Invasive pneumococcal disease surveillance in Canada, 2020
CONCLUSION: Though the incidence of IPD decreased in 2020 in comparison to previous years across all age groups, disease due to PCV13 serotypes 3 and 4, as well as non-PCV13 serotypes such as 8 and 12F, increased in prevalence. Continued surveillance of IPD is imperative to monitor shifts in serotype distribution and antimicrobial resistance.PMID:38124782 | PMC:PMC10732480 (Source: Can Commun Dis Rep)

Associations of infections and vaccines with Alzheimer's disease point to a major role of compromised immunity rather than specific pathogen in AD
DISCUSSION: Our results support the idea that the connection between AD and infections involves compromised immunity rather than specific pathogen. We discuss mechanisms by which the declining immune surveillance may promote AD, and the role of biological aging in it. Repurposing of vaccines with broad beneficial effects on immunity could be a reasonable approach to AD prevention. Pneumococcal and zoster vaccines are promising candidates for such repurposing.PMID:38106098 | PMC:PMC10723482 | DOI:10.1101/2023.12.04.23299092 (Source: Herpes)
