Danish MMR vaccination coverage is considerably higher than reported.
CONCLUSIONS: The MMR1 vaccination coverage in Denmark seems to be considerably higher than reflected in national registers. Using medical record review to re-assess the vaccination status revealed that most of the supposedly unvaccinated children had, in fact, been vaccinated. FUNDING: The Danish Research Foundation for General Practice and the General Practitioners' Foundation for Education and Development. TRIAL REGISTRATION: not relevant.

Socio-economic and demographic determinants of full immunization among children of 12-23 months in Afghanistan.
This study indicated that the full-immunization rate in Afghanistan was quite low compared to the national target of 90% coverage. Therefore, strategies taking into account the identified factors seem to be vital to improve vaccination coverage. PMID: 28626253 [PubMed - in process]

Information is in the eye of the beholder: Seeking information on the MMR vaccine through an Internet search engine.
Authors: Yom-Tov E, Fernandez-Luque L Abstract Vaccination campaigns are one of the most important and successful public health programs ever undertaken. People who want to learn about vaccines in order to make an informed decision on whether to vaccinate are faced with a wealth of information on the Internet, both for and against vaccinations. In this paper we develop an automated way to score Internet search queries and web pages as to the likelihood that a person making these queries or reading those pages would decide to vaccinate. We apply this method to data from a major Internet search engine, while people s...

Examples of Outcome Reporting Bias in Vaccine Studies: Illustrating How Perpetuating Medical Consensus Can Impede Progress in Public Health
CONCLUSIONS: Conflicts of interest (e.g., financial) that abound between health regulatory agencies and the pharmaceutical industry impact what is ultimately reckoned as medical consensus. Outcome reporting bias that is inherent to all researchers to some degree, obscures medical and scientific truth. Advancement of public health requires that researchers have integrity and an openness and willingness to collaborate to resolve contradictory findings. In fact, it is usually through meticulous, rigorous, scientific investigation of contradictory findings that medical science has advanced and contributed to improvements in pu...

A Shot in the Arm Can Prevent Cervical Cancer
Afshan Bhurgri, a cancer survivor, advises women to listen to their bodies and be aware of the symptoms of cervical cancer. Credit: Zofeen Ebrahim/IPSBy Zofeen EbrahimKARACHI, Jul 26 2023 (IPS) “Listen to your body, and if there is anything strange happening, do not ignore it,” is the advice of 57-year-old Afshan Bhurgri, a cancer survivor. Eight years ago, she was diagnosed with cervical cancer at a time when she was “in a good place” in life. Her kids were grown up, and she had more time to herself. A fitness freak, the schoolteacher’s daily routine included going to the gym daily. “I joined a creative writin...

Maternal Education and Immunization Status Among Children in Kenya
This study used retrospective cross-sectional data from the 2008–2009 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey for women aged 15–49, who had children aged 12–23 months, and who answered questions about vaccination in the survey (n = 1,707). The majority of the children had received vaccinations, with 77 % for poliomyelitis, 74 % for measles, 94 % for tuberculosis, and 91 % for diphtheria, whooping cough (pertussis), and tetanus. After adjusting for other covariates, women with primary, secondary, and college/university education were between 2.21 (p < 0.01) and 9.10 (p < 0.001) times more likely to immuni...

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...

Narcolepsy in Adolescence — A Missed Diagnosis: A Case Report
In this report, we present a case of an adolescent male with all four cardinal symptoms of narcolepsy who was misdiagnosed with epilepsy, psychosis, and depression. We also discuss various issues regarding narcolepsy in children and adolescents. Case Report Mr. A, an 18-year-old man, presented to psychiatry outpatient services with excessive daytime sleepiness of approximately 1.5 years’ duration. When the chronology of symptoms was evaluated, it was evident that about 1.5 years before presentation, the patient had an episode of high-grade fever (101–103?F) and was empirically treated for typhoid and malaria. Within a ...

Vaccine confidence among parents: Large scale study in eighteen European countries.
CONCLUSION: The majority of parents in Europe believe in the importance of childhood vaccination. However, significant lack of confidence was found in certain European countries, highlighting the need for continuous monitoring, awareness and response plans. The possible influence of different types of healthcare providers on parental decisions demonstrated for the first time in our survey, calls for further research. Monitoring and continuous medical education efforts aimed mostly at those professionals who might not be likely to recommend vaccination are suggested.

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...

What's in a number? The value of titers as routine proof of immunity for medical students
CONCLUSIONS: The requirement of numerical, non-standardized serologic testing highlights an oversight in medical school admissions documentation. The requirement for quantitative values to demonstrate immunity is not practical from a laboratory standpoint, and is not needed to show individual immunity to these vaccine-preventable diseases. Until a more standardized process is adopted, laboratories will need to provide clear documentation and direction for quantitative titer requests.PMID:36948982 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2023.03.009
