The Impact of Social Media on Vaccination: A Narrative Review
This study examines the influence of social media on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and non-COVID-19 vaccination in Asia during the peri-pandemic period. Through a comprehensive analysis of available literature, we aim to elucidate the role of SMPs in shaping vaccination attitudes and behaviors. The findings highlight the detrimental impact of social media on vaccination efforts and provide insights into addressing vaccine hesitancy during this critical period. A narrative review was conducted by searching the PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases from inception to May 26, 2022. Only English-language articles i...

Safety and immunogenicity of SIIPL Tdap, a new tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid and acellular pertussis vaccine, in healthy subjects 4-65  years of age: A Phase II/III randomized, observer-blinded, active controlled, multicenter clinical study in Germany
CONCLUSIONS: Booster vaccination with SIIPL Tdap was non-inferior to comparator Tdap with respect to the immunogenicity of the vaccine components and was equally well tolerated. EudraCT number: 2019-002706-46.PMID:37827966 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2023.09.060 (Source: Vaccine)

MHC-II Expression on Oral Langerhans Cells Differentially Regulates Mucosal CD4 and CD8 T Cells
In murine periodontitis, the Th17 response against Porphyromonas gingivalis in CLN is abrogated by diphtheria toxin-driven depletion of Langerhans cells (LCs). We determined the impact of MHC-II presentation in LCs on Th17 cells in the oral mucosa of mice. Using an established human-Langerin promoter-Cre mouse model we generated LC-specific deletion of the H2-Ab1 (MHC-II) gene. MHC-II expression was ablated in 81.2% of oral-resident LCs compared to>99% of skin-resident LCs. MHC-II (LC ΔMHC-II) depletion did not reduce the number of CD4 T cells nor the frequency of Th17 cells when compared to wild-type mice. (Source: Journ...

Major Histocompatibility Complex II Expression on Oral Langerhans Cells Differentially Regulates Mucosal CD4 and CD8 T Cells
In murine periodontitis, the T helper (Th)17 response against Porphyromonas gingivalis in cervical lymph node is abrogated by diphtheria toxin –driven depletion of Langerhans cells (LCs). We determined the impact of major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II) presentation in LCs on Th17 cells in the oral mucosa of mice. Using an established human-Langerin promoter-Cre mouse model, we generated LC-specific deletion of the H2-Ab1 (M HC-II) gene. MHC-II expression was ablated in 81.2% of oral-resident LCs compared with>99% of skin-resident LCs. (Source: Journal of Investigative Dermatology)

Reassurance of population immunity to diphtheria in England: Results from a 2021 national serosurvey
CONCLUSIONS: Basic diphtheria protection is comparable between 2021 and 2009. The increase in immunity in working age adults is likely due to the school leaver booster introduced in 1994. The current vaccination schedule is maintaining sufficient population immunity. However, we recommend clinicians remain vigilant to severe diphtheria outcomes in older adults, because of their observed susceptibility.PMID:37821313 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2023.10.003 (Source: Vaccine)

Immunogenicity and safety of concomitant administration of the sabin-strain-based inactivated poliovirus vaccine, the diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis vaccine and measles-mumps-rubella vaccine to healthy infants aged 18 months in China
The COVID-19 pandemic had a profound impact on China's healthcare system, causing a noticeable decline in vaccine coverage and a subsequent resurgence of vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) [1 –4]. Immunization programs are intricate, requiring children to receive multiple vaccines concurrently. As new non-immunization programming vaccines (such as Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine (Hib), rabies vaccine, and influenza vaccine (InfV), are available in China, but are usually paid for out-of-pocket, as they are included in neither the EPI system nor government health insurance) are introduced, the number of vaccines adm...

Cost minimization analysis of a hexavalent vaccine in Argentina
CONCLUSIONS: The switch to an alternative scheme with the hexavalent vaccine in Argentina would result in marginally higher vaccine costs, which are mostly offset by the lower costs associated with improved logistics, fewer separate vaccines, and a reduction in adverse events.PMID:37803345 | DOI:10.1186/s12913-023-10038-0 (Source: Cell Research)

Factors associated with vaccine coverage improvements in Senegal between 2005 and 2019: a quantitative retrospective analysis
Conclusions Childhood vaccination was more likely among children whose mothers had higher literacy, received skilled prenatal care and had perceived ease of access to care when sick. Overall, vaccination coverage is high in Senegal and disparities in coverage between regions have decreased significantly in recent years. (Source: BMJ Open)
