The 13th Vaccination Week in the Americas (VWA) will be celebrated from April 25th to May 2nd, 2015. The regional slogan for VWA 2015 is “Boost your power! Get vaccinated!” Vaccines are weakened or killed pathogens that help your immune system fight diseases. Vaccines do not make you sick, but prepare your body to fight off disease when exposed to full strength pathogens in the future. Vaccines boost the power of your immune system and fight off more than 20 different vaccine-preventable diseases. To read more on how vaccines boost your power, check out: www.paho.org/vwa/

Mass Polio Vaccination Campaign Supported by WHO and UNICEF Kicks Off in Iraq
11 August 2014 – Iraq has launched a polio immunization campaign aiming to protect over four million children under the age of 5 throughout the country against the crippling disease.
The four-day campaign, undertaken by the Ministry of Health with the support of WHO and UNICEF, is part of the national response to the re-emergence of the polio virus earlier this year which ended nearly 14 years of Iraq's polio-free status.
“This campaign comes at a critical time while the country is witnessing a huge internal exodus of children fleeing violence and turmoil,” said Marzio Babille, UNICEF Iraq Representative. “This is a top priority for UNICEF. No child should be missed. No child should be paralysed.”
The campaign aims to reach children in conflict zones, displaced communities and host populations. The on-going violence in the country has precipitated the internal displacement of nearly 1.2 million people since the beginning of the year. Almost 200,000 have been displaced only in the last three days alone. UNICEF estimates half of that number are children.
“As the violence spreads, children are being displaced up to three times with their families, often living in overcrowded conditions where they are at a much higher risk of contracting infectious diseases,” said Dr Syed Jaffar Hussain, WHO Iraq Representative. “WHO is working with the national health authorities and partners to ensure that the health of all vulnerable populations, especially children, is protected against diseases like Polio.”
With two cases of polio in Iraq and a relatively high number of unvaccinated children due to difficulties in accessing families and children, especially in conflict zones and due to social reservations, Iraq has now become vulnerable to a wider outbreak of the crippling and incurable disease. WHO and UNICEF are helping health authorities reach children in 12 governorates, including the three governorates in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq where approximately 250,000 Iraqi children and 125,000 Syrian children have taken refuge.
“Iraq is one of seven countries included in a consolidated polio response plan by WHO and UNICEF that aims to reach 25 million children in the region with repeated doses of the vaccine. Everything possible must be done to reach all children and end polio forever,” said Chris Maher, WHO manager for polio eradication.

Traditionally, only women were responsible for child health, but slowly, the picture is changing. This father is waiting with his daughter outside Alupe District Hospital so she can receive her routine immunizations.
Using her handwritten immunization register, a nurse counts the vaccinations administered during the quarter.
At the end of each quarter, the nurse must review the registers to produce a vaccination coverage report. This report is compiled by hand and compares the number of children scheduled for vaccination with the number of children vaccinated.

Facts about Immunization for Polio..!!!
Polio is a very dangerous health problem which is found globally. To prevent Polio Inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) should be taken at the correct time. IPV is made from wild poliovirus of each serotype which is killed in formalin.
1. Generally, 3 spaced doses are applied to produce sufficient levels of seroconversion, and a booster dose is added during late childhood.
2. IPV has been used favorably in the polio elimination programs in a few countries but until recently most of the countries have used the oral polio vaccine.
3. IPV provides serum immunity to all three types of poliovirus, and thus this result in protection against paralytic poliomyelitis.

This is a general guidance tip! Each and every person’s condition might be different, It would be wise to consult your physician before you put any into practice.

LOT Community, the non-profit that helps companies of all sizes and throughout industries defend themselves in opposition to patent trolls by making a shared pool of patents to immunize themselves in opposition to them, as we speak introduced that TikTik guardian ByteDance is becoming a member of its group.
ByteDance has acquired its justifiable share of patents in recent times and is itself embroiled in a patent struggle with its rival Triller. That’s not what becoming a member of the LOT Community is about, although. ByteDance is becoming a member of a gaggle of firms right here that features the likes of IBM, the Coca-Cola Firm, Cisco, Lyft, Microsoft, Oracle, Goal, Tencent, Tesla, VW, Ford, Waymo, Xiaomi and Zelle. In whole, the group now has over 1,300 members.
As LOT CEO Ken Seddon instructed me, the six-year-old group had a report yr in 2020, with 574 firms becoming a member of it and bringing its set of immunized patents to over 3 million, together with 14% of all patents issued within the U.S.
Among the many core options of LOT, which solely fees members who make greater than $25 million in annual income, is that its members aren’t shedding management over the patents they add to the pool. They'll nonetheless purchase and commerce them as earlier than, but when they determine to promote to what the business calls a ‘patent assertion entity,’ (PAE) that's, a patent troll, they routinely present a free licence to that patent to each different member of the group.

The flu vaccine is recommended for everyone age 6 months and older. While seasonal influenza (flu) viruses can be detected year-round in the United States, flu viruses are most common during the fall and winter. The exact timing and duration of flu seasons can vary, but influenza activity often begins to increase in October. Most of the time flu activity peaks between December and February, although activity can last as late as May.
