Lack of seroprotection against diphtheria in the Austrian population, in light of reported diphtheria cases in Europe, 2022
Euro Surveill. 2023 Apr;28(17). doi: 10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2023.28.17.2300206.ABSTRACTFollowing an increase in diphtheria cases in Europe since 2022, we retrospectively estimated the prevalence of seroprotection against diphtheria and tetanus in 10,247 Austrian residents (population: 8,978,929) voluntarily tested between 2018 and 2022. Lack of seroprotection against diphtheria was found in 36% compared with 4% against tetanus. The geometric mean antibody concentration against tetanus was 7.9-fold higher compared with that for diphtheria. Raising awareness of regular booster vaccinations against diphtheria in combination wit...

Association between the COVID-19 pandemic and pertussis derived from multiple nationwide data sources, France, 2013 to 2020
ConclusionsThe strong reduction in outpatient and hospitalised pertussis cases suggests an impact of COVID-19 mitigation measures on pertussis epidemiology. Pertussis vaccination recommendations should be followed carefully, and disease monitoring should be continued to detect any resurgence after relaxation of mitigation measures.PMID:35748301 | DOI:10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2022.27.25.2100933

Pertussis surveillance results from a French general practitioner network, France, 2017 to 2020
ConclusionsThese results concur with incidences reported in other European countries, and with studies showing that the incidences of several respiratory diseases decreased in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results also suggest a shift of morbidity towards older age groups, and a rapid waning of immunity after vaccination, justifying to continue this surveillance.PMID:35485270 | DOI:10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2022.27.17.2100515
