“ Investing in #immunisation delivers a ‘longevity dividend’, helping people to live longer, healthier lives” (Arunima Himawan of the International Longevity Centre UK’)
📌 In an ageing world, it’s never been more important for countries to invest in preventative health, not least because it means countries will be able to truly benefit from the ‘longevity dividend’. Yet despite repeated commitments by governments to invest in preventative health, action continues to lag
@cyrilpedia @halama_immuno @victoralab thank you looping me into this thread.
Fascinating the ipsilateral vs contralateral #vaccination route though perhaps striking thing to me is the lack of a more pronounced signal. I. E. Yes there is a bit to gain from ipsilateral boosting but not a lot.
However I wonder if this could be a crucial variable in achieving effective / longer lasting #immunisation in those hard to vaccinate - e.g. Immunosuppressed

Why #immunisation of older #adults is the future
👉 “A major challenge for immunising older adults is that people often mistakenly believe that vaccines are only for children”
📌 Older people at at higher risk if infected by vaccine-preventable diseases
📌The global population is ageing, posing challenges for health and social systems
📌Europe need better monitoring of vaccination rates across all age groups and harmonising adult vaccination schedule in Europe

Anecdotally, lots of reports from healthcare staff around the world, finding #vaccinehesitancy around routine #immunisation where previously there was high #vaccine confidence.
#measles is likely to be a particular problem, given it's so infectious. I wrote this just before christmas -
