You can be better than this, Google Translate. Yes, identify when words are gender-specific, but do it consistently, not only when it violates some seriously dated assumptions

Google translation of Krankenpfleger as „Male nurse“

Google translation of Krankenpflegerin as „nurse“

Google translation of Arzt as „Physician“

Google translation of Ärztin as „Doctor (female)“

✈️ Ob Strandurlaub, Städtereise oder Fernreise: Zur Reisevorbereitung gehört auch ein Blick in den Impfpass. Die STIKO hat gemeinsam mit der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Tropenmedizin, Reisemedizin und Globale Gesundheit e.V. (DTG) die Reiseimpfempfehlungen aktualisiert. 🔗 rki.de/reiseimpfungen

In der Hand hält sie einen Reisepass und blickt nachdenklich nach oben. Oben links befindet sich das Label „Epidemiologisches Bulletin“. Ein weißer Pfeil weist auf den Hinweis „Das ist neu bei den Reiseimpfungen“.

Text auf der Grafik:

Was ist neu?

Die STIKO hat gemeinsam mit der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Tropenmedizin, Reisemedizin und Globale Gesundheit e.V. (DTG) die Reiseimpfempfehlungen aktualisiert.

Die Impfempfehlungen enthalten u.a.:

📄 die aktuellen Standard- und Indikationsimpfempfehlungen der STIKO

🦟 die Reiseimpfempfehlung zu Chikungunya

🌍 die aktualisierte Epidemiologie zu allen aufgeführten Erregern

🗺️ die Verweise auf die DTG-Empfehlungen zur Malaria-Prophylaxe in den Ländertabellen

Text auf der Grafik:

Reise geplant? Impfstatus geprüft?

Mit Beginn der Urlaubssaison können Reiseimpfungen wichtig werden.

Eine reisemedizinische Beratung bietet die Gelegenheit:

➡️ zu prüfen, ob der Impfstatus vollständig ist,

➡️ Impflücken bei Standard- und Indikationsimpfungen zu identifizieren,

➡️ fehlende Impfungen rechtzeitig vor Reisebeginn nachzuholen.

Text auf der Grafik:

Reiseimpfungen sind individuell

Welche Impfungen sinnvoll sind, richtet sich nach:

➡️ dem Reiseziel

➡️ der Art der Reise

➡️ den persönlichen Voraussetzungen

➡️ dem bestehenden Impfschutz

Eine reisemedizinische Beratung hilft dabei, den passenden Impfschutz zu planen.

A #painting from a series I did of a bay in the west of Ireland. "Bertraghboy Bay 5" came out of a day cycling in Connemara where I was on a high from the incessant beauty of it all as every bay and mountain came into view. #art #SpeirGhorm #ArtAdventCalendar

Landscape format mat board painted in loose very heavily textured acrylics creating broken effects all over. A blue bay comes in from the left. In the foreground is clumpy green grass with specks of blue, yellow, white and red, and black rocks. On far side of bay is a ridge of low hills, in pale olive and lilac with, low down, a cluster of turquoise trees holding a scattering of white cottages - little more than dots or tiny triangles of their gable ends. Nearer than them, on the right side an orange hill slopes down to lines of black and orange rocks in the water. Behind the hills are two pyramidal rounded peaked mountains in pale blue. Sky is paler blue with white blurry clouds. Signed top left in red, Liam Daly

An elderly lady looks off to the side into the distance with a worried expression. She has grey hair, a prominent nose and eyes hooded by old age. She is wearing a white and blue checkered shirt over top of a white turtleneck that matches the white highlights of her hair. Over all that is a gray sweater. The backdrop is strips of trellis that mimic the checkered pattern of her shirt.
