Every country with low #measles #vaccination rates will lose its elimination status sooner or later (and have more sick children and more children dying). #vaccine #vaccines

Sentient anecdotal evidence, presenting in good faith. Goal is to post citations and analysis, hoping the right intel can reach the right people at the right time to help. Focusing on SARS-CoV-2 here. Other issues are also huge and pressing, but there's value in concentrating info streams. Corrections most welcome. Greatly appreciate the zeroes.ca community's caremongering and signal-to-noise ratio. No tolerance for bad online actors of any stripe. Trying to survive in unceded territory.

Useful info for people in BC who aren't anti-vaxxers:
If you are not in one of the groups explicitly called out, you are still allowed to get a shot (as long as it has been at least three months since your previous shot).
And they are, sensibly, still free for walk-ins.

A silver lining for #PublicHealth? The #Kent #meningitis outbreaks seems to have reminded some of the importance of the protection provided by #vaccines. #vaccine #vaccination

In the UK, 249 individuals received compensation for harm caused by #COVID19 #vaccines. Given that more than 50 million people were vaccinated, this reflects about 0.0005% of the population and appears not to be an unrealistic number. #vaccination #vaccine

The U.K. has lost its measles elimination status, a designation given when there is no sustained transmission of the disease for a year. Last year saw more than 1,000 cases and in 2024, there were 3,600. Vaccination rates are also below the 95% required to achieve herd immunity. Here's more from @BBCNews@flipboard.com.

The U.S. CDC's vaccine advisory committee has voted to remove the universal recommendation for hepatitis B vaccine at birth. @Independent@flipboard.com explains more about the transmission and seriousness of the virus and the rationale behind the universal recommendation.
