Norovirus is common, highly infectious, can cause serious and unpleasant illness, closes hospital wards especially over winter and is a risk to care homes.
A norovirus vaccine, if effective, would be a major step forward. Thank you to those taking part in and running this trial
An innovative #norovirus vaccine #ClinicalTrial will open across the UK over the next 2 weeks. Despite being one of the most common and infectious causes of diarrhoea & vomiting, there aren't yet any licensed vaccines anywhere in the world 💉

How would you feel if you needed antibiotics but they didn’t work?
That's what happened to Vanessa Carter. She survived a serious car accident and required a 10-year facial reconstruction, only for it to be threatened by #AntimicrobialResistance.
Vanessa & other #AMRsurvivors share their story ⬇️

🔊 The sound no parent wants to hear.
While the 'whoop' is very distinctive, some babies and adults don't make the classic sound. Find out about the other symptoms of #WhoopingCough and how to protect your child:

How clean are your hands?
Not all germs are killed with hand sanitiser.
Clean thoroughly with soap and water for 20 seconds to stop infections from spreading.
