couple, us we him her.

They are close to introducing a winter vaccination to combat the dreaded norovirus after a two year study and testing.

This bug I absolutely awful it's puke and shit central, although I'd prefer it if they pushed hygiene better.

Would you take the jab given the opportunity?

What I would say to those who prefer to build up natural immunity/tough it out, unless you have actually had norovirus don't say never coz it's awful, potentially fatal and very highly contagious.

Just checked to confirm that Norovirus is an enveloped RNA based virus, this means it will probably be a seasonal vaccine.

Unlike vaccinations for DNA based viruses, it'll need 1-2 per year, 2-4 if you travel perhaps.

No, I'm not an expert but you can call me Dr. Armchair, as I find that quite comfortable.

Given that norovirus spreads via faecal-oral transmission, the simplest, cheapest and quickest way to reduce its spread to WASH YOUR FUCKING HANDS. With soap and hot water. Not alcohol gel. EVERY time you have been to the lavatory. EVERY time before and after you touch a patient if you are a health care professional.

After evreything John Snow and Bazelgette et al did to rid London and then the wider world of the Great Stench and cholera. How is it that too many stupid people still use their phone on the toilet and never wash their shitty hands afterwards.

Stupidity is just as contagious a nasty, nasty virus.

Yes, I would take the vaccines, for for Norovirus and one for stupidity.

It's tragic that we've come from such a core that wasn't too long, where so much illness prevailed and could be fairly simply prevented. But ignorance prevails now, with people untouched by the dire conditions then . And too few people learned enough from our pandemic and have sustained good hygiene habits

I have had it twice. Once I just got my backside over the pan, as my ass erupted I puked violently covering the toilet door. Both ends at the same time. It's horrific.

It's one of the most common foodborn infections, we can consume it via food, drinking or breathing it in. Certainly, many of the good practices from the pandemic will help to reduce infection potential

Probably like any other Illness with a vaccine. Some elderly and more susceptible would benefit from it if going into hospital. For the rest nature. Everything has consequences. For me now. No I wouldn't take it. But maybe in 5 or 10 years I'd think about it.

I'm just recovering from norovirus.

If I'm offered the vaccine I'll take it.

You can catch it more than once, immunity lasts *up to* 6 months and wanes as those months progress. It's absolutely awful, I cannot stress that enough.

Do you know How long does the immunity last from the vaccine?

It varies depending on previous exposure, age etc. It sounds like it would be a yearly thing

It works by recognising the virus and teaching your body to respond.

I'd have it if it was six months though because it's mainly a winter thing.

If you are particularly concerned that there is something new going around, don’t.

If you’ve ever had “gastric flu” it was most likely norovirus, AKA gastroenteritis though other bugs like rotavirus are included under this term. In the States, the most common diarrhoea bug is norovirus.

Norovirus requires ingestion, washing your hands with soap and water is very effective.

Why are we not tearing a strip off the water companies who are dumping shit in to our water supply?

We may want to be boiling our tap water before drinking.

I would definitely recommend the vaccine to anyone who prefers to not wash their hands after they’ve been to the loo.

Having some electrolyte sachets around would be good practice in case good hygiene doesn’t cut it.

Unfortunately, the longer our immune systems have been relied on, the older we are. And with age, comes the immune systems declining in performance level. The past may be very different to our present and future.

Age develops immune memory as more germs become familiar to identify, isolate and destroy. T-type and C-type cells.

The factor which sees this decline is not age, it is your general health.

As long as you are healthy, age is an advantage when fighting disease.

It's very interesting and your thoughts suggest support for those millionaires and others who are seeking very extended lives.

Immunosenescence is a fairly well recognised process, contributed to by several underlying mechanisms. I'm unsure that they're all indicative of people with poorer health, though maturity does provide opportunities for multiple issues to develop. Viral infections that the immune system fight off, whilst helping to improve the repertoire of immune responses, can also cause senescence.

You also have age-dependent increases in myeloid-derived suppressor cells which can inhibit T cell function. You could thus have cancer and other diseases that you've a reducing ability to fight off.

"

When you say age related. Age is a predictor of probability, your general health is the factor.

MDSC’s are a major factor in cancer survival, many cancers can also spike your MDSC levels. Good outcomes are rare in these cases. We are beginning to discover some excellent MDSC suppressors which may change cancer treatments dramatically, a healthy immune system is despatching cancerous cells all of the time, as they appear.

It’s amazing to think that these mechanisms have been understood for such a short time.
