🎉 New paper published in Vaccine.
With 281M STI cases in 2020, and drug-resistant gonorrhoea rising, a vaccine is urgently needed.
The gonorrhoea human challenge model could accelerate development, but how feasible is it?

Just finished reading ‘Pro-vax’, by Samantha Vanderslott.
In her new book, Sam pioneers a much-needed shift in the discourse surrounding #vaccination by spotlighting the often overlooked dimension of pro-vaccine activism.
A must-read for anyone working in the world of #vaccines & #publichealth.
Every year, it is estimated that typhoid and paratyphoid combined cause 13 million cases, resulting in 133 thousand deaths, mainly affecting school-aged children in Asia and Africa.
But have you heard of these diseases before? Learn more in our new video: https://youtu.be/-ziqgNxyRnI
graph showing measles cases in England and Wales, starting from 1940 until 2022. A large number of measles cases can be seen, especially between 1940 and 1968, until the first measles vaccine was introduced in 1968. Cases of measles declined considerably. In 1998 the first dose of the combined MMR vaccine was introduced, and a second dose in 1996. After this, the cases are so very low that you cant see them on the graph, showing the positive impact of vaccination.
Measles is a very infectious disease, but it can be prevented.
Since a measles #vaccine was introduced in the UK in 1968, the UK Health Security Agency estimates that 20 million measles cases, and 4,500 deaths, have been prevented.

Hi 👋 I’m Charlie, a second year DPhil (PhD) student at the University of Oxford!
My DPhil is looking into the acceptability, feasibility, and perceptions surrounding the changing of immunisation schedules.
I thought I’d start off with four of my fav moments from the past year!
