A #norovirus vaccine would be extremely useful and welcome. Moderna is currently enrolling for a phase 3 study of its mRNA vaccine candidate for Norovirus which has shown promising results in earlier phase studies. The different genotypes of Norovirus make it a tough target. time.com/7205731/noro...

#MedSky #IDSky Importantly (& a huge inconvenience), #norovirus IS NOT DESTROYED BY HAND SANITIZER. YOU MUST WASH YOUR HANDS with soap & water for a min of 20 secs. It can survive freezing for months as well as heat up to 145F (the max temp of many home dishwashers 😖), so what do you do? /4

The cruise line involved in the earlier incident said affected passengers and crew members were isolated and that enhanced disinfection procedures were implemented. @maineusa.bsky.social noted, however, that norovirus can be transmitted before symptoms become apparent… #cruiseships #norovirus

#MedSky #IDSky It’s incredibly contagious, so barring these steps, it’s likely that 80-100% of those exposed will get #norovirus. Fun fact: people with B blood type less often get #norovirus, so if you’ve got one present, put them in charge of care/cleanup (sorry, B-bloodtype people, & thanks). /9

#MedSky #IDSky #Norovirus spreads when as few as 10 viral particles get in the mouth. Spread is usually via direct contact (eg, kissing), contaminated food/water, or touching contaminated surfaces (countertop, toy, soiled clothes) then mouth (eg, toddler toy in mouth, eating by hand, nailbiting). /2
