Vaccines have saved more than 150 million lives since 1974 — not by accident, but because ordinary people made the decision to protect themselves, their children and one another.
That’s 6 lives every minute, every day, for more than 5 decades. #VaccinesWork
Your decision makes a difference. Get vaccinated.
¡GRACIAS INFINITAS, MUCHACHOS! No alcanzan las palabras para agradecerles cómo defendieron la camiseta. Nos hicieron llorar, gritar y, sobre todo, volver a creer. ¡Son eternos! 🩵🤍🏆

CEPI has recently published its 2025 Annual Progress Report – a timely reflection of a year that reinforced why epidemic and pandemic preparedness is more important than ever.

For 100 years, the Weekly Epidemiological Record (WER) has documented the evolving story of global public health, one week at a time.
First published in April 1926 by the Health Office of the League of Nations, the WER began as a simple bulletin: telegraphed reports tracking the spread of five notifiable diseases – cholera, plague, smallpox, yellow fever and typhus.
The publication was entrusted to the @WHO when the Organization was established in 1948.
Today, on its 100th anniversary, the WER is becoming a digital publication, and continues to provide timely epidemiological information: https://t.co/DLCOr488eq
🦺 For many workers, heat is a serious hazard.
1.5 billion workers - 25% of the global workforce - work outdoors. These workers
face health risks from extreme heat and pollution.
Protections for outdoor workers in the heat must include:
📋 A written plan, agreed with workers, on what to do when it gets dangerously hot.
⏸ Scheduled rest breaks in a cooling area and/or change in working schedule
💧 Access to drinking water, hygienic toilets, and handwashing stations throughout
the shift
🧢 Appropriate heat-protective and personal protection equipment
👥 Buddy checks for early signs of heat illness
🛑 The right and permission to stop work when feeling unwell
Check guidance that helps employers and governments protect workers from
extreme heat https://t.co/7ISFeesdfK

Happy to share our new manuscript detailing pandemic preparedness lessons. This paper is a deep dive into how we can leverage vaccine design and manufacturing to better prepare for emerging global health threats like H5N1 #H5N1#PandemicPreparedness#Vaccines
La enfermedad de Chagas es la principal endemia que enfrenta la Argentina. Si bien no hay estadísticas recientes, la Organización Panamericana de la Salud (OPS) estima que existen 1.500.000 de infectados en nuestro país.
En Chaco, las limitantes geográficas y de recursos son las que determinan la efectividad con la que se está combatiendo la erradicación de las vinchucas, que son las que transmiten la enfermedad.

"Stay curious, adopt the right attitude and stay on the track no matter how long and winding that road may be,” said medicine laureate Katalin Karikó.

@Emova_arg@basubte Imposible pagar con NFC en Estación Pueyrredón línea D. Los Findes de semana siempre tildado. Una vergüenza el servicio y el personal a cargo.
Bacteria use the enzyme glucansucrase to build long, sticky chains of sugars called glucans, using the sugar in our diet. These glucans glue the bacteria to the surfaces of our teeth, forming a biofilm that is difficult to remove #WorldOralHealthDay

Luis Leloir discovered a completely new class of biological compounds – sugar nucleotides – and showed that they are fundamental to the metabolism of carbohydrates. He was awarded the 1970 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Since it first emerged in 1996, H5N1 avian influenza (also known as "bird flu") has led to the death and culling of millions of birds across the globe

@Emova_arg 1 solo molinete NFC en la estación Pueyrredón línea D es insuficiente! Hay q habilitar más, se tilda muy rápido, impresentable 2 min de espera!
Happy to see our pandemic influenza project moving forward! A great example of private-public collaboration. Thanks @CEPIvaccines for your support! #mRNAvaccines#LMIC
📣 In a milestone for South America, Argentina’s @Sinergiumbio will start a CEPI-supported preclinical study of a mRNA vaccine technology. It is among the first mRNA vaccine platforms to be assessed on the continent | @WHO@MedsPatentPool@pahowho
