... Vaccine coverage have been less than desired in young children in part due to parental vaccine hesitancy. Addressing health beliefs through patient-centered communication approaches such as motivational interviewing (MI) may improve vaccine confidence. Thus, the objective of this study was to determine the difference in paediatric vaccination coverage rates based on the Advisory Committee on Immun ...

Abstract:
... The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of concordance and discordance in the COVID-19 vaccination status of intimate couples. Partners are well known to influence each other’s health behaviors, but previous reports of couples’ COVID-19 vaccination status were not found. Among 1305 respondents to an on-line survey who were living with their partners, couples’ COVID-19 vaccination ...

Abstract:
... The Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) uses vaccination data from electronic health records (EHR) at eight integrated health systems to monitor vaccine safety. Accurate capture of data from vaccines administered outside of the health system is critical for vaccine safety research, especially for COVID-19 vaccines, where many are administered in non-traditional settings. However, timely access and inclu ...

Abstract:
... The BCG vaccine will, in 2021, have been in use for 100 years. Much remains to be understood, including the reasons for its variable efficacy against pulmonary tuberculosis in adults. This review will discuss what has been learnt about the BCG vaccine in the last two decades, and whether this new information can be exploited to improve its efficacy, by enhancing its ability to induce either antige ...

... Zimbabwe has one of the highest incidence rates of cervical cancer in the world – 61.7 per 100,000 women. The government of Zimbabwe introduced bivalent HPV vaccine with a 0,12 month schedule to all 10–14 year old girls using a pulsed-campaign approach in May 2018 (dose 1) and May 2019 (dose 2). In August 2019, we conducted a population-based, two-stage cluster survey of households with girls who ...

Abstract:
... Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines were first licensed as a three-dose series. Two doses are now widely recommended in some age groups; there are data suggesting high efficacy with one dose. We updated a systematic literature review of HPV vaccine effectiveness by number of doses in observational studies. We searched Medline and Embase databases from January 1, 2007, through September 29, 2021. D ...

... The varicella vaccine was first introduced into the Brazilian immunization schedule in September 2013 as a single dose for children aged 15 months. In 2018, a second dose was recommended for individuals between 4 and 6 years old. This study aims to assess the impact of routine varicella vaccination on the number and profile of hospitalized varicella patients during the single dose period, as well ...

Abstract:
... Vaccines are the most cost-effective resource to contain and eliminate infectious diseases. Despite decades of research in the field, several pathogens have eluded the effect of conventional vaccines mostly due their failure in inducing strong T cell responses. There is a need for new vaccine technologies that can surpass this problem. Recent advances in imaging techniques have allowed the study o ...

... Malawi introduced the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine nationwide in January 2019, with a target population of nine-year-old girls. Early in rollout, some health facilities reported stockouts, raising questions about the accuracy of the age eligibility of girls registered during the initial population mapping exercise. Mapping results showed that the estimated number of nine-year-old girls regis ...

... Designing effective public health campaigns to combat COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy requires an understanding of i) who the vaccine hesitant population is, and ii) the determinants of said population’s hesitancy. While researchers have identified a number of variables associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy that could inform such campaigns, little is known about the cumulative or relative predicti ...

Abstract:
... Core vaccinations and specific antibody titer evaluations are strongly recommended worldwide by all the vaccination guidelines. Virus neutralization (VN) is considered the gold standard for measuring antibody titer against canine distemper virus, but it is complex and time consuming, and the use of in-clinics tests would allow to obtain quicker results. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ag ...
