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 would rather just use basic hygiene, be sensible and be clean."
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. |
