New #preprint on "Older adults' #vaccine #hesitancy". Older adults are less aware/accepting of pneumococcal and shingles vaccines than the 'flu vaccine. Psychosocial predictors of hesitancy vary by vaccine. @UOSPsychology @lynnwilliams_ @VaxPsychStrath 📄https://t.co/ggBiTh8fnX

[Louise Brown Nicholls @LNichollsStrath]

Our work on uptake of a future #COVID19 #vaccination by adults at higher risk, led by @lynnwilliams_, has now been published #openaccess in BJHP! @VaxPsychStrath @StrathAgeing @strath_psh @UOSPsychology https://t.co/yULM6MzGpQ

BBC News - UK flu jab rates prompt complacency warning.
In Scotland in the under 65’s “at-risk” group the vaccination rate was 57.5% in 2014, gradually dropping to 43.3% last year. WHO recommend 75% take up.

[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

The potential for airborne spread of covid-19 has important practical implications for infection control, the prevention of outbreaks, and for the new social behaviours that are being implemented in an effort to control the pandemic

Vaccines usually take 10 years to develop, so how are researchers speeding up the process? ⤵️ | https://t.co/Z9DUvsKa4c

[Vaccination Behaviour Research @VaxPsychStrath]

We also had an infographic research summary developed for our recent study looking into factors affecting older adults' uptake of flu, pneumococcal (pneumonia) and shingles vaccines.

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to participate in our work over the past year!

[Vaccination Behaviour Research @VaxPsychStrath]

As we wrap up a few of our vaccine studies we are excited to share our findings! We've had infographic research summaries developed for two of our projects. Up first are the barriers and enablers to flu vaccine uptake in adults in Scotland with chronic respiratory conditions

[Vaccination Behaviour Research @VaxPsychStrath]

We still have a few spots for our webinar on Wednesday discussing our research aimed at increasing Vaccine Uptake in Scotland 🦠 💉

[Taskforce For Lung Health @lungtaskforce]

Flu vaccination rates in people with lung disease are consistently below our recommended targets. Find out more here: https://t.co/H4cJSdeZoj

What Would Happen If We Didn’t Have #Vaccines? Immunizations are intended to stop diseases like the coronavirus. But there are a range of other long-term societal benefits from vaccines. via @DiscoverMag

[Public Health Scotland @P_H_S_Official]

We currently know very little about how #Covid19 has been affecting the health and wellbeing of younger children in Scotland. Please ask parents/carers of 2-7 year olds to take part in this @P_H_S_Official survey: https://t.co/v9JLXzYSZm. Open for responses until 6 July.

[Vaccines4Life @vaccines4life]

Key UK stakeholders agree that a life course approach to vaccination is essential. Read the consensus statement recently released by @IntFedAgeing #VaccinesWork #Vaccines4Life https://t.co/WM08CFxKtt

[Vaccines4Life @vaccines4life]

‘We need to look at flu vaccination rates, but also immunisation against pneumococcal disease and shingles,’ says Dr Barratt ‘Many of the same people suffering the worst of the COVID-19 outbreak are also those who would benefit from these vaccines’ @janebarrattIFA @IntFedAgeing

[Asthma + Lung UK Scotland @asthmalungscot]

To make sure your experiences and views on shielding are heard by @P_H_S_Official take part in their survey, closing Sunday 14th June. 👇 https://t.co/5s3HO9xzDG 📝

[Positive Changes Covid-19 @PosChangesCo19]

We are urgently looking for Scottish men aged 18+ to take part in our survey examining the positive lifestyle changes brought about by social distancing. The survey takes 20 minutes:https://t.co/xtmV3y7d17
