Ziqitza Rajasthan 108 Ambulance Driver says “The science and research behind Covid vaccine may save my life that’s because I’m about to get my COVID-19 vaccine. I have the fortune of becoming an early recipient, but only because I belong to a vulnerable group being a frontline worker helping save lives in Pandemic”. Ziqitza also urged governments across India to speed up the rollout of the vaccine, especially to those most likely to experience severe illness, such as seniors, Indigenous people and radicalized people – all of whom have been shown to be most at risk of infection.

Vaccine public engagement toolkit version 1
This toolkit is a resource for elected members and community leaders to use in answering questions from residents on covid19 vaccines
Maximising the impact of a COVID-19 vaccine in an ageing world
ILC held a webinar where we heard from experts at Pfizer, GSK, Sanofi and MSD on how we maximise uptake of the COVID-19 vaccination among older people, and heed the lessons from the pandemic for other adult vaccinations.
The scientists have done their job and the UK has started to vaccinate older people against COVID-19.
But in our ageing world, how do we democratise access to the vaccine whilst also ensuring uptake is as high as possible?
While childhood immunisation programmes are common and well delivered across the world, the situation for adult immunisation is very different.
The levels of uptake of existing adult vaccinations against influenza, pneumococcal disease and herpes zoster remain low across most of the world. We’ve had an age-related flu vaccination programme in the UK for twenty years but we still fail to meet the WHO target of 75% uptake among older people, and uptake rates are even worse for clinical “at risk” groups.
The UK does better than many countries and is arguably a world leader in terms of its approach to the vaccination of older people. But how can we build on this expertise to support uptake of adult vaccinations across the world?
With an overwhelmed NHS, and many “at risk” groups and older people shielding or reluctant to get out of the home, it may be even harder to reach those most in need.
This ILC webinar presented a unique opportunity to hear from medical experts in the pharmaceutical industry about how we heed the lessons of what works, based on our experience of delivering other adult vaccinations, and how the lessons from COVID-19 can help drive uptake of other vaccinations targeted at older people.

Covid 19 - stuff I learned today
This document provides information on COVID-19, including:
- New Zealand's strategy of eliminating COVID-19 transmission by keeping it out, finding cases, and stamping it out through border controls, contact tracing, isolation and testing. However, an outbreak of the highly transmissible Delta variant is still likely this year.
- Vaccination is encouraged as it may prevent death from the Delta variant. Vaccines are free for New Zealanders aged 16 and over.
- Obesity rates are linked to higher COVID-19 deaths, and about a third of New Zealand adults are obese, disproportionately affecting Māori and Pacific people. An outbreak of the Delta variant could hit New Zealand hard.

Vaccine Hesitancy by Professor Dr. Renu Bedi
The document discusses vaccine hesitancy, which is delay or refusal of vaccination despite availability. It defines vaccine hesitancy according to the WHO as being influenced by complacency, convenience and confidence. Countries are seeing measles resurgences due to factors like complacency, collapsed health systems and spread of misinformation. India has also seen some vaccine hesitancy in the past for vaccines like polio, MMR and now concerns exist around COVID-19 vaccines regarding safety, efficacy and religious views. Addressing drivers of hesitancy like knowledge and attitudes is important for improving vaccination rates.
Risk management covid19_raznisyafiq
Malaysia is currently facing a rise in COVID-19 cases, with 23 new cases reported on July 25th. Two new clusters have been identified at a religious center in Johor and a construction company in Sarawak. Sarawak in particular is experiencing a second wave of cases. The Malaysian government has implemented the PKPP phase with less restrictive SOPs and reopened certain businesses. Comprehensive SOPs have been established to prevent spread while allowing some normalization. Testing has been increased but some argue it needs to be more widespread. The Health Ministry has received recognition for its successful management of the pandemic through leadership and coordinated response efforts.

Vaccine hesitancy seminar primary care february 2021 v2Professor Jim McManus AFBPsS,FFPH,CSci, FRSB, CPsychol
Jim McManus is the Director of Public Health for Hertfordshire. The document discusses strategies to address vaccine hesitancy for the COVID-19 vaccine. It defines vaccine hesitancy and outlines approaches for building confidence in the vaccine, including providing accurate information, acknowledging concerns, and promoting peer influence and role models. Barriers to vaccine uptake are addressed at both the organizational and individual level.Universal Health Coverage
This document discusses concerns about universal healthcare and whether the dominant medical model achieves health or just disease management. It questions if the model is scientifically and financially viable given rising disease burdens and medical errors being a leading cause of death. Alternative approaches that integrate Ayurveda and focus on prevention over cure are suggested but seen as unacceptable to the medical community. The document argues civil society must pursue justice and ensure healthcare reforms the system to truly achieve health.

