anti rabies vaccine :: Article Creator On The Road To Eliminate Rabies, Gavi Announces Plan To Improve Human Vaccination Rabies has been in global health's crosshairs for years. Around the world, the viral infection kills about 70,000 people a year — and since as early as 2015, groups including Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, have had plans to shore up vaccine efforts to reduce the number. At one point, Gavi planned to include human rabies vaccines in its 2021 investment strategy — but then the Covid-19 pandemic got in the way. Now, it's finally taking action. On Thursday, Gavi announced a plan to expand global access to human rabies vaccines, reaching over 50 countries. Most of Gavi's efforts focus on vaccinating as many people as possible against common viral threats. But for rabies, it's confronting a different kind of challenge: providing vaccines for post-exposure prophylaxis to the right people, at the right time. Rabies is one

pfizer booster :: Article Creator Are You Eligible For A COVID-19 Vaccine Booster Shot? Hi, everyone. I'm Doctor John Whyte, the Chief Medical Officer at WebMD. Should you get a booster? You might have been hearing different things lately. FDA says something, CDC says something. Here's what you need to know.

new vaccine :: Article Creator Vaccine Breakthrough Protects The Immunocompromised From The Unvaxxed Measles was declared eliminated from the US in 2000 because of vaccination. Now, it's back – in a big way. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as of June 27, 2024, 159 measles cases had been reported across 23 states. Of those cases, 84% were in unvaccinated people or people whose vaccination status was 'unknown'; 11% had received one vaccination dose, and 5% of cases had had two. Almost half (46%) of cases were in children under five. The US is not facing this resurgence alone. Globally, measles cases were up 79% in 2023 from the previous year. Why? The only reason measles cases are rising is that vaccination rates are decreasing, jeopardizing herd immunity. While it can be partly attributed to the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the reality is that the pandemic only exacerbated the decline al
