Cas en nette hausse, campagne de vaccination, hospitalisation en France... Ce que l'on sait de l'épidémie de m

Vingt-sept cas sont recensés d'après le dernier bilan des autorités sanitaires rendu public jeudi. Selon le ministre de la Santé britannique, Wes Streeting, la majorité des cas sont liés à une discothèque de Canterbury, dans le sud-est de l'Angleterre, fréquentée par des étudiants début mars.

HPV vaccination is effective as also demonstrated by so many examples. Cervical cancer is a cancer that can be eliminated as a public health threat. HPV vaccination plays an important role in this elimination.

IMPRESS: Impf­ver­halten verstehen, Preparedness steigern

Impfungen retten weltweit Millionen Menschenleben. Dennoch bleibt auch in Deutschland eine beträchtliche Anzahl von Menschen ungeimpft gegen einzelne oder zum Teil auch gegen alle impfpräventablen Erkrankungen und riskiert so schwere Krankheitsverläufe bis hin zum Tod. Um wirksame Strategien entwickeln zu können, mit denen mehr Menschen erreicht und vor impfpräventablen Erkrankungen geschützt werden, ist es essentiell zu verstehen, wie viele, welche und warum Menschen sich impfen bzw. nicht impfen lassen. Im Rahmen des Projekts IMPRESS wird daher ein regelmäßiges Impfakzeptanz-Monitoring für Deutschland etabliert, um die Gründe des (Nicht-)Impfens besser verstehen zu können und Ansatzpunkte zu finden, um die Inanspruchnahme von Impfungen zu erhöhen. Hierfür wird die Infrastruktur des RKI-Panels "Gesundheit in Deutschland" genutzt.

Whopper of the Week: In a Deadly Flu Season, RFK Jr. Discourages Vaccination | Defend Public Health

RFK Jr said in January that it may be a "better thing" if fewer children are vaccinated against influenza. In fact, multiple studies have shown that influenza vaccination protects children against severe illness, hospitalization and death, including the CDC's own data and studies. A March 16 judicial ruling has put the CDC's new flu vaccine guidelines on hold. But Kennedy continues to sow doubt in order to restrict access to life saving flu vaccines.

And the rate of MMR vaccination has only declined since then due, in large part, to the counter-scientific attacks on vaccines by the RFK HHS dept.

The South Carolina outbreak is now approaching 1,000 cases, 64% of whom are children, and the vast majority of whom were unvaccinated.

There have been 1,362 new measles cases in the U.S. since Jan 1, putting it on track for yet another record-breaking yearl

Meanwhile, elephant seals continue to die from highly pathogenic H5N1 avain flu at Ano Nuevo beach, near Santa Cruz, California.

Good news, folks! mRNA vaccines don't cause "turbo cancers" — first, because those don't exist, and second, because mRNA technology has been studied for decades and large population studies have found no increased cancer risk at all following vaccination. Here's more from @TheConversationUS on how the rapid spread of vaccine misinformation is threatening the development of this potentially transformative technology.

Cancer vaccines could transform treatment and prevention – but misinformation about mRNA vaccines threatens their potential

False claims that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines cause cancer could, ironically, lead to worse cancer outcomes by undermining a promising tool to prevent and treat it.