The document also examines risk management strategies in Malaysia including its two-phase movement control order and restrictions on gatherings.
Covid 19 risk mitigation
Community mitigation strategies such as social distancing, quarantining high-risk individuals, and limiting large gatherings are recommended to slow the spread of COVID-19. The document discusses how respiratory droplets from coughs and sneezes can spread the virus and lead to superspreader events. It also notes the importance of risk factors like age, preexisting conditions, and living conditions in determining outcomes. Caution is urged as restrictions are lifted to avoid a potential second wave or peak in cases.
FOGSI POSITION STATEMENT COVID VACCINATION FOR PREGNANT & BREASTFEEDING WOMEN
This document discusses recommendations and guidelines regarding COVID-19 vaccination for pregnant and breastfeeding women. It provides information on the current COVID-19 situation globally and in India, the different types of COVID vaccines available in India, benefits of vaccination for the general population and pregnant women, safety of the vaccines for pregnant women, and international recommendations that vaccination should be offered to pregnant women similar to non-pregnant individuals based on risk-benefit analysis. The document concludes by stating current recommendations in India do not support vaccination of pregnant or breastfeeding women due to lack of safety data, but international organizations support vaccination for pregnant women.
Course covid-19 vaccines
Vaccines are needed for COVID-19 because it is the first time the global population has been exposed to the virus, so immune systems are not prepared. Developing vaccines is an effective strategy to control the pandemic. Vaccination uses the body's immune system to build resistance to infections before exposure and is a simple, safe, and effective way of protecting people. A massive global vaccination campaign is essential to stop the spread of the virus and prevent illness.
Indians can defeat coronavirus covid 19
Indians can defeat the coronavirus based on their ancestors' history of overcoming past pandemics. The document discusses India's history with plagues and epidemics over the past 400 years, noting that ancestors fought bravely each time. It emphasizes that as descendants, Indians must show the same courage and strength against COVID-19. Citizens have an important role through cooperation - by following safety measures and restrictions. Maintaining social distance, isolation, handwashing, and other precautions are key to preventing the virus's spread until a cure is found.
How corona changed the world for ever
The coronavirus pandemic has changed life in many ways that may be permanent. It has caused societies to adapt to restrictions like social distancing, mask wearing, and virtual work and school. It has also taken a mental toll through increased anxiety, depression, and isolation. The pandemic has introduced many new words and practices around hygiene. Vaccines now offer hope for controlling the virus, but uncertainties remain around their long term effects and when societies will fully reopen.

Impact on Healthcare Professionals
The 2019 coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is an ever-evolving challenge for
healthcare professionals around the world. However, many developing
countries are not aware of this problem. The aim of this study is to explore the
challenges faced by healthcare professionals (doctors and nurses) during
COVID-19 in India.
A worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 was reported on March 11, 2020 Although
isolation is the best way to prevent the spread of the disease, it is not easy to
access for physicians who require direct contact with COVID-19 patients.
Frontline healthcare professionals are particularly vulnerable during this
epidemic as they work to control the disease As of October 15, 2020, there
were approximately 4,797 covid-19 cases between doctors and nurses,
resulting in more than 100 medical deaths in India
In addition to physical risks, this public health affects the mindset of health
workers in emergencies

COVID-19 is a respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that emerged in Wuhan, China in late 2019. Symptoms include fever, dry cough, and shortness of breath. The incubation period is up to 14 days. The virus spread rapidly globally within 3 months, infecting over 29 million people worldwide by April 2020. On March 11, 2020, the WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic due to its worldwide spread and severe health impacts, especially on the elderly and those with preexisting conditions. The pandemic has caused major economic impacts including a projected 4% contraction of global GDP in 2020 and the loss of 225 million full-time jobs.

to its benefits, purchasing drugs outside of the traditional supply chain
carries a number of patient safety risks. Although there are thousands of

Impact on Healthcare Professionals
The 2019 coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is an ever-evolving challenge for
healthcare professionals around the world. However, many developing
countries are not aware of this problem. The aim of this study is to explore the
challenges faced by healthcare professionals (doctors and nurses) during
COVID-19 in India.
A worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 was reported on March 11, 2020 Although
isolation is the best way to prevent the spread of the disease, it is not easy to
access for physicians who require direct contact with COVID-19 patients.
Frontline healthcare professionals are particularly vulnerable during this
epidemic as they work to control the disease As of October 15, 2020, there
were approximately 4,797 covid-19 cases between doctors and nurses,
resulting in more than 100 medical deaths in India
In addition to physical risks, this public health affects the mindset of health
workers in emergencies

COVID-19 is a respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that emerged in Wuhan, China in late 2019. Symptoms include fever, dry cough, and shortness of breath. The incubation period is up to 14 days. The virus spread rapidly globally within 3 months, infecting over 29 million people worldwide by April 2020. On March 11, 2020, the WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic due to its worldwide spread and severe health impacts, especially on the elderly and those with preexisting conditions. The pandemic has caused major economic impacts including a projected 4% contraction of global GDP in 2020 and the loss of 225 million full-time jobs.

