Does support to Private Health Practitioners increase childhood vaccination coverage? Findings from a comparative study in Afghanistan
CONCLUSION: Our study shows that PHPs in remote and conflict affected locations in Afghanistan can play an important role to increase childhood vaccination coverage. Expanding this program to comparable provinces in Afghanistan and to other countries struggling with insecurity and weak public health systems may save much childhood morbidity and mortality.PMID:34325933 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2021.07.018

Vaccination timeliness in preterm infants: an integrative review of the literature
ConclusionThis review indicates that preterm infants are not vaccinated in a timely manner. Those involved in vaccinating preterm infants must be informed of the genuine contraindications to avoid unnecessary delays putting preterm infants at an increased risk of infection. Relevance to clinical practiceCare providers should acknowledge the risk of a delay in preterm infants and actively promote vaccination in this population. Regular training should help to negate the occurrence of inappropriate delays and careful discharge planning is needed to ensure that preterm infants are vaccinated on time.This article is protected ...

Validating the Use of Google Trends to Enhance Pertussis Surveillance in California
We examined the possible role of a delay to pertussis diagnosis (from symptom onset) limiting the model performance, but an extended models using lagged observed pertussis time series did not show improvement of model fit. This may indicate that the model is detecting real-time Google activity performed around the time patients receive a pertussis diagnosis (rather than detecting Google activity about pertussis symptoms before seeking healthcare). Since the launch of Google Flu Trends in 2009, there have been numerous other applications of Google Trends to a broad number of communicable diseases as diverse as Ebola and m...

Strategies for addressing vaccine hesitancy - A systematic review.
Abstract The purpose of this systematic review is to identify, describe and assess the potential effectiveness of strategies to respond to issues of vaccine hesitancy that have been implemented and evaluated across diverse global contexts. METHODS: A systematic review of peer reviewed (January 2007-October 2013) and grey literature (up to October 2013) was conducted using a broad search strategy, built to capture multiple dimensions of public trust, confidence and hesitancy concerning vaccines. This search strategy was applied and adapted across several databases and organizational websites. Descriptive analy...
