Come join our Team- a RO/SRO position (https://t.co/4tSrxHHVSv) and a funded PhD scholarship (https://t.co/s7aVecV2P0) working us @syd_health@Sydney_ID on immunisation, disease surveillance, #Pacific and #SEAsia. We promise good food & good vibes.

Come take a look at our work on the dev. of machine learning clinical decision support system for HBV diagnosis@ #ICEID2022 on Tue, 9 Aug. I look forward to connecting with others working on the clinical mgt of viral hepatitis and other fundamental infectious disease via ML.
Next week at #ICEID2022, public health professionals will gather in Atlanta from Aug 7-10 to talk about the latest information on emerging and re-emerging infections. To learn more, visit https://t.co/s4xG0drorM.
"Hepatitis B elimination will only be possible if we ensure that no one is left behind."
@merusheel & colleagues write in @ConversationEDU about new data to inform prevention & care of #HepatitisB in Nigeria 👇👇https://t.co/SgaTmGSMSN
Could the Omicron variant have been avoided?
Potentially yes. If we want to minimize & avoid these recurrences and variant emergence we need global action. My OpED in the @guardian@bkjabour

A new study examining the impact of the global polio vaccine campaign has identified important lessons that "should be considered for #CovidVaccine roll-outs over coming years", says #ANUExpert@merusheel.

Sharing our stellar student @BusayoAjuwon first PhD paper 👏🏾🙌🏽- systematic review on HepB virus infection in Nigeria -> estimated pooled prevalence of 9.5%; with sig sub-national variation in regions >12% #hbv

We’re improving our Nigeria Field Epidemiology Training Programme, as we train more disease detectives
In the last 1 week, we’ve held skill building sessions with graduates of the programme now serving as mentors for trainees
Grateful for support @InstituteGC@AfenetNigeria
We did it! #AFROPLAS is happening in Uganda with boots on the ground in the form of @capicchio and Ugandan colleagues. We are piloting the plasma separation card after the success with #HBVCOMSAVA in greater Barcelona. #NoHep@EASLnews@ICE_HBV@GlobalHep@ISGLOBALorg
#COVID19 negatively affected #hepatitis B services worldwide. We join @HepBFoundation and @ArafatBwambalem @C_Pley @pippa_matt to discuss the short and long-term impacts of the #pandemic on hepatitis B elimination.
Join us on 24 March 2:00PM - 3:00PM GMT: https://t.co/WgJU56imll
Modelling by @WHO & @imperialcollege warns that — due to COVID-19's impact on services — more than 5m additional children born between 2020-2030 could contract hepatitis B.
A million of those children could die as a result.
Hepatitis services MUST continue during the pandemic
Improving access to testing is key to increasing hepatitis diagnosis rates. Find out how #civilsociety can help governments, health institutions and other stakeholders to make testing more accessible on our #FindTheMissingMillions online advocacy resource: https://t.co/PZy7AmXSnA
