This year, outbreaks of poliomyelitis have been occurring in various countries (USA and Israel for instance) highlighting a potential come back of poliomyelitis. In the United Kingdom even though no poliomyelitis cases were observed, circulation of vaccine-derived poliovirus in London has been confirmed by the detection of polioviruses in sewage
After being approached by numerous individuals about contributing to the project, we are now sharing our Just Giving page to allow A Germs Journey to continue it invaluable work in the area of health-hygiene education and reach even more countries.
The Germ's Journey team are excited to announce the development of a brand new book that has been specifically created for older people living with dementia to use alongside young children. Co-created alongside those living with dementia, nurses and researchers in the field, the aim of the book is to increase awareness of respiratory disease and improve infection prevention practices amongst both children and adults.
So far, over 1,500 books have been donated nationwide to care providers, local councils and governments to distribute to those living with dementia.
You can add to our current research findings by filling out a short questionnaire. We really value your honest feedback.
