Predictors of HPV vaccination in the southern US: A survey of caregivers from 13 states

Other strategies to increase HPV vaccinations may include encouraging co-administration with other adolescent vaccines, increasing vaccine access, and promoting vaccinations for home/online-school students.PMID:34742592 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2021.10.036

Retrospective cohort study investigating extent of pertussis transmission during a boarding school outbreak, England, December 2017 to June 2018
Euro Surveill. 2021 Jul;26(26). doi: 10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2021.26.26.1900736.ABSTRACTOn 1 May 2018, a pertussis outbreak was declared and widespread vaccination recommended at an all-female secondary boarding school in southern England. We conducted a retrospective cohort study to determine the extent of pertussis transmission and identify risk factors in this semi-closed population.

A sub-analysis of 409 students found that both residential dormitory (p = 0.05) and school year (p = 0.03) were associated with pertu...
