The Wall Against Disease- OLD is GOLD The OLD image conveys a crucial message that all these elements (basic education about disease, careful physician, Efficient health officers, Efficient disease management, Responsibility of govt/health authorities and many more) must collaborate to construct a robust "wall against disease." Each brick represents a vital component in our collective defence against illness. If any brick weakens or is missing, the disease can breach this barrier, potentially re-entering human civilization, even if it has already been eradicated. Let's commit to reinforcing every brick in this wall, ensuring a healthier future for all. #DiseasePrevention #PublicHealth #Healthcare #Vaccination #DiseaseEducation #GlobalHealth #HealthAwareness Image Credit : https://lnkd.in/e7Gkt4Jx

I want to emphasize the critical importance of shingles awareness, particularly for our elderly population and those who are immunocompromised. Shingles can pose serious risks, leading to painful symptoms and long-lasting complications. Did you know that 1 in 3 adults will develop shingles? For older adults, the risk of experiencing debilitating postherpetic neuralgia (nerve pain) increases significantly. The CDC recommends that all adults aged 50 and older receive the shingles vaccine. It’s a powerful way to reduce your risk and protect your health! Speak with your healthcare provider about vaccination options. Together, we can foster a healthier, safer environment for everyone.

Over the years in my clinical practice, I have witnessed the profound suffering of adult patients with severe respiratory infections. Each patient's journey was unique, yet a common thread connected them all — much of their suffering could have been prevented through vaccination. Today, I will be discussing the clinical presentation, progression, and outcomes of vaccine-preventable respiratory infections. To those attending ERS 2024 in Vienna, I look forward to seeing you there! #ers2024 #vaccinessavelives #vaccinepreventablediseases #respiratoryinfections
