Can #youtube be trusted as a source of quality and reliable information on #COVID19 #vaccination in #Italy?

📌 public health professionals and institutions should consider investing in social media representation to fill the gap with non-medical sources in terms of popularity, to provide reliable and interesting videos, and ultimately deliver health education to the general public.

Food and Drug Administration approves COVID boosters for upcoming season

“The updated vaccines are expected to provide good protection against COVID-19 from the currently circulating variants,” the FDA said in a statement. “Barring the emergence of a markedly more virulent variant.. the composition of COVID-19 vaccines may need to be updated annually, as is done for the seasonal influenza vaccine.”

Information to give to the coroner in case this turns out to be serious:

I got two #vaccination shots (#flu and first round of #shingles) on Friday morning. No reactions or problems at the time.

~24 hours later and now still at 68 hours later and I noticed I have a red, warm area *near* but not *at* the injection site. A palm-sized area on my upper arm, 4-6 inches below the site.

Not itchy, painful, raised or bumpy. Just red and warm.

"Our First ‘Nonemergency’ COVID Season: A new wave. A new variant. A new vaccine. Do we know COVID’s annual pattern yet?"

Noboy knows sh*t about Covid. It mutates rapidly & it kills more people than the flu does. So, I'll continue to get vaccinated for it no matter what anyone says to the contrary.

Stunned - Offit completely ignores the quality of life impacts of Long Covid: "The updated booster is not intended for everyone. It’s for people in high-risk groups – those who are age 75 or older, pregnant or immunocompromised, said Offit, who serves on the FDA’s expert panel that reviewed the vaccine companies’ data. Individuals in this group... benefit the most in part because they account for a disproportionate number of COVID hospitalizations and deaths."

There are signs the latest #COVID booster might only be made available to groups that are deemed high risk by our CDC.

The advisory committee is meeting Sept. 12 to decide what recommendations to make. Public comments posted by Sept. 8 will be considered in this discussion.

@cclareMDMPH Thank you for this link. #covid peaks are so clearly not aligned with flu I don't get how policy for vaccination presumes they are. At least UK have apparently decided to start covid #vaccination asap (next week) and not wait to do with flu shot. France has not I think.
It will be interesting to see whether there is really a peak and start of decline of a small wave (compared to last winter) the past 2 weeks.

Just been texted by my GP to book a flu/covid jab. It's not until October, but at least it's in the diary (plus my natural immunity from infection last month is probably still pretty good).
Stay safe out there. In spite of what you may have heard, there's a lot if it about.

“non-pharmaceutical interventions #NPI have been proposed in tandem with #vaccination in order to reduce exposure and mitigate infection spread. While our findings are obtained from the investigation of a correctional facility system, in the presence of a leaky vaccine, layered interventions may afford a benefit in other congregate settings and community settings where prolonged, close contact with infected people may occur,” https://bird.makeup/users/jljcolorado/statuses/1695943360241103359
