Resistant bacterial infections cause nearly 5 million deaths every year.

to reduce the use & overuse of antibiotics, which are key drivers of .

(AMR) occurs when:
🔸 bacteria
🔸 viruses
🔸 fungi
🔸 parasites
no longer respond to medicines, ↗️ the risk of disease spread, severe illness & death.

Vaccines are highly effective tools in combating by:
🎯 directly targeting resistant bacteria
🩹 reducing the incidence of both resistant & susceptible infections, thereby ⬇️ consumption, which is a key driver of AMR.

The analysis identifies 61 vaccine candidates in various stages of clinical development, including several vaccine candidates against priority pathogens that are in late stages of development. Most of these vaccines will not be available anytime soon.

The new report stresses that access to these vaccines should be increased globally, especially among populations that need them most in limited resource settings.

There are two important parts of treatment:
• Maintenance: What you do every day.
• Exacerbations: What you do when you get sick and have a change in symptoms.

New in CDC MMWR: The risk of heart complications, such as myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle), was higher after having COVID-19 than after getting one or more mRNA COVID-19 vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna), in both males and females of all ages.

COVID-19 vaccines help protect against COVID-19 and complications. Everyone ages 5 years and older should stay up to date with their COVID-19 vaccinations. Find out more: bit.ly/MMWR7114

March 24 is World Tuberculosis (TB) Day. TB kills more than 4,000 people per day, making it the second leading infectious killer in the world (after COVID-19). Reduced access to health services during the coronavirus pandemic has reduced the number of people being diagnosed and treated for TB resulting in increased TB deaths, hindering years-long progress in disease control. The only existing TB vaccine is 100 years old, but recent scientific breakthroughs are cause for optimism that novel, more effective TB vaccines can be developed. NIAID is leveraging recent advances in immunology and innovative vaccine technologies to support development of promising and new TB vaccine candidates. Read more at https://bit.ly/3qzReMp
