COVID Pandemic: Vaccinations, and Herd Immunity


The world is, today, in the midst of crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As healthcare authorities are working on tracking the pandemic and advising on critical interventions, they are also racing to find a vaccine.

Vaccines are looked up to as a ray of hope during this COVID-19 pandemic. It is expected to save millions of lives. Vaccines would work by training and preparing your immune system and improving the body’s natural defenses. It would help your body recognize, attack, and fight the viruses and protect you against COVID-19 as well as its complications. 

While there have been encouraging movements in the development of vaccines, there might still be time until they can be put into clinical practice. Once vaccines are developed, we will be able to curb the rising rate of morbidity and mortality associated with COVID-19. 

If you want to learn more about the development of vaccines for COVID-19, you can join our webinar ‘COVID19 PANDEMIC BY EXPERTS IN THE FIELD’. It is focused on providing information about the latest development in COVID-19 including the treatment and prevention with the help of vaccination and herd immunity. 

Our nursing webinars, Delaware, are being conducted by ATECAM LLC, an approved provider of the NCPD by the State Nurses Association Approver Unit in Pennsylvania. Our contact hours are good even for nurses outside of Pennsylvania. 

Immunizations against diseases such as diphtheria, tetanus, influenza, pertussis, and measles are currently estimated to prevent 2 to 3 million deaths every year. Today, we have vaccines to prevent more than twenty life-threatening diseases. Work is ongoing at an unprecedented speed to make COVID-19 also a vaccine-preventable disease. 

Currently, there are more than a hundred COVID-19 vaccine candidates under development, and a few of them are in the human trial phase. When a safe and effective vaccine candidate is developed, facilities for its equitable distribution and access would have to be enabled to protect people across the world. 

People with a higher risk will have to be prioritized. 

The development of vaccines and herd immunity is expected to help limit the spread of COVID-19 and reduce the mortality rates linked to it. It would also reduce the strain on healthcare workers including physicians and nurses to a great extent. 

You can join the ‘COVID19 PANDEMIC BY EXPERTS IN THE FIELD WEBINAR’ on 4th November between 3 pm to 8 pm to learn more about the latest developments in vaccinations for COVID-19. 

We will also discuss the evolution and epidemiology of the COVID pandemic and how this infection can create havoc in the patient's body by causing brain damage and other complications. 

You will get an opportunity to interact with and ask questions to our panel of expert physicians. Join the Nursing Webinars 2020 to keep yourself updated about COVID-19 and improve your expertise in the management of this infection.

Antibiotics are not effective against viral infections like COVID-19 and researchers are already testing a variety of treatments. The FDA had granted the emergency use authorization for antiviral drugs like remdesivir to treat patients with COVID-19. Healthcare authorities have also recommended treatment with the corticosteroid dexamethasone for patients with severe COVID-19 who require mechanical ventilation or supplemental oxygen. The FDA has also granted the emergency use authorization for the convalescent plasma therapy for the management of this infection. Convalescent plasma refers to the blood donated by patients who have recovered from COVID

Improving Healthcare With Automated IV Pumps

  When it comes to the administration of fluids to patients, the 2 most commonly used methods include manual infusion or through electric IV pumps. Infusion pumps Infusion pumps have been considered the most preferred way for several decades for delivering fluids like nutrients and medications to patients in controlled doses. The use of both infusion pumps, as well as the electric IV pumps, helps physicians and nurses ensure that the patients receive the correct amounts of fluids. However, performing a manual IV infusion involves a lot of work. Nurses have to accurately judge the right amount they are administering and also monitor the setup periodically to ensure the system is performing efficiently and safely to avoid complications like clotting or blockages. Manual IV infusion This is why, most nurses now choose to use electric IV pumps, also called Automated IV Pumps. Automated IV Pumps are designed to help nurses ensure the right amount of IV fluids are administered th
