Did the change of the vaccination schedule effect pneumococcal conjugate vaccination compliance and adherence of premature and mature born infants in Germany? Answers from a claims database analysis
CONCLUSION: There is no proven evidence that the reduced PCV schedule for mature infants induced a higher acceptance of vaccination. The rate of unvaccinated infants remained at a considerable level and vaccinations were often delayed. Although the STIKO still recommends a 3+1 PCV schedule for premature infants in Germany, less than half of children showed a completed vaccination series. To protect these vulnerable groups, efforts are needed to increase adherence to the STIKO recommendation especially for premature infants.PMID:37263871 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2023.05.045

Influenza, Pneumococcal and Herpes Zoster Vaccination Rates in Patients with Autoimmune Inflammatory Rheumatic Diseases
CONCLUSIONS: The frequencies of vaccinations against influenza, Streptococcus pneumoniae and HZ have increased during recent years. While this can be partly explained by continuous efforts in patient education during the outpatient visits, the COVID-19 pandemic might also have contributed. Nevertheless, the persistently high incidence and mortality of these preventable diseases in patients with AIIRDs mandates further efforts to increase vaccination coverage, particularly in SLE patients.PMID:37112672 | PMC:PMC10146832 | DOI:10.3390/vaccines11040760

Viral diseases of the nervous system-Selected new and old viruses
Nervenarzt. 2023 Mar 21:1-8. doi: 10.1007/s00115-023-01452-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTViral diseases of the nervous system are ancient and poliomyelitis was described in Egypt as early as 2000 BC. They can cause a wide range of neurological symptoms, such as meningitis, encephalitis, meningoencephalitis, Guillain-Barré-like syndrome and stroke, often leaving mild to severe residuals. Depending on the pathogen, the symptoms appear quickly within hours, or lead to increasing chronic symptoms within 1 week or months. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which was newly identified in January...

A 5-year look-back at the notification and management of vaccine supply shortages in Germany
ConclusionVaccine product shortages in Germany resemble those present in neighbouring EU states and often reflect increased global demand not matched by manufacturing capacities.PMID:35485267 | DOI:10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2022.27.17.2100167
