Podcasts about immunisation

Following the COVID-19 pandemic – which disrupted immunisation efforts around the world – data from the World Health Organization (WHO) shows Ukraine made remarkable progress restoring its inoculation programmes. However, the full-scale Russian invasion of February 2022 has wreaked havoc with the country's health infrastructure, displaced millions, and led to outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases like measles and pertussis.In an interview with UN News's Evgeniya Kleshcheva, the national official who oversees immunisation at the WHO Country Office in Ukraine, Yevgenii Grechukha, outlines the severe impact of the war, highlights the fight against vaccine misinformation, and how the UN agency's been working to improve access for those displaced.

I wanted to be happy when I saw the headlines... I've campaigned for RSV immunisation a lot over the last year since they were approved by the EMA.I did NOT think I'd have to revisit this topic after I read the finer detail.Unfortunately Minister for Health, Stephen Donnelly has launched a half baked plan which will leave hundreds of babies still facing hospitalisation and ICU again this Winter.I don't like to give criticism without being constructive, so in this episode, I speak to Minister Donnelly to try to implore him to see the solutions to any impediments he foresees as an unnecessary challenge. If he is not answerable, then it's worth asking the question...who exactly is? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

You will recall a previous podcast about preventing Neisseria gonorrhoea through an effective vaccine. Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a ubiquitous sexually transmitted bacteria that can cause both localised and systemic disease if left untreated. It may be transmitted to neonates. We also reported on a rise of the gonorrhoea incidence, as well as increasing rates of antibiotic resistance. Today we will revisit the implementation of vaccinations against gonorrhoea in the UK. Here is an exciting up-date on the advice provided by UK's Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, JCVI, on using the vaccine 4CMebB OMV against Meningococcus used off-label for the prevention of gonorrhoea infection • in patients at significant risk of infection with bacterial STIs who • attend specialist sexual health services.

The Rockefeller Foundation is one of the world's oldest and largest philanthropies. It was launched in 1910 with funds from oil, but in 2020, unveiled a plan to divest its US$5bn endowment from existing fossil fuel interests and refrain from future investments in the sector. The foundation has also committed to invest US$1bn of programme resources into collaborations and partnerships in the areas of energy, food, health and financial systems.This is with the aim of creating the changes possible to keep 1.5 degrees alive as a global temperature target, and protect three billion people on Earth, who live in countries vulnerable to future climate transitions.To talk about The Rockefeller Foundation's climate strategy, and so-called Big Bets philanthropy, , its president Dr Rajiv Shah,  joined Maysa in the The Impact Room shortly before the UAE hosted COP28.Optimistic that we have the science and know-how to curb climate change, Dr Raj admits a lot still comes down to financing. “I hope to see absolute serious financing solutions being provided to emerging and developing economies to allow them to access the renewable energy technology frontier that is so defining the global transition in terms of climate and wealthy economies,” he says.And he adds: “In an age of abundance, we don't need to have nearly a billion people living in energy poverty, 800 million people hungry every night, and girls still experiencing deep vulnerability and discrimination around the planet.”Collaboration is a recurring theme in the interview and Dr Raj says Global North investors needed to “drive more capital into emerging economies and developing economies to ensure everyone benefits from an accelerated climate transition.”Dr Raj joined the Rockefeller Foundation in 2015 after six years at the helm of the US foreign aid agency, USAID, leading it during the response to the Haiti earthquake and the West African Ebola pandemic.The founder of Latitude Capital, a private equity firm focused on power and infrastructure projects in Africa and Asia, he has also worked at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, where he created the International Financing Facility for Immunisation, and he has served as a Distinguished Fellow in Residence at Georgetown University in Washington DC.Dr Raj's book, Big Bets: How Large-Scale Change Really Happens, is designed to inspire nonprofit leaders re-imagine how they approach social impact.About the hostMaysa Jalbout is a leader in international development and philanthropy.

