Seasonal #vaccination session booked for a few Saturdays' time: #flu and #COVID.
The #pneumococcal vaccine I had last year should keep me going for years.
Ask your #GP or #Pharmacist about this year's seasonal vaccines programme.
#NHS delivering everyday for over 70 years!
#MMR, #COVID19 booster, #pneumococcal and #RSV vaxxed all at once today. Hopefully they'll all still be available in the future, if we have one.
Anyway, get vaccinated if you possibly can. It's not safe out there.

The clinical diagnosis was co-infection with influenza A and severe invasive pneumoccocal disease complicated by pneumonia. He remains hospitalised in a serious condition," a spokesman for the CHP said.
Does the pneumococcal vaccine cause autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children? No, that's not true: There is no scientific evidence to support the assertion that the pneumococcal vaccine or any other vaccine causes autism. The shots are recommended by both...

Author summary Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) is a Gram-positive pathogen that causes significant morbidity and mortality in the US and worldwide. The pneumococcus first colonizes the upper respiratory tract asymptomatically, and then drops into the lung to cause pneumonia, followed by sepsis (blood infection), where patient mortality rates exceed 20%. Studies have indicated that the reason S. pneumoniae can survive in the blood so well is due to its protective polysaccharide capsule. This vital virulence factor acts as a sugary coat which shields the bacterium from immune detection, opsonization, and phagocytosis. However, how this metabolically expensive virulence factor is regulated during colonization, lung infection, and sepsis has remained enigmatic. Here we describe two transcription factors, SpxR and CpsR, which repress capsule biosynthesis in the airways through a small, conserved, regulatory piece of DNA (the 37-CE) until the onset of sepsis–where repression is relieved, allowing for increased capsule biosynthesis, and by association, the high mortality associated with this condition. The 37-CE varies considerably among the 100+ pneumococcal serotypes, each of which has a chemically-distinct capsule composition. This may, in part, explain the variation in serotype-dependent disease severity we have observed for decades.
