 5 decades.

Amazing!

And though you probably don’t remember the exact moment you were immunised, you’re part of this incredible achievement.

Now we need your help again. Tell leaders to invest in…

2 examples. Pneumococal conj vaccine reduced infection ➡️ averted 24 million antibiotic treated episodes
Rotavirus vaccine averted 19 million antibiotic treated episodes

All set for the The Royal Society for the #Vaccines and #AMR : science to policy meeting with BactiVac Network

Really looking forward to the BactiVac Network Vaccines and Antimicrobial Resistance: from Science to Policy meeting t’mr in #London . Timely because #Vaccines can reduce the potentially drastic challenges of #AMR And, its #WorldImmunisationWeek