- Scientists in South Africa identified a new COVID-19 variant called Omicron which has been designated a variant of concern by the WHO.
- Early identification of Omicron is due to South Africa's genomic surveillance capabilities which have helped monitor the virus.
- Some key things known about Omicron so far include that it has many more mutations than prior variants, current tests can detect it, and it is spreading rapidly in South Africa. However, more data is still needed on transmission risk, reinfection risk, severity of disease, and vaccine effectiveness.
- COVID cases in South Africa have risen sharply recently, likely signaling the start of a fourth wave, and daily case numbers have more than tripled in the

2020 09 01 Vaccination
This document provides a summary of key trends related to vaccination. It discusses how vaccine hesitancy has increased around the world in recent decades, potentially undermining public health efforts to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Employers have an important role to play in encouraging vaccination and responsible behavior during pandemics in order to protect public health and enable businesses and the economy to return to normal. However, the spread of misinformation about health issues and vaccines has undermined trust and compliance with public health recommendations. As research on a COVID-19 vaccine continues, effectively countering misinformation will be important for building confidence in any potential vaccine.

This document discusses the importance of implementing COVID-19 vaccination for pregnant and lactating women. It recommends that pregnant individuals receive the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines. Due to waning immunity, it also recommends that pregnant women receive a Pfizer booster dose at least six months after their initial two doses. Counseling with medical providers is advised to discuss safety and efficacy. While theoretical concerns exist, the benefits of vaccination for lactating individuals outweigh the risks. Pregnant women can receive vaccination at any point during pregnancy, though the second trimester may be safest.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.A Classical Text Review on Basavarajeeyam

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Ziqitza healthcare ltd trust in science is the only way to battle against covid-19
- 1. Ziqitza Healthcare Ltd - Trust in Science is the only way to battle against Covid-19
- 2. The year 2020 was unquestionably momentous and tragic. Climate crisis, natural disasters, political upheavals and human rights abuses confronted humanity with unprecedented challenges but nothing impacted the world like the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic did. We began 2021 with the pandemic still ravaging populations around the globe. In the middle of the catastrophe, with the importance of testing finally acknowledged and vaccines becoming available in many countries, there is hope that the disease may be brought under control. Researchers are still struggling to fit and to understand the coronavirus, but that's how science works.
- 3. Now COVID-free future is within our reach – a future where it’s safe to hug again and where our smiles no longer need to be hidden behind a mask. To get there, we will need a robust vaccination drive. We will need Indians to roll up their sleeves and get vaccinated but we will also need to be patient. Immunizing the country won’t happen overnight. It will be an incremental process informed by science and one that seeks to immediately stem the loss of life. Convincing people to take the vaccine is an immediate concern—it’s key to ending the pandemic. Earlier this month, the Government encouraged all health care workers, all essential workers, and the general public to receive the vaccine when they become eligible. In India we started its vaccination programme on January 16, 2021, with this India is at the fourth spot in the list of countries with a maximum number of COVID-19 does administered.
- 4. There were multiple reports on vaccine-related hesitancy among health workers. Where many healthcare workers have either failed to turn up or refused to get vaccinated in the first week of the pan-India drive.
- 5. Ziqitza Rajasthan 108 Ambulance Driver says “The science and research behind Covid vaccine may save my life that’s because I’m about to get my COVID-19 vaccine. I have the fortune of becoming an early recipient, but only because I belong to a vulnerable group being a frontline worker helping save lives in Pandemic”.
- 6. Ziqitza also urged governments across India to speed up the rollout of the vaccine, especially to those most likely to experience severe illness, such as seniors, Indigenous people and radicalized people – all of whom have been shown to be most at risk of infection. Apart from this what’s also been lacking in vaccine delivery program is evidence-based information. Within this vacuum, misinformation, vaccine myths, and mistrust have thrived. Sadly, many people are hesitant to get vaccinated, particularly among marginalized communities who, we recognize, have all too often experienced negative interactions with the medical community.
- 7. We at Ziqitza Healthcare ltd encourage all to receive the vaccine as soon as they are available. Our frontline healthcare warriors across India have served the people in need irrespective of thinking about their lives and safety. They truly deserve to get vaccinated first as they still have a long way to go and help people suffering from COVID - 19.
- 8. Together, we all can contain this virus, end the pandemic, and participate in India’s post-pandemic recovery. We believe that any risk posed by the vaccine is far outweighed by the benefits of being protected from COVID-19. As with any other medical treatment, informed consent is required. Everyone who gets the vaccine must understand the benefits of immunization, as well as any potential risks. All should be empowered to make an informed decision. We also know that historically, immunization programs have saved countless lives worldwide. The COVID-19 vaccines approved thus far have the potential to provide much-needed protection against the continued spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but this will only happen if sufficient numbers choose to be vaccinated.
