JYNNEOS is a two-dose vaccine that can help prevent monkeypox or make it less severe. If you already received your first dose of JYNNEOS, remember to get the second dose 28 days after your first dose. If you can’t get your second dose on time, get it as soon as you can.

“A new MMWR finds mRNA COVID-19 vaccines offer protection to help prevent hospitalization from COVID-19 among veterans of all age groups at VA medical centers, including during the Delta variant’s rapid spread. Everyone 12 years and older should get a COVID-19 vaccine for protection against severe illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19.”

“We found consistent and compelling evidence across six studies involving more than a half million participants that meeting the recommended guidelines for physical activity – 30 minutes of activity, five days a week – reduces the risk of falling ill and dying of infectious diseases by 37%.

This adds to the results of another new study conducted in the United States specifically on COVID-19. The effect is at least as strong if not more so than the effect reported for other risk factors of COVID-19 such as age or having a pre-existing condition such as diabetes.

We also found reliable evidence that regular physical activity strengthens the human immune system. Across 35 independent randomised controlled trials – the gold standard for scientific evidence – regular physical activity resulted in elevated levels of the antibody immunoglobulin IgA. This antibody coats the mucosal membrane of our lungs and other parts of our body where viruses and bacteria can enter.

Regular physical activity also increases the number of CD4+ T cells, which are responsible for alerting the immune system of an attack and regulate its response.

Finally, in the randomised controlled trials we studied, vaccines appear more effective if they are administered after a programme of physical activity. A person who is active is 50% more likely to have a higher antibody count after the vaccine than somebody who is not active.”

And 30 minutes of activity 5 days a week decreases the risk of severe illness from infectious diseases by 37%.
