It is a tragedy that in 2024, we have measles in the UK due to low uptake of the vaccine.

This disease is completely preventable by vaccination and we must do everything we can to get people vaccinated.

What fantastic news. Many congratulations!

Today is the start of #WorldImmunizationWeek

Six lives a minute for the past 50 years, have been saved thanks to #immunisation

But there’s still work to do - nobody should suffer from a vaccine-preventable illness

Please share posts this week & help raise awareness

Thank you

Had a wonderful day with our friends CSL Seqirus, seeing their remarkable facilities; everyone seems so happy there -even the robots! Reviewed the great progress on our £5M collaboration on seasonal flu, avian influenza, vaccine access/equity.

Great work by everyone involved in this study, which has also concluded that large studies to evaluate the clinical impact and cost effectiveness of incorporating the FilmArray into routine testing are warranted.

Does dexamethasone improve verbal memory outcomes in herpes encephalitis? Answer: No. But no signal for harm either.

A great example of good science, persistence, and the importance of reporting negative trials. And Prof Tom Solomon CBE is an amazing speaker! #AANAM

Do corticosteroids improve the outcome of Herpes Encephalitis?

I’ll be answering this decades-old question at the American Academy of Neurology meeting tomorrow!
