For more than two decades, the Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization (SAGE) has guided global immunization strategies, informed @WHO recommendations, ultimately protecting millions of lives thanks to the the power of safe and effective vaccines. At a time when misinformation on vaccines spreads faster than viruses and trust in institutions and science is being tested; independence, transparency, research and evidence are more important than ever. I thank the experts from around the world representing SAGE for lending their expertise, and @WHO looks forward to receiving and reviewing SAGE's latest policy recommendations this week.

You have a meeting with the CMO of your hospital. You get 1 request and the administration has to make it happen. What is your request? You can’t ask for more money. Anything else is fair game.

@lisabodnar Most manuscript software (eg ManuscriptCentral) has the Editor score each review numerically. Any Editor assigning reviewers in the future gets a look at that reviewers score history.

@lisabodnar Move on. Inappropriate reviews happen. That is why usually 3 reviews for full length papers. You are free to rebut or revise for all substantive comments. Editors can’t control reviewer comments but try to trust a fair aggregate decision in the end.

@EricTopol @CDCMMWR Still seems to indicate that assuming 2 or more prior monovalent doses, doesn’t matter much whether Bivalent is at 6 months vs 2 months.

Terrible news from Peru where a coup a la Fujimori is being announced. This is unacceptable: Peruvians and the international community can't tolerate a return to a dictatorship.
