An important milestone in the effort to eradicate all forms of polioviruses: SAGE endorsed wider use of the novel OPV2 vaccine - the first vaccine that was authorized under WHO EUL - to wipe out type 2 outbreaks. #endpolio @postpolionews @EndPolioNow polioeradication.org/news-post/inde…

Just out - our work showing larger or faster outbreak response vaccination campaigns are required to stop type 2 vaccine-derived poliovirus outbreaks. Led by @LVCooperPhD with @VaccineEpi @anandaonline @PascalMkanda @serawanyoike @MRC_Outbreak

we're recruiting! 1 postdoc in the lab to work (in London) on direct detection and @nanopore sequencing of poliovirus (mol biol experience needed) imperial.ac.uk/jobs/descripti… 1 postdoc to work on #polio epidemiology and modelling (initially remote) imperial.ac.uk/jobs/descripti… pls RT

Exciting opportunity to join the team and work on the challenges of polio eradication

Big milestone for IDDjobs at not even a year old! I’m glad it’s proving useful. Theres still more to do to get into every corner of our field though!

Our paper on Type 2 poliovirus detection after global withdrawal of the trivalent oral polio vaccine is out today @VaccineEpi @anandaonline @michelzaffran @mponssalort

Our paper with Nick @VaccineEpi modelling the epidemic pattern of enterovirus serotypes in Japan is out. science.sciencemag.org/content/361/64…

One of reasons for gender pay gap & slower promotion for women in academia? Let's stop assuming it's all about children. #structuralsexism twitter.com/sebuitendijk/s…
