Watch as Jennifer Bacani McKenney, MD, a family physician in Kansas, explains how the virus that causes chickenpox can lay dormant in the body, leading to shingles, which most commonly affects older adults. Fortunately, safe immunization is available for adults over fifty to prevent shingles. Be Immune Kansas is a coalition of primary care providers and healthcare organizations across the state who are dedicated to building a healthier Kansas by raising immunization rates. As healthcare providers, we want all Kansans to live full and healthy lives, free from unnecessary threats of flu and other potentially serious illnesses.

Otitis media is the number one cause for physician visits and antibiotic use in children. While most cases of otitis media are acute and may resolve spontaneously, the incidence rate is high. Pneumococcal vaccination in early life is one of the best means of prevention of all-cause otitis media. Learn more about otitis media here. https://lnkd.in/ekFUddSa

Drawing attention to the resurgence of an old threat, that was never fully eradicated. Thank you Natasha Crowcroft WHO Measles & Rubella Senior Technical advisor for this deeply resonating quote: “It's the usual human thing that no one does anything until the problem starts. It's really hard to sell prevention." The current global outbreak of measles highlights the critical need for sustained vigilance with vaccination & prevention measures. Moreover the Measles outbreak is yet another call to action to improve population health with better services for access, equity, education & cohesive community outreach. #measles #access #equity #education #vaccines #worldhealthorganization

In AIM’s first collaborative manuscript with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the authors highlighted state and local practices optimizing the pediatric COVID-19 vaccination program for children ages 6 months-11 years. Practices spanned several categories, including provider-focused, school-based, jurisdiction or health department-based, community-focused, vaccination incentive-related, and Medicaid-related practices.
