Spread of multidrug resistance in non-PCV13/PCV20 serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae: A cross-sectional study ten years after the introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in Japan
J Microbiol Immunol Infect. 2023 Jul 20:S1684-1182(23)00123-8. doi: 10.1016/j.jmii.2023.07.004. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTen years after the introduction of the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) in Japan, the prevalence rates of non-PCV13 and non-PCV20 serotypes among pediatric pneumococcal isolates were 94.0% and 73.7%, respectively. The predominant non-PCV13/PCV20 serotypes (15A, 35B, and 23A) were mostly multidrug-resistant (≥80.5%), exhibiting non-susceptibility to penicillin.PMID:37517964 | DOI:10.1016/j.jmii.2023.07.004

Safety and immunogenicity of 15-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in Japanese healthy infants: A phase III study (V114-033)
CONCLUSION: In Japanese infants, a four-dose series of V114 was generally well tolerated. Compared with PCV13, V114 provided non-inferior immune responses to the 13 shared serotypes and higher immune responses to serotype 22F and 33F post-primary series.TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04384107; EudraCT 2019-003644-68.PMID:37344262 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2023.05.064

Pneumonia hospitalization after introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in Japan: Descriptive study using a nationwide claims database
CONCLUSION: Our study estimated 4-6 pneumonia hospitalizations per 1000 pediatric population in Japan, with a 34 % decrease after the introduction of PCV. This study examined the nationwide effectiveness of PCV, further studies are needed in all age groups.PMID:37286407 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2023.05.065

Changes in vaccination administration in Japan
Vaccine. 2023 Mar 16:S0264-410X(23)00282-7. doi: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2023.03.020. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis paper reviews the administration related to vaccination in Japan after the enactment of the Immunization Act in 1948, under which vaccination was implemented mandatory for the public. To enhance the effectiveness of vaccination activities, the government implemented group vaccination, which is convenient for vaccinating recipients all at once. In 1976, Japan established the relief system for health damage after vaccination. While some projects, such as the mass administration of live oral polio vaccine in 1961...

International Travel Vaccine Recommendations for Children
This article (1) explores the universally recommended routine vaccines that are particularly important for children to be up to date before travel (ie, measles, mumps, rubella; hepatitis A and B; polio; meningococcal; coronavirus disease 2019 [COVID-19]; and influenza) and (2) explains the travel-specific vaccination recommendations (ie, dengue, cholera, typhoid, tick-borne encephalitis, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, and rabies). Physicians can encourage parents to consult the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website for travel vaccine recommendations (https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel). Children must remain up...
