It’s the start of flu season – time to protect yourself and your family by getting vaccinated! In today’s #FDA #SUNDAYTWEETORIAL I’m going to talk about #FDA’s role in ensuring the safety, effectiveness, and availability of the 2019 influenza vaccines. #VaccinesWork #FightFlu 
I know there are questions about the effectiveness and benefits of the flu vaccine given the severity of last year’s flu season, so I want to update you on what we’ve learned, the effectiveness of this year’s vaccine and why vaccination is important go.usa.gov/xPWhS.
We've made important modifications to this year's #Flu vaccine to improve its effectiveness; changing two of the strains (for the H3N2 and Influenza B components) to better reflect the influenza strains that we believe are most likely to circulate this winter. More on this later.
As kids are heading back to school, for this #FDA #SUNDAYTWEETORIAL I’m going to talk about MEASLES and the vital importance of vaccination. You may’ve seen recent news stories reporting cases of measles in parts of the US and EU. Most cases have occurred in unvaccinated people
In 2018 there have been 124 individual cases of measles in 22 states and D.C. Measles can spread when it reaches a community where there are groups of unvaccinated people. And travelers with measles continue to bring the disease into the United States go.usa.gov/xUzwa
Measles is caused by the rubeola virus and is highly contagious. It is normally passed through direct contact or through the air. The virus infects the respiratory tract, then spreads throughout the body, causing a skin rash, fever, cough and runny nose.

I’ve asked several #antivaxxers for 1 peer-reviewed research study that supports their claim that vaccines cause autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Most never respond but some @ me a list of "studies" they claim make this link. For fun I started to read…

En 1947 la compañía RP Scherer Corp. de Detroit diseñó y puso en el mercado un instrumento llamado "hypospray" que se utilizaba para vacunaciones masivas sin el uso de agujas y sin la necesidad de las esterilizaciones repetidas #HistoriaMedicina #vaccineswork
Con la manivela se cargaba un pistón interno y luego pulsando el botón trasero negro se "disparaba" la vacuna o el medicamento. El cargador era de 55 dosis y podía inyectar 1200 en una hora
En su lanzamiento en 1947 salió a la venta por 2000$ (precio altísimo) y pocos médicos la adquirieron, con lo que su principal uso era en la Armada. Se le llamó "la pistola de la paz"