In this episode Steph speaks with Dr. Rod Pearce, the Chair of the Immunisation Coalition and former member of the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI). They discuss the National Immunisation Program (NIP) in Australia, its history, how vaccines are included and how vital the program is for all of us. They highlight the complex process of funding and decision-making, with tensions between medical recommendations and government funding. They also touch on the eligibility criteria for vaccines and the involvement of various healthcare providers. Dr. Pearce emphasises the importance of public discussion and awareness regarding vaccines that are recommended but not funded. The episode provides insights into the NIP's evolution and challenges. Visit Immunisation Foundation of Australia for more information Host Steph O'Connell is a public health advocate with 25 years' experience in strategic communications. She became a public voice for vaccinations when her daughter, Lily (23), narrowly survived W strain of Meningococcal on Christmas Day, 2017. Nine months later her sister, Grace, donated a kidney that has since transformed Lily's life.  Steph's advocacy for immunisation awareness and vaccination became a collaboration in 2018 with Meningococcal Australia and resulted in Meningococcal vaccination campaigns by the Australian Government Department of Health and NSW Health. Lily's story quickly resonated with audiences and became a national and international appeal for awareness, education and vaccination.  Steph's work expanded during the pandemic and today she continues to advocate for improved access to vaccines, public education for lifelong vaccination behaviour and policy reform. MatterofVax, in collaboration with Immunisation Foundation of Australia takes a look at topical immunisation issues on video and podcast.  Matter of Vax is produced by Ampel, for Immunisation Foundation of Australia. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this Healthed lecture, Professor Nicholas Wood will discuss the importance of checking patients' immune status for vaccine-preventable diseases, knowing what's recommended even if it's not funded as well as updating clinicians on what's new in the vaccination space and where these new vaccines are expected to fit in to the current schedule.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Community health clinics are again offering incentives in a bid to get people immunised before winter. It's a formula that's worked in the past, with covid vaxathons drawing people in their hundreds with the promise of freebies for those getting a jab. Covid's now just one of the priorities, with measles-mumps-rubella and the flu all being covered off at the same time. Tom Taylor reports.

There's a distinct 'lack of urgency' to get the latest covid booster - and experts say that needs to change. The updated Omicron-targeted vaccine has been available for those over 30 years old since the start of April. Dr Nikki Turner, medical director of the Immunisation Advisory Centre, believes there are a range of reasons why uptake has been slow.

Dr. Tom Nehmy is a clinical psychologist with more than 15 years experience. His passion is preventing psychological problems in people of all ages while also enhancing resilience and wellbeing. His doctoral research in developing the ‘Healthy Minds Program' produced the world's first prevention program to prevent the onset of symptoms of depression and anxiety while also reducing risk for eating disorders. This conversation was a ripper; super relevant, super interesting and super potentially, super helpful for many. Among other things, we chatted about the influence of diet, exercise, socialisation (connection), sleep, genetics, environment and our addiction to comfort, on mental health. Tom is something of an academic pioneer, a rebel, brilliant researcher, great science communicator and most important, he's a bit sweary.

An epidemiologist says it's time to 'de-prioritise' the response to Covid 19 - a disease he says will now be no worse than the flu for the majority of the population. There has been a surge in cases recently, and the government's decided to keep the seven day isolation period in place for now. One expert says the focus needs to be just on the elderly, and Māori and Pasifika over 60. Robin Martin has the story.

The parents of a four-month-old baby urgently needing a heart operation are refusing to allow blood from the blood bank to be used in their son's surgery because they believe its contaminated with Covid 19 vaccine. The Health Agency Te Whatu Ora is asking that the baby be placed under the guardianship of the court, and then for the court to appoint the doctors as agents of the court for medical care. The parents of a twin boy want to use the blood of unvaccinated people and say they've got enough approved donors to do it. The High Court will hear the case next week. Dr Nikki Turner is the medical director of the Immunisaton Advisory Centre. She talks to Lisa Owen.

Recently, people have increasingly started to look for alternative and natural immunisation methods.Homeoprophylaxis is the use of homeopathy as a preventive medicine or immunisation method against infectious diseases, and has been successfully implemented since the late 18th century.

They go over the fundamentals of homeoprophylaxis, while breaking down the myths and truths behind this fascinating approach to immunity.Plus Dylan shares immunisations from an Ayurvedic perspective.IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:
