@seattledot long lines at airport to get light rail tickets. Why not add a few more kiosks? If we make transit easy people will use it! @KingCountyMetro

What an absolute joy to hear @abe_verghese speak tonight at the @SPLBuzz - his new book Covenant of Water is an amazing tome to the empathy and love in humanity with medicine and public health sprinkled in. Listen to the audiobook if you can to hear in his words.

Exciting to see continued evidence that one-dose of #HPV vaccine is effective in protecting against cervical cancer. A one-dose regimen will make it easier and more affordable to protect girls everywhere from the threat of cervical cancer. https://t.co/eZUc1SZvjV

[Gates Foundation @gatesfoundation]

Too many girls have missed out on #HPV vaccines. Yet, one dose of HPV vaccine can protect against viruses that cause cervical cancer. Ending cervical cancer everywhere is possible if communities have access to preventive, screening and treatment tools. https://t.co/yrTfj8hOJe

Congratulations Malawi for this important vaccine introduction! #VaccinesWork

[UNICEF Malawi @UNICEFMalawi]

Malawi 🇲🇼is the third African country (and sixth in the world) to introduce #Typhoid Conjugate vaccine into the routine immunization schedule. Children 9 months to just under 15 years of age are receiving this vaccine across Malawi🇲🇼.

Vaccines are the best tool for preventing #cervicalcancer and protecting girls.

That’s why we’re joining forces with partners to commit to reach 86 million adolescent girls with the life-saving #HPV vaccine by 2025: https://t.co/41XXztYcu9 #WorldImunizationWeek

@Quandaryult Woohoo for the score!

Cholera and typhoid are still killing people today as well. @gavi protects people's lives by increasing equitable and sustainable use of vaccines - including those that prevent cholera and typhoid! https://t.co/43TadR6KfM

@Quandaryult Congrats to @Quandaryult!!!

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women globally.

@WHO’s revised recommendation that 1 dose of #HPV vaccine offers comparable efficacy to 2 doses for girls 9-20 can expand access to protect more women and girls against the disease. https://t.co/0JmGMW32A3

This is simply disastrous. The demand forecast for cholera vaccine is considered unpredictable, yet we’re seeing outbreak after outbreak and insufficient vaccine to alleviate the disease in vulnerable populations with few other resources.

[andrew azman @andrewazman.bsky.social @andrewazman]

Now 17 days after #Haiti confirmed first cholera cases since 2019. Really hard situation in the country with limited water supply, health care etc. It's also still hurricane season! Despite having free access to #cholera vaccines, the country has yet to plan for any use.

[Violaine Mitchell @ViolaineMitchel]

oCongratulations Sierra Leone for introducing the lifesaving #HPV #vaccine into the routine immunisation schedule!

[Dr. Lokesh Sharma, PhD @Lokeshl85]

A study covering the 73 Gavi-supp. countries shows that,4 every US$ 1 spent on immunisation in the 2021-30 period, US$ 21 are saved in health care costs, lost wages and lost productivity due to illness and death ⁦@UNICEF⁩ ⁦@WHO⁩ ⁦@gavi⁩ https://t.co/6bQUOGfZl7
