RT @HelenBranswell: “I think we missed that train at this point."
I asked a number of experts what they think the prospects are for containing the global #monkeypox outbreak. My questions weren't met with much optimism. https://www.statnews.com/2022/07/19/monkeypox-spread-many-experts-believe-the-virus-cant-be-contained/

More general-public friendly content is e.x. in the Director's video message on the same topic.
Sometimes it is necessary to differentiate messaging to cater different audiences needs.

RT @SKyriakidesEU: With #Monkeypox cases continuing to increase in 🇪🇺 we continue to act decisively to protect our citizens.
Working rapidly through #HERA we have now secured more than 50,000 additional doses of vaccine to respond promptly to the spread of this virus.

RT @EMA_News: #Covid19 update:
EMA has started evaluating a request to extend the use of the #COVID19vaccine Comirnaty, in children from 6 months to 4 years.
RT @EU_Health: The pandemic shows that health threats know no borders.
We need🌍global cooperation on preparedness & strengthened health systems.
But what should this look like?
#EUHaveYourSay until 19 September!
RT @EuropeLiver: It’s better to know your status as soon as possible because today, people with #HBV can live with a long life expectancy, and those with #HCV can be cured. Get tested!

RT @SKyriakidesEU: ▶️🇪🇺 Scientific Advice Platform discussed the latest on #COVID19 and #Monkeypox.
With #COVID19 numbers rising @ECDC_EU and @EMA_News published recommendations for preparing vaccination campaigns and health systems for the autumn.
We must use this time to get ready.
RT @Max_Riess: Just before the heatwave is coming to Northern Europe: warm water offers better conditions for vibrio to grow, so be careful when bathing with wounds in warm (20 degrees) water bodies of the Baltic Sea!

The continuous monitoring of vaccines and their effectiveness is essential to rapidly detect signals of waning protection and the deployment of additional booster doses among population groups most at risk should be based on the local epidemiological situation.

RT @SKyriakidesEU: I once again urge everyone to seek vaccination, including second boosters for over 60s as well as those who are vulnerable.
Today’s updated recommendations on vaccination and surveillance of respiratory diseases will support the monitoring of #COVID19 and any future pandemics.
RT @SKyriakidesEU: #COVID19 infections are again on the rise across 🇪🇺which is leading to an increase in severe cases, hospital admissions, and mortality.
We need to act now to address this and be prepared for autumn. Vaccination remains our strongest protection against severe disease and death.
