#MMR, #COVID19 booster, #pneumococcal and #RSV vaxxed all at once today. Hopefully they'll all still be available in the future, if we have one.

Anyway, get vaccinated if you possibly can. It's not safe out there.

The clinical diagnosis was co-infection with influenza A and severe invasive pneumoccocal disease complicated by pneumonia. He remains hospitalised in a serious condition," a spokesman for the CHP said.

Interested to hear from anyone who knows about prevention of #pneumococcal disease in older people (including those with #dementia).
Is the newer 20-valent #vaccine worth supporting greater access to?
I've seen a US report from January which seemed to suggest they were good value and more effective than currently used 13-valent ones.

Should the UK be using these to prevent outbreaks in care homes?

Together, this work, supports a new model in which competence activation during #infection is crucial to expose important virulence factors to the outside of the #pneumococcal cell. This model could explain why #CbpD mutants show reduced colonization.
