Influenza season is kicking off in the Northern Hemisphere!

Your body can take up to two weeks to develop antibodies from the vaccine, so now’s the perfect time to protect yourself.

Get your seasonal influenza (flu) vaccine so your immune system is ready to go!

Infographic titled “Climate inaction is impacting human health.” It shows four key impacts, each in its own box: Rising heat-related deaths: “Heat-related deaths have risen by 23% since the 1990s.” Drought & heatwaves: “In 2023, 124 million more people faced moderate or severe food insecurity.” Economic strain: “In 2024, extreme heat caused workers to lose 640 billion hours of work.” Overreliance on fossil fuels: “15 countries spent more on fossil fuel subsidies than on their entire health budgets.” At the bottom, bold white text reads “Demand climate action now”. The background shows a person walking across cracked, dry ground in orange and grey tones.

Shingles, or herpes zoster, is a viral infection that causes a painful rash.
It is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox.

After a person recovers from chickenpox, the virus remains inactive in the body.
#Shingles occurs when the virus reactivates later in life http://bit.ly/3W9QexQ

Between 2018–2023, antibiotic resistance increased in over 40% of the pathogen–antibiotic combinations monitored, with an average annual rise of 5–15%.

Resistance is highest in the WHO South-East Asian & Eastern Mediterranean Regions, where 1 in 3 reported infections were resistant 👉 bit.ly/438Ta1u
Text reads “Antibiotic resistance is rising,” with an upward arrow and a “40%” warning icon. Below, a text box says: “Between 2018 and 2023, resistance increased in over 40% of the monitored pathogen–antibiotic combinations, with an annual rise of 5–15%.”

Antibiotic resistance is more common and worsening in places where health systems are fragile or have limited capacity to diagnose or treat bacterial infections.

Investing in diagnostics and equitable access to quality antibiotics is essential. Learn more 👉 bit.ly/438Ta1u
