For more than two decades, the Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization (SAGE) has guided global immunization strategies, informed @WHO recommendations, ultimately protecting millions of lives thanks to the the power of safe and effective vaccines.
At a time when misinformation on vaccines spreads faster than viruses and trust in institutions and science is being tested; independence, transparency, research and evidence are more important than ever.
I thank the experts from around the world representing SAGE for lending their expertise, and @WHO looks forward to receiving and reviewing SAGE's latest policy recommendations this week.

Terrible news from Peru where a coup a la Fujimori is being announced.
This is unacceptable: Peruvians and the international community can't tolerate a return to a dictatorship.
Still not quite ready for a cruise
800 passengers on the Majestic Princess have COVID. You can’t pack 4600 passengers on a boat during a pandemic and expect this not to happen. Yes, it’s still the pandemic. theguardian.com/australia-ne…
Hotel walls and ceilings just not assuredly impermeable according to this publication I edited for the EID journal.

The @WHO Clinical Management & IPC guidance for #Monkeypox is full of great information
Particularly this decision making algorithm that can be used at any care-point (screening, triage, clinical assessment, or testing)
It can be found at who.int/publications/i/item/…
Some monkeypox vaccine comments. Le Monde, new one for me. It was an email interview in English.
