Establishment of Safety Monitoring System for Vaccines Not Included in the National Immunization Program in Korea
CONCLUSION: We are establishing the first safety monitoring system for selected non-NIP vaccines in Korea since September 2022 and report its progress as of July 2023. However, continuous government support is essential for its maintenance and improvement.PMID:38317446 | PMC:PMC10843970 | DOI:10.3346/jkms.2024.39.e45 (Source: J Korean Med Sci)

Seroconversion to 23 Valent Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccination in Children with Type 1 Diabetes
People with diabetes are at higher risk of severe pneumococcal infections, and half of school-age children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) are colonized with Streptococcus pneumoniae, with reduced antibody response to T-cell dependent antigens suspected.1-5 23 Valent Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine (PPSV23) is recommended for children with T1DM, yet the response to vaccination is not well-characterized.6 We hypothesized that children with T1DM would have suboptimal immunological response to PPSV23 as assessed by IgG change, with lower age of patient and poor glycemic control associated with impaired response.

Acquired Immunity in Patients with Multiple Myeloma Undergoing Maintenance Therapy Post-Autologous Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation
Maintenance therapy post-HCT for multiple myeloma is aimed to avoid relapse or delay disease progression. Immunizations are common practice to confer protection against vaccine-preventable infections during both early and late phases post-HCT. However, limited data on efficacy exist for patients undergoing maintenance therapy post-HCT.We performed this study to characterize the humoral and cellular responses to pneumococcal (PCV13) immunization post-HCT in patients undergoing maintenance therapy for multiple myeloma.

117. Making it Easy to Say Yes: Using a Quality Improvement Approach to Boost Immunization Rates and Examine Equity in an Adolescent Medicine Practice
Vaccinations protect against preventable harmful diseases. Complete vaccine records enable adolescents to access opportunities including school, work, and sports. In our Adolescent Medicine practice, documentation of immunizations was incomplete, with the inability to get initial vaccination records for new patients. By December 2023, we sought to: 1) increase the percent of patients with a complete vaccination record from 88% to 95%, 2) increase the percent of patients who are up to date on their meningococcal (MCV), human papillomavirus (HPV), and Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis (Tdap) vaccinations from 70% to 80%, an...

The Diverse Spectrum of Invasive Meningococcal Disease in Pediatric and Adolescent Patients: Narrative Review of Cases and Case Series
ConclusionsIMD continues to pose a threat to the health of children and adolescents. While this review was limited to case reports and is not reflective of global epidemiology, adolescents represented the largest group with IMD. Additionally, nearly half of the patients who died were adolescents, emphasizing the importance of monitoring and vaccination in this age group. Different infecting serogroups were predominant in different age groups, highlighting the usefulness of multivalent vaccines to provide the broadest possible protection against IMD. Overall, this review provides useful insights into real-life clinical pres...

Viruses, Vol. 16, Pages 202: Current Advances in Japanese Encephalitis Virus Drug Development
g
Yang Wang
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) belongs to the Flaviviridae family and is a representative mosquito-borne flavivirus responsible for acute encephalitis and meningitis in humans. Despite the availability of vaccines, JEV remains a major public health threat with the potential to spread globally. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there are an estimated 69,000 cases of JE each year, and this figure is probably an underestimate. The majority of JE victims are children in endemic areas, and almost half of the surviving patients have motor or cognitive sequelae. Thus, the absence of a clinical...
