To express it in a consciously neutral way: Most (if not all) 🇪🇺 countries stopped vaccinating healthy children against SARS-CoV-2 BUT all 🇪🇺 countries recommend these vaccines for pregnant women! Quite incomprehensible from an international perspective. I feel sorry for our colleagues in the US.

Disastrous, but unfortunately not surprising given the attitude of the current US leadership towards mRNA vaccines…

Words matter. It’s time to retire the term oral “step-down.” It implies inferiority of the oral route—and doesn’t align with stewardship principles. Terms like IV to oral switch or oral transition better promote optimal antimicrobial stewardship. What terms do you use—and why? #idsky

“children vaccinated before 8.5 months of age exhibited a markedly faster antibody decay and lost their protective neutralizing antibody levels over 6 years.” So, in times of outbreaks, when infants get an early💉dose to get protection ASAP, they’ll likely still need their 2 scheduled doses later

This is such an important shift. For many years the catholic church withheld support for HPV vaccination which prevents cervical cancer. 119,000 women die from this cancer in Africa every year. This full throated support of the HPV vaxx by the church will help uptake. nation.africa/kenya/health...

Are we ever going to get RCTs to test whether metagenomics improves clinical outcomes, or will it remain a whole load of 'evaluations' that are really just clinical services? What would a trial look like? Tricky given the technology is advancing quickly #IDSky #MicroSky @drmichaelmarks.bsky.social

Which kids are at risk of severe influenza? Our work on pediatric influenza associated mortality was just published - it was an honor to contribute. 👇 www.jpeds.com/article/S002... Not surprisingly, we conclude "Vaccination efforts should be enhanced to reduce influenza mortality."

tamiflu in hospitalised patients does not have the greatest efficacy but there is clear evidence of its use in post exposure profylaxis. It is important to bear that nuance in mind when discussing this. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39181596/ Can be important in zoonotic exposures
