Impact of health education on promoting influenza vaccination health literacy in primary school students: a cluster randomised controlled trial protocol
This study aims to evaluate the effect of health education interventions on influenza vaccination rates and health literacy. Methods and analysis This cluster randomised controlled trial will enrol 3036 students in grades 4–5 from 20 primary schools in Dongguan City, China. Schools will be randomised to an intervention group receiving influenza vaccination health education or a control group receiving routine health education. The primary outcome is the influenza vaccination rate. Secondary outcomes include health literacy levels, influenza diagnosis rate, influenza-like illness incidence and vaccine protection rate...

Reliance on sources of immunization information and vaccine uptake among older adults in a rural state: The mediating role of trust
Vaccine. 2024 Apr 10:S0264-410X(24)00444-4. doi: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2024.04.030. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOlder adults are more vulnerable to the negative impacts of infectious diseases than younger individuals. However, regardless of the importance and effectiveness of vaccines to reduce morbidity and mortality, issues remain with vaccine hesitancy among this population. Older adults' sources of immunization information and their level of trust in those sources may play a role in their vaccination behaviors. This research aimed to better understand the role of information sources and related issues of trust as related...

Viruses, Vol. 16, Pages 591: Molecular and Serological Detection of Bovine Coronaviruses in Marmots (Marmota marmota) in the Alpine Region
This study provides molecular and serological evidence of the presence of BCoV in an alpine marmot population due to a likely spillover event. Marmots share areas and pastures with roe deer and other wild ruminants, and environmental transmission is a concrete possibility. (Source: Viruses)

Excess mortality in Europe coincides with peaks of COVID-19, influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), November 2023 to February 2024
Since the end of November 2023, the European Mortality Monitoring Network (EuroMOMO) has observed excess mortality in Europe. During weeks 48 2023–6 2024, preliminary results show a substantially increased rate of 95.3 (95% CI:  91.7–98.9) excess all-cause deaths per 100,000 person-years for all ages. This excess mortality is seen in adults aged 45 years and older, and coincides with widespread presence of COVID-19, influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) observed in many European countries during the 2023/24 winter season.

Vaccines in cardiology, an underutilized strategy to reduce the residual cardiovascular risk
Arch Peru Cardiol Cir Cardiovasc. 2024 Mar 19;5(1):29-39. doi: 10.47487/apcyccv.v5i1.349. eCollection 2024 Jan-Mar.ABSTRACTCardiovascular diseases stand as the leading cause of mortality among adults globally. For decades, comprehensive evidence has underscored the correlation between infections, particularly those involving the respiratory system, and an elevated risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, as well as all-cause mortality. The mechanisms through which infections heighten cardiovascular events are intricate, encompassing immune system activation, systemic inflammation, hypercoagulable states, sympathe...

Blocking cell death limits lung damage and inflammation from influenza
Nature, Published online: 10 April 2024; doi:10.1038/d41586-024-00910-2Animals that receive an inhibitor of an antiviral cell-death response called necroptosis are less likely to die of influenza even at a late stage of infection. This has implications for the development of therapies for respiratory diseases. (Source: Nature AOP)
