Reliable vaccinations play a pivotal role in preventing infections that can lead to sepsis, reducing the overall burden of the condition. By fostering herd immunity and protecting vulnerable populations, vaccinations contribute to a safer and healthier world. ...
Tim Nguyen, manager of the WHO’s Health Emergency Program and information Network for Epidemics likens the solution to developing herd immunity to fake news and estimated that 30 percent of the population needs to become a champion for “good information” in order “to reach populations so that they are inoculated and not susceptible to fake news or ...
Researchers can identify candidate genes associated with economic phenotypes through microarrays optimized for specificity to aid in herd management and provide effective decision-making. ...
These campaigns are important tools to increase the number of vaccinated individuals and work towards population, or herd, immunity. However, the most critical method of all is making sure that vaccines are stored correctly through every step in the cold chain. ...
National Doctor’s Day is celebrated every year on March 30th. The first Doctor’s Day observance was March 30th, 1933, in Winder, Georgia. This first observance included mailed greeting cards and flowers placed on the graves of deceased physicians. In 1990, legislation was passed to establish a national Doctor’s Day.

The first vaccine, created by Edward Jenner, was used to fight against cowpox in 1796 in England. Though rarely seen today, cowpox, a viral infection, was contracted often by milkmaids before the late 1700s. When someone touched the udder of a cow that was infected, they could contract cowpox.

While cases in the United States are still doubling their daily totals, many people worldwide are experiencing pandemic fatigue. Just before the end of 2020, companies like Moderna and Pfizer, with help from many C & A Scientific customers, were able to provide a solution ...
Explore how B Medical Systems can ensure safe storage of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. The term “herd immunity” has been commonly used since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic to describe a phenomenon in which a large portion of a community (the herd) becomes immune to a disease, making the spread of disease from person to person unlikely. ...
In the Dairy Industry, we deal with high-risk groups every day–cows that have just calved and newborn calves less than 75 days of age. Herd immunity threshold (percent of animals that are immune) varies by the disease, but it usually means that 80 to 95 percent of the herd has antibody immunity to the virus or bacteria. ...
B Medical Systems strongly believes in ensuring herd immunity and therefore supports an equitable vaccine distribution to unleash its power. ...
CWD (Chronic Wasting disease) is spreading in the United States. It is an infectious disease affecting deer and elk, leaving them ‘zombie like’, according to experts. CWD has already spread to 24 US states as of August 2019. The disease has been seen to affect animals such as reindeer, moose, elk and various deer species. It has been found in free-ranging deer and elk as well as ...
Probably little MBM feeding or amplification of BSE agent occurred within Italian herds after 1996. BSE cases have declined since 2001. In 2007, the European Commission recognised Italy as a controlled BSE risk country. ...
Several national and European Union legislative measures were adopted by veterinary officials to reduce external and internal risk factors which limited the spread of the BSE within national herds. To date, the national control programs against BSE in cattle have been successful. The herd incidence of BSE is either at a low level or in decline. All four countries ...
