[Isaac Bogoch @BogochIsaac]

Ontario is currently experiencing a measles outbreak, with the vast majority of cases occurring in unvaccinated individuals who were eligible to receive the vaccine.

The measles vaccine is safe, free, widely available, and very effective.

[Ultan Power @UltanPower]

In an era when the MMR vaccine efficacy and safety is very well documented, it is a tragedy that a person from a rich country like the USA loses their life to measles infection. People seem to have forgotten how nasty measles can be!

[Hannah Norman-Bruce @HannahRubyNB]

So proud of the PRECISE TEAM…

Christmas is a magical time for children but can be a very dangerous time for babies. Never ever fall asleep with your baby on an armchair or sofa. Safest place for your baby is in a cot or moses basket for the first 6 months. @BelfastTrust @RCPCHIreland #childhealthmatters

Excellent summary from Jon Cohen about the halting of Moderna's infant RSV vaccine studies after possible disease augmentation. Very few cases, uncertain significance but trial halted. Watch this space. https://t.co/rArYbzbEoN

Acknowledging every winter feels worse than the last - interesting data to support anecdote it feels tougher than normal out there.

RSV not only peaking to record levels (still incredible how closely it is tracking 2019) but does seem more virulent this year

?peak next week🤞

[Damian Roland @Damian_Roland]

Does #RSV feel just that little more vexatious this year?

Or is it your memory playing tricks on you...

Actually might be the former!

(and still not at peak compared to 2019 yet) 🙄

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

90% of people in #Gaza are now living in tents, leaving them vulnerable to respiratory and other diseases, food insecurity and malnutrition as winter approaches.

The ultimate solution to this suffering is not aid, but peace.

A nice break down in the thread

[Hannah Norman-Bruce @HannahRubyNB]

Huge day for @fido_study. An incredible project…this is one of many great FIDO publications addressing the importance of safely modernising Febrile infant assessment

[RCPCH @RCPCHtweets]

We're calling on the Government to make #FreeSchoolMeals available to all primary school children after new research from @ImpUrbanHealth reveals children felt healthier, stronger and could concentrate better.

"Death was present.
Every Minute.
The people were lying down, infected with #measles, especially the children, because of the lack of something as essential as the vaccine."

Today, Julia is a nurse saving lives in #Mexico 🇲🇽 - this is her story ⬇️

[RCPCHIreland @RCPCHIreland]

Important to have child poverty on the Agenda today at Public Health 'Poverty as a Driver of Poor Mental Health Seminar' today represented by Dr Anne Marie McClean. With 1 in 4 children in NI living in poverty @RCPCHIreland highlights again the need for an anti-poverty strategy.

🧠🦻 Exciting Research Update! New study published in @PIDJournal investigates whether antiviral treatment can reduce the risk of development of hearing loss (HL) in infants with asymptomatic & mild congenital #Cytomegalovirus (cCMV). 👶🦠 Let's dive in! 🧵👇

Excited to be launching on Monday at the RBHSC… @PERUKItweep @ni_pear

Be careful everyone, this happened in greystones. The lady's daughter was scammed out of €1000, using a QR code that she scanned to pay for parking.

Characterisation of respiratory syncytial virus after #nirsevimab breakthrough infections
1% (RSV genotype A) and 8% (RSV genotype B) strains are resistant
The findings support the use of #nirsevimab as prophylaxis for all neonates
