NVIC Educates One Million on New Year's Eve

in NYC's Times Square

...

A

vaccine education message sponsored by NVIC will be shown during the

New Year's Eve celebration in Times Square on the 5,000 square-foot TSQ

Digital screen at 47th St. and 7th Ave. in New York City. The 15-second

ad, which encourages informed decision-making, has been shown on the

megatron twice an hour for 21 hours a day since Dec. 16, 2011.

" In 2012, NVIC will mark our

30th year of public education and consumer empowerment, " said

NVIC co-founder and president Barbara Loe Fisher. " With so many

health care options available today, becoming an educated health care

consumer is essential and our pro-informed consent message will be seen

by millions on New Year's Eve. "

Heart of Broadway - Worldwide Media Coverage

The full-color LED screen on which NVIC's ad is appearing is located near

the Times Square Information Center in the heart of the Broadway district

and is one of the largest digital display screens in the Times Square

area. An estimated one million people pack the Times Square area during

New Year's Eve and the celebration is viewed on television by billions of

people around the world... To read more and to post a comment,

Sun's X-Rays Could Prevent Chickenpox - Ultraviolet rays could

help prevent the spread of chickenpox, new research has shown. The

discovery, which suggests people in milder climates are more at risk of

catching the disease, is hoped to lead to new ways of preventing

chickenpox and its more severe relative, shingles. Dr. Phil Rice,

virologist at St. 's, University of London, found chickenpox is

much less common in places with high UV ray levels. UV light is known to

inactivate some viruses, and Dr. Rice believes his findings show UV rays

could inactivate the varicella-zoster virus - responsible for chickenpox

and shingles - on the skin before it transmits to another person. His

discovery explains why there is less transmission in the tropics, where

chickenpox is much less frequent than in temperate countries. " -

If You Go to Church, Heed This Warning - " Recently the White

House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, held an

invitation-only call. The call was co-sponsored by the U.S. Health and

Human Services, the Office of Minority Health, and CDC. Conspicuously,

the end of the invitation read: " This call is off the record and is

not for press purposes " -- but it became public when it showed up on

the

HHS website.

" The focus of the call was on getting faith-based organizations to

sponsor flu clinics with Walgreens. Basically, they want to move inside

your church, mosque or synagogue, and set up shop, with your pastor,

priest, imam and rabbi on hand to convince you to get a flu shot. As an

example, they cited a priest who stopped in the middle of mass to roll up

his sleeve and get vaccinated, inspiring the rest of his parish to line

up behind him. " - Dr. ph Mercola.

China Prepares for Big Entry Into Vaccine Market - " The world

should get ready for a new " Made in China " product - vaccines.

China's vaccine makers are gearing up over the next few years to push

exports in a move that should lower costs of lifesaving immunizations for

the world's poor and provide major new competition for the big Western

pharmaceutical companies. However, it may take some time before some

parts of the world are ready to embrace Chinese products when safety is

as sensitive an issue as it is with vaccines - especially given the food,

drug and other scandals the country has seen... Last year, a Chinese

newspaper report linked improperly stored vaccines to four children's

deaths in northern Shanxi province, raising nationwide concern. The

Health Ministry said the vaccines did not cause the deaths, but some

remained skeptical... Worldwide, vaccine sales last year grew 14 percent

to $25.3 billion, according to healthcare market research firm Kalorama

Information, as drugmakers which face intensifying competition from

generic drugs now see vaccines as key areas of growth, particularly in

Latin America, China and India. " -
