Strengthening immunization programs through innovative sub-national public-private partnerships in selected provinces in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
CONCLUSIONS: Ultimately, the provincial MoUs were successful in bolstering provincial autonomy and capacity building with the biggest success being a drop in zero-dose children. While not all objectives have been met, the MoU approach served as an innovative program for key aspects of strengthening routine immunization in the DRC.PMID:37989612 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2023.11.029 (Source: Vaccine)

Polio eradication efforts: Above all, do no harm | Science
In the News story “Global polio eradication effort struggles with the end game” (22 September, p. 1271), J. Cohen interviews Tom Frieden, who deplores the slow eradication of wild polio virus and recommends the use of further attenuated oral polio vaccine strains to reduce the numbers of vaccine-caused paralytic polio. Although vaccine campaigns that use the improved vaccine virus would prevent polio caused by wild virus, they would still cause cases of polio. This plan is unacceptable when a safer, more effective vaccine protocol exists. (Source: Science: Current Issue)

Effectiveness of a vaccine recovery plan after the COVID-19 pandemic. Results of one year follow-up.
Conclusions.This study assessed the significant recovery of missed vaccinations due to the pandemic after one year of follow up of the recovery plan. Compared to the previous report, the VC difference among the cohorts narrowed for all vaccinations, except for the anti-men B and for the anti-HPV vaccination, and for men ACW135Y/C, for which a significant increase in 2021 VC compared to 2020 has been recorded.

Association between women ’s experience of domestic violence and childhood vaccination in West Africa: Cross-sectional analysis of Demographic and Health Survey data
ConclusionsThere was no significant association between a woman ’s exposure to domestic violence and whether her child was fully vaccinated. Further work is needed to understand the contextual factors which may explain potential variations between countries. (Source: PLoS One)

U.S. public support and opposition to vaccination mandates in K-12 education in light of the COVID-19 pandemic
CONCLUSION: Vaccination mandates in K-12 have broad support among the American public, even in more controversial cases such as HPV and COVID-19. Vocal opposition and growing interest by policymakers to limit or undo vaccination mandates are not supported by the broader public.PMID:37858447 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2023.10.016 (Source: Vaccine)
