A website undergoing maintenance led me to a site I don't normally visit instead just to check on some information and that had some content about #YellowFever which made me wonder whether we'd need the #vaccination for next month's #travel plans. And it turns out that oh yes, we definitely will, and I'm bloody glad we spotted that so can book a jab and get a certificate. That was lucky.

Novavax #COVID vaccine in children 2-11 years and 12-17 years show excellent immune responses across variants. They also had higher titers than adults. There were very low rate of side effects, with no myocarditis reported.

In vaccination champ Brazil, many have stopped getting shots

>#Brazil, [..] was hailed as a champion of mass #vaccination drives.
Then an anti-vax movement started spreading around 2016, soon gaining outsize influence via a powerful ally: #FarRight leader Jair #Bolsonaro, [..] who refused to be vaccinated against #Covid19 joking the jab could “turn you into an alligator”.

>“It’s very sad to see how a country [..] can suddenly suffer from an #antivaccine movement,”

"The next round of coronavirus shots coming this fall should target the family of XBB variants, a branch of omicron that has become dominant in the United States, vaccine experts told the Food and Drug Administration on Thursday. The FDA will make a final decision in the coming days about the vaccine’s formula."

A rather concerning article from TACT about the current state of COVID vaccines:
"New Study: Bivalent Booster Demonstrated No Efficacy Against Infection from the XBB Lineages. *Important Booster Considerations*"

Some very interesting info about "the impact that each booster shot has on our immune system."

#UNICEF posted this map showing the number of #Filipino children who have not received a single dose of routine #vaccination per province.

Hence, it might also be a good time to also post this.

Actually, the opposite is correct: "#COVID19 #vaccination during pregnancy is safe and highly effective in preventing maternal #SARSCoV2 infection in pregnancy, without increasing the risk of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes, and is associated with a reduction in stillbirth, preterm births, and neonatal ICU admission." 2/2
