Strengthening routine immunization systems to improve global vaccination coverage
Background Global coverage with the third dose of diphtheria–tetanus–pertussis vaccine among children under 1 year of age stagnated at ~ 83–84% during 2008–13. Sources of data Annual World Health Organization and UNICEF-derived national vaccination coverage estimates. Areas of agreement Incomplete vaccination is associated with poor socioeconomic status, lower education, non-use of maternal-child health services, living in conflict-affected areas, missed immunization opportunities and cancelled vaccination sessions. Areas of controversy Vaccination platforms must expand to include older ages incl...

Knowledge, perception and maternal immunisation practices of obstetricians in Singapore for the Tdap and influenza vaccines.
Abstract Obstetricians' knowledge and perception of evidence-based recommendations may influence the uptake of antenatal tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (Tdap) and influenza vaccination. Our survey aimed to assess the knowledge, perception and practices of local obstetricians regarding delivery of antenatal Tdap and influenza vaccines, and perceived barriers to maternal immunisation. There was generally adequate knowledge that Tdap and influenza vaccination in pregnancy was safe, effective and beneficial. However, knowledge regarding recommendations in local guidelines was poorer for Tdap compared to influenza v...

Different perspectives of immunizations during pregnancy.
CONCLUSIONS: Most of the participants either pregnant women or healthcare workers were not vaccinated against pertussis and influenza. Dissemination of maternal immunization must be supported by the team work of healthcare professionals, authorities, universities, professional associations, stake holders, media and patients with current, evidence based knowledge.

Comparison of attitudes toward routine maternal vaccines and COVID-19 vaccines among pregnant patients in an urban safety-net setting
CONCLUSIONS: Most participants supported routine prenatal vaccinations, including COVID vaccines. Clinicians are trusted information sources and can help reinforce positive attitudes and social norms of receiving vaccinations in pregnancy while addressing vaccine-specific concerns.FUNDING: This work was supported by Suzanne Cutler Vaccination Education & Research Fund at the Boston University Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine for funding and support.PMID:37210252 | DOI:10.1016/j.jnma.2023.04.003

Routine childhood vaccination programme coverage, El Salvador, 2011-In search of timeliness.
Abstract While assessing immunization programmes, not only vaccination coverage is important, but also timely receipt of vaccines. We estimated both vaccination coverage and timeliness, as well as reasons for non-vaccination, and identified predictors of delayed or missed vaccination, for vaccines of the first two years of age, in El Salvador. We conducted a cluster survey among children aged 23-59 months. Caregivers were interviewed about the child immunization status and their attitudes towards immunization. Vaccination dates were obtained from children immunization cards at home or at health facilities. We refe...

Immunization education for internal medicine residents: A cluster-randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS: Fact-based immunization education was useful in improving IM resident immunization rates for influenza and pertussis. The PCSDM immunization curriculum did not lead to increases in immunization rates compared with the fact-based curriculum, but it did significantly increase resident confidence in communicating with patients about vaccines.

IJERPH, Vol. 15, Pages 1432: In Search of Factors Negatively Affecting Vaccine Immunity to Pertussis in Preschool Children Before the Administration of the First Booster
Conclusions: Immunomodulation considered on the example of titre of IgG antibody to pertussis can serve as a useful model of the assessment of development of acquired immunity after mandatory vaccinations.

Direct Medical Costs of Four Vaccine-Preventable Infectious Diseases in Older Adults in Spain
CONCLUSION: The direct economic burden of herpes zoster, pneumococcal disease, influenza and pertussis in adults 45 years and older was high in Spain, and may be underestimated as it only considered medical assistance and not other applicable direct or indirect costs. Increasing vaccination rates in adults may potentially reduce the economic burden derived from these diseases, although future cost-effectiveness analysis including other disease-related costs, vaccination costs and vaccination effectiveness would be needed.PMID:35254649 | PMC:PMC8899779 | DOI:10.1007/s41669-022-00329-3

Does the Mother’s Level of Education Influence Immunization Coverage?
The objective of the study was to establish immunization coverage among under- five children in a rural setting in Kenya. The study examined the influence of formal education of the primary care taker of the under-five children on immunization coverage and presence of child immunization cards in the households with under-five children.
