Vietnam will export two million vaccine doses against African swine fever to the Philippines by October, the government said on Wednesday, one week after it approved domestic use of the world’s first commercial vaccines against the disease.
African swine fever has for years disrupted the $250 billion global pork market. In the worst outbreak in 2018-19, about half the domestic pig population died in China, the world’s biggest producer, causing losses estimated at over $100 billion.

To efficiently stop the spread of mpox, public health officials need to strike a delicate balance between destigmatizing the disease by dispelling the idea that it affects only gay men and prioritizing the MSM communities that are most vulnerable to it.

Fatal cardiac arrests among young Americans are still at normal levels despite claims that Covid vaccines are driving a spike in cases.
Elon Musk became the latest high-profile celebrity to fuel the idea the shots are triggering heart problems this week when he weighed into news that LeBron James’ 18-year-old son suffered a cardiac arrest while playing basketball, an extremely rare event for people in his age group and physical condition.
Musk wrote on his ‘X’ social media platform: ‘We
This week EURACTIV’s health reporter Marta Iraola talks to Emilie Karafillakis, the European research lead at the Vaccine Confidence Project at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, about vaccine confidence in Europe, about why people lack trust in vaccination and why public health campaigns are important.

An experimental breast cancer vaccine showing promise in early trials is raising the prospect of eliminating one of the world’s biggest killers.
So far, 15 women with an aggressive form of breast cancer have received the shot and have been in remission for up to five years — despite being at high risk of relapse.
Among them is mother-of-two Jennifer Davis, a 46-year-old nurse from Lisbon, Ohio, who underwent dozens of brutal rounds of chemo, radiotherapy and a double mastectomy
Jamie Foxx’s representative has denied a bizarre online conspiracy claim that the COVID-19 vaccination caused the actor’s mystery hospitalization.
Jamie, who was born Eric Bishop, was filming the action-comedy Back In Action with Cameron Diaz in Atlanta, Georgia, in April when he was admitted to hospital.
The actor, 55, has been treated at a facility in Chicago, which specializes in treatment for adults with ‘severe complex conditions’, including stroke recovery – although it has not been revealed what condition Foxx
