A qualitative investigation into vaccine hesitancy and confidence among people managing allergy
Vaccine hesitancy is multifactorial, and among atopic individuals, is exacerbated by documented, but rare, cases of allergic reactions to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines.1 –3 Furthermore, conflicting information regarding the safety of COVID-19 vaccines may have caused confusion among individuals with a history of severe allergies. We performed semistructured qualitative interviews to better understand how some adults and families managing allergy perceive vaccine m essaging and what influences their decisions to be vaccinated.

We Can Prevent Overdose Deaths If We Change How We Think About Them
I’ve been living in recovery from opioid use disorder for eight and a half years, and this might be a weird thing to say about addiction, but I feel lucky—like I dodged a bullet. I was addicted to opioids in Florida throughout the early 2000s, during the heyday of pill mills that flooded the streets with powerful pharmaceuticals like OxyContin. I say I’m lucky because this was just before the drug supply turned into a toxic sludge of potent fentanyl analogues, mysterious tranquilizers, and deadly counterfeit pills. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if I were using today. The chances of my survival ...

Adverse events following immunisation (AEFI) of COVISHIELD vaccination among healthcare workers in Ghana
Conclusion
The results of our study indicate a high incidence of non-serious AEFI and the rare occurrence of serious AEFI after COVISHIELD vaccination in healthcare workers. The rate of AEFI was higher after the first dose than after the second dose. Sex, age, previous SARS-CoV-2 infection, allergies and comorbidity were not significantly associated with the onset and duration of AEFI.

Nanoparticle with mRNA appears to prevent, treat peanut allergies in mice
Key takeawaysPeanuts are one of the most common food allergens for children.UCLA scientists have developed a nanoparticle that delivers mRNA to liver cells in order to teach the immune system to tolerate peanut protein and alleviate allergies.In mice, the nanoparticle successfully dampened symptoms of serious allergy.Peanut allergies affect 1 in 50 children, and the most severe cases lead to a potentially deadly immune reaction called anaphylactic shock.Currently, there is only one approved treatment that reduces the severity of the allergic reaction, and it takes months to kick in. A group of UCLA immunologists is aiming ...

What Immunity Do Breast Milk Antibodies Confer?
Discussion
Breast milk (BM) has many benefits including its primary role providing appropriate nutrition for newborns and infants, which includes making those nutrients more bioavailable. While BM does not provide all of the nutritional needs over the entire year or two of breastfeeding, complimentary foods are important for furnishing additional nutritional needs along with helping development of appropriate taste and texture acceptance, along with oral-motor skills. Complimentary foods are recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics when the infant is developmentally ready which is commonly after 6 months of life. ...

Lipid nanoparticles technology in vaccines: Shaping the future of prophylactic medicine
Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces. 2022 Dec 20;222:113111. doi: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2022.113111. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThroughout decades, the intrinsic power of the immune system to fight pathogens has inspired researchers to develop techniques that enable the prevention or treatment of infections via boosting the immune response against the target pathogens, which has led to the evolution of vaccines. The recruitment of Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) as either vaccine delivery platforms or immunogenic modalities has witnessed a breakthrough recently, which has been crowned with the development of effective LNPs-based vacc...

Be Prepared For The Next Pandemic
Whether pro-vaccine or anti-vaccine, you’re not getting the complete Covid picture. That’s why it’s so important that you take steps to protect yourself.
When it comes to this virus, the truth is a moving target. This is partly because the virus is evolving but mostly because we just don’t have the data we need to make a truly informed decision.
And here’s one narrative no one is talking about…
Studies show that chemicals commonly found in food and consumer products weaken your immune system and make the symptoms of Covid worse — especially among those who are already vulnerable.1
You see, these toxins in...
