All set for our second meeting of the All-island Vaccine Research & Training Alliance @aivrt_hub in @QUBelfast @hea_irl funded by the #NorthSouthResearchProgramme. Looking forward to hearing how everyone is progressing their projects
Trying to get the message out that #Vaccines are the best chance we have against antimicrobial resistance Our @hea_irl #NSRP funded @aivrt_hub is training the next generation vaccinologists & developing vaccines against #AMR bugs. @ucddublin @UCC @WWIEM_QUB @tcddublin @ucdscience
Our @aivrt_hub network, funded by @hea_irl aims to address #AMR by developing #vaccines against antimicrobial resistant bacteria. Our simple message on World AMR Awareness week is: Time is running out for antibiotics. Now is the time for vaccines to stop AMR #NSRP @ucdscience
Take a tour through an older church cemetery. The number of child graves will shock you. Vaccines save childhood. A main distinction between the developed and developing world in infant mortality is access to vaccines.
REPORTER: You said you would like RFK Jr do whatever he wants with healthcare- TRUMP: Oh, he's gonna have a big role in healthcare R: You're comfortable with his views on vaccines? TRUMP: We'll be talking about a lot of things but he's gonna have a very big role on healthcare
Vaccination Works @aivrt_hub
Child mortality is dropping in Uganda, and #vaccines are a big reason why. Gavi’s support has led to over 1.4 billion contacts between families and health workers, ensuring children get the vaccines they need. Continued investment means more lives saved. #ForOurFuture
For context, this is roughly the budget I can allocate for consumables for each of my lab members for the year. This system needs to change… 😔
It costs $12,690.00 to publish open access at Nature. They are literally uploading a PDF file.
One of the @hea_irl #NSRP-funded @aivrt_hub PhD researchers Caoimhe Shields presenting her recent data on public awareness of #Vaccines Both sides of the Irish border agree “Vaccines are important for health” but 90% had never heard of ESKAPE pathogens 😬 @WWIEM_QUB @ucdscience
Delighted to be at the first ever @hea_irl #NorthSouthResearchProgramme conference representing our All-island Vaccine Research & Training network @aivrt_hub with @ValvanoMiguel & CaoimheShields #VaccinationWorks 🧪

Stunning views up Scarr today, but very squelchy underfoot
Support Ainés call for automatic entitlement to a #MedicalCard upon a cancer diagnosis. We should be doing all we can to alleviate the financial toxicity for people who are just trying to survive and live as best they can during the most difficult of times cancer.ie/petition
Breast cancer survivor, Ainé Martin is urging the next government to introduce an automatic entitlement to a medical card upon a cancer diagnosis. Visit cancer.ie/petition to pledge your support for cancer patients like Ainé 💛
“antifungal drug development takes a long time and is very expensive. Fungal and human cells are more similar than bacterial and human cells, making finding antifungal targets with minimal toxicity to humans difficult”
"Many of the fungal pathogens are resistant to treatment with current drugs – of which only four classes are in use – or can rapidly acquire resistance during treatment or in their natural environment." via @ConversationUS #AMR theconversation.com/antifungal-res…
A vaccine ban would kill and disable millions of Americans and collapse the economy. It is stunning that actual Americans on the edge of power would consider this idea, let alone advocate it. theguardian.com/us-news/2024/n…
Hey @bookingcom I think you have been hacked. The hotel name was correct. But this is not legit.
On my way home after #WVCEU24 @vaccinenation in Barcelona. It was great to discuss our effective P. aeruginosa & K.pneumoniae vaccine candidates with companies involved in vaccine R&D & scientists Lots of interest & discussion on vaccines for AMR pathogens @aivrt_hub @BactiVax
Excellent first AMR &Bacterial vaccines session at #WVCEU > 515000 deaths averted & 3.7 billion in hospital costs saved with vaccines targeting AMR pathogens. Great panel discussion. Syndrome approach to vaccines targeting AMR pathogens is appealing @aivrt_hub @vaccinenation
Congratulations! @IreneJurado6 1st PhD research paper is out Irene identified several vaccine antigen against P. aeruginosa. Paper describes how FTsZ ⬇️ lung bioburden & dissemination to spleen by almost 2.0 log10 CFU rdcu.be/dYp3F @BactiVax @MSCActions @REA_research
“The entire population of Gaza is at risk of dying in a genocide that has been announced and executed under our watch.” —UN Special Rapporteur, Francesca Albanese

What is the point in paying health insurance for >30 years if the advanced tmt prescribed by your medical team is not covered by your insurer? I won’t be renewing my @LayaHealthcare insurance @BernardPMahon I’m so sorry about the attitude of Laya to you & others in the same boat
My name is Bernard, living in Ireland. I have stage 4 stomach cancer. My medical consultants recommend Immunotherapy and chemotherapy. Despite best scientific and clinical evidence, my Irish healthcare insurer won't fund this. Am I alone?
Israel’s claim it is carrying out precise strikes against military infrastructure in Iran would be more believable if it hadn’t spent an entire year bombing every hospital in Gaza and now Lebanon, levelling home after home, and violating every single article of international law.
