Association of COVID-19 vaccination and anxiety symptoms: A Scleroderma Patient-centered Intervention Network (SPIN) Cohort longitudinal study https://lnkd.in/gHs8-vZ6

🌐💉This week, we commemorate #EuropeanImmunizationWeek, dedicated to raising awareness about the benefits of #immunisation and ensuring people of all ages are protected against infectious diseases. 🎉Marking its 50th anniversary, the World Health Organization Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) stands as a testament to global efforts in ensuring universal access to vaccines for nearly every child worldwide. 🤝This week also underscores the importance of multi-stakeholder collaborations, such as the Mission Board on Vaccination in Europe, bringing together academics, healthcare and public health professionals, civil society and patient representatives, as well as industry, to build consensus and reflect on key challenges and opportunities in Europe’s immunisation systems.  💪 Don’t miss our first Consensus Report, launched in the #EuropeanParliament, outlining concrete recommendations aimed for strengthening vaccination policies and programs across Europe! 👉 https://lnkd.in/ehVPf-px #EIW2024 #Immunization #Vaccination #Equity #MBVE

New Incentives is dedicated to the global goal of dramatically reducing the number of zero-dose children—defined as children who haven’t received a single dose of diphtheria-, tetanus-, and pertussis-containing vaccines. Zero-dose children are the most vulnerable, accounting for nearly half of all vaccine-preventable deaths. Our efforts to reach zero-dose children include gathering granular data on where these children live, conducting targeted outreach to their families through awareness sessions and mobile vaccination units, boosting demand for vaccination through cash incentives, tracking progress over time, and sharing our findings with relevant government stakeholders. #newincentives

Protecting lives, one vaccine at a time. National Vaccination Day marks the significance of immunisation in preventing diseases and promoting public health. On this day, communities worldwide raise awareness about the importance of getting vaccinated to safeguard against deadly infections. Vaccination not only protects individuals but also contributes to herd immunity, shielding vulnerable populations. Let's commemorate National Vaccination Day by promoting vaccine acceptance, ensuring equitable access to immunisation, and fostering a healthier future for all. Join us in celebrating National Vaccination Day and advocating for a healthier, safer world through immunisation. #nationalvaccinationday #vaccineswork #publichealth #immunization #preventivededicine #healthforall #vaccineawareness #communityhealth #tmc #tambarammedicalcenter #drashwinkaruppan #tambaram #chennai

Malaria remains a significant public health challenge in Africa, bearing the brunt of the global malaria burden. The development and deployment of a malaria vaccine is a game-changer in the fight against this devastating disease, marking a major breakthrough in global health #malaria #CESMELHealth

As the curtains close on the The World Vaccine Congress, we want to express our gratitude to the immunization professionals who came together to learn about how data is the missing ingredient to reaching zero-dose children. From the rich diversity of attendees, three major themes emerged: 1️⃣ Power of Partnership: We witnessed the undeniable strength of collaboration. Vaccinations alone don't save lives; it's their delivery and equitable access that truly make a difference. 2️⃣ Breaking Data and Research Silos: In the face of large-scale challenges like climate change and its impact on health, we need to drive rapid innovation by breaking down siloes between different data and research domains to unlock the insights we need to safeguard our collective future. 3️⃣ Championing Vaccine Equity: We must ensure that no individual or community is left behind in our vaccination efforts. This means boosting manufacturing capabilities and equipping ourselves with enabling research tools to reach everyone, everywhere. Together, we can create a healthier and more resilient world.

#YFCA_UPDATE! YFCA, funded by Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, and partnered with International Rescue Committee, held a training workshop for field researchers on qualitative data gathering to enhance vaccination coverage in AlGatan and Tareem. The project, "Enhancing Vaccination Coverage for Under-Immunized Children in Vaccine-Resistant Communities through Demand Creation Interventions," aims to increase vaccination rates among children under five. Researchers have started their five-day fieldwork to cover the target sample comprehensively. This initiative is crucial to improving health outcomes for children in vaccine-resistant communities. #Yemen #Vaccination #ChildHealth
