      MAJOR rise in all STIs esp #gonorrhoea in @UKHSA report. Whilst more Sexual Heath Service funding is critical, rise in testing rates suggests it's not only about access? E.g. do pros of #doxycycline PEP now outweigh potential cons, at least in short term?! https://t.co/DjMOR0Cq0y https://t.co/Hva2qYgNJd

      Screening of poultry farm workers in the UK detects two asymptomatic cases of bird flu (H5N1). This is an interesting, but far from unprecedented observation. The majority of bird flu cases in humans are likely a/pauci-symptomatic. 1/ https://t.co/eiAtXSeCzg

      .@UKHSA urges Britons who haven't yet received a 1st and/or 2nd dose of #Covid vaccine to do so before the offer of 1st & 2nd doses ends June 30. What happens after that if someone wants to be vaccinated? Will they have to pay out of pocket? https://t.co/AzOf2rL4My
