Be aware of hidden #KLM hidden charges. NO FARE FOR BOOKING CODE. KLM will downgrade a booking class when you want to make a change and then requesting a 1000€ fee to upgrade for another class, while original class is avaible. This is despicable business practice KLM.!!

The reach of #RiftValley fever is expanding, yet no vaccines are currently approved for human use. We’re looking to change that ⬇️💉

#Lassa fever has plagued parts of West Africa for >50 years – with no vaccine to defend against it. But CEPI is making strides to change this, laying the foundations for the 1st-ever Phase 3 Lassa vaccine efficacy trial in West Africa 🔬👩🏿‍🔬

There is still a lot of work to do on #pandemicpreparedness, and at the #WHOPandemicHub, we are working on the most important recommendations for "fit-for-purpose surveillance systems".

[CEPI @CEPIvaccines]

We need to create a ‘library’ of vaccine candidates that are ready to be pulled off the shelf and swiftly adapted next time Disease X emerges. That way, we don’t lose valuable time creating a new vaccine from scratch. #100DaysMission https://t.co/ZIf695vJAX

Instead of working to make vaccines against each unique coronavirus or variant, what if we could provide broad protection across the field through an all-in-one coronavirus shot? 🔬 🌍 https://t.co/kgKzLv8ySJ

This week, we had the pleasure of co-hosting a workshop in Abuja 🇳🇬, with @NCDC. Scientists gathered from across West Africa to review progress of their ongoing #LassaFever research as part of the Enable study—the largest ever Lassa fever study 🧵(1/10)

[Chikwe Ihekweazu @Chikwe_I]

Delighted to see @WHO convene a meeting with @CEPIvaccines @NCDCgov @AfricaCDC in Abuja, to deliberate the options we have as a global community to accelerate the development & licensure of #Lassafever vaccines

Proud of the role of West African institutions in driving this work
