Do you work with flu diagnostics?
I'd really value your input! I'm running an anonymous survey on current flu serology testing practices and future diagnostic needs.

Delighted to say that our manuscript has been published in Vaccine: "Time of day of vaccination does not influence antibody responses to pneumococcal and annual influenza vaccination in a cohort of healthy older adults" lnkd.in/eT4VP6nj

1/In a study of individuals over 50 years old receiving pneumococcal and annual influenza vaccines, we found that the time of vaccination (morning or afternoon) did not affect short- or long-term antibody responses.

4/These findings suggest that while the timing of vaccination is not critical, further work is needed to ensure all older adults are adequately protected.

3/The study also revealed that responses vary depending on the specific vaccine components, with particularly weak responses to the influenza B Victoria strain.

2/While most participants maintained their immune response for up to a year, 18% showed suboptimal responses, emphasizing the need for improved vaccines to protect older adults.

📢New Correspondence: Suboptimal #measles immunity in UK healthcare workers, in @TheLancet
Cohort 1 (n=200): 3% measles IgG-, 4% equivocal
Cohort 2 (n=413): 13% IgG-, 8% equivocal
HCWs born 1998-2004 highest % IgG-, likely due to low 💉uptake

Highlighting that Mpox an ongoing global infection risk 👇We are working on diagnostics with @asherichia @sfaustini to support seroprevalence and immunogenicity studies 🧪
In South Africa, today, the Health Minister reported the first death due to Mpox. In addition, 5 cases are now confirmed since 8 May 2024. Suggesting that SA is experience its first large outbreak of Mpox. A summary thread on what we know on the Mpox situation in SA⬇️
