Today, on 🌍 World TB Day, we reflect on the continued burden of tuberculosis and the importance of developing new tools to combat it. New TB vaccines may offer an important opportunity to reduce TB transmission and save lives. #EndTB #WorldTBday

World TB Day. 24 March New tools will also be needed to end TB. New TB vaccines are currently in development, and preparing for their introduction will require strong evidence to guide policy decisions. 📅 8 April 2026 🔗 Registration link in comments #WorldTBDay #EndTB

The “White Death,” TB, has followed humanity for thousands of years. In the last 200 years, it has killed ~1 billion people and remains the deadliest infectious disease globally. But TB is preventable and treatable. #WorldTBDay #EndTB #VACFA youtu.be/GFLb5h2O2Ww?si…

📑 At this month’s VACFA NISH Journal Club, MSc Public Health student, Ms Lubayna Khan, presented her research on healthcare worker preparedness for maternal RSV vaccination in South Africa. 🌍 #RSV #MaternalVaccination #VACFA #VaccinesSave #PublicHealth

Sr Hilary Basson is a researcher, a trained PICU nurse and a mom of two boys. She understands that HPV does not only affect girls. Vaccinating boys helps prevent HPV-related cancers and reduces transmission. That is why she is choosing to vaccinate her boys. #OneLessWorry

Dr Edina Amponsah-Dacosta is a virologist, vaccinologist, and researcher. She has studied viruses. She has researched vaccines. She understands the science behind them. She chose to get vaccinated, and now has #onelessworry The HPV vaccine is safe. #vaccinessavelives

🌍 #HPVAwarenessDay: 📊 Despite bearing nearly one-third of the world’s cervical cancer deaths, the African region has made remarkable progress: ✅ HPV vaccine introduction now spans 31 countries across the continent #HPVAwarenessDay #VACFA #VaccinesSaveLives #OneLessWorry

🔬 Diseases such as measles, mumps, rubella and meningitis can lead to permanent hearing loss if not prevented. Vaccines significantly reduce these risks. #WorldHearingDay #VaccinesWork #VaccinesProtect #HumanlyPossible

South Africa: From 2 February to 27 March 2026, school health nurses visit public schools to offer a single dose HPV vaccine, at no cost, to eligible girls aged 9 - 15 years. 🦠 Human papillomavirus (HPV) causes multiple cancers in women and men.

🌍 🎓 As #AAVC2025 draws to a close, today’s final session focused on the power of confidence, communication, and collaboration in driving vaccine uptake and trust across the continent.. #Vaccinology #PublicHealth #Immunisation #VaccineConfidence #ScienceCommunication
