Pertussis epidemiology in Canada, 2005-2019
CONCLUSION: The highest morbidity and fatality of pertussis were among infants under one year of age. It is important to take measures to reduce transmission to infants who are too young to be vaccinated. Increasing vaccine coverage in children and pregnant women are important to reduce the burden of disease.PMID:36815868 | PMC:PMC9902035 | DOI:10.14745/ccdr.v49i01a05

Status of New Vaccine Introduction - Worldwide, 2016-2021
This report describes the status of introductions globally for eight World Health Organization (WHO)-recommended new and underutilized vaccines, comprising 10 individual vaccine antigens. By 2021, among 194 countries worldwide, 33 (17%) provided all of these 10 WHO-recommended antigens as part of their routine immunization schedules; only one low-income country had introduced all of these recommended vaccines. Universal hepatitis B birth dose; human papillomavirus vaccine; rotavirus vaccine; and diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis-containing vaccine first booster dose have been introduced by 57%, 59%, 60%, and 72% of all co...

Lower risk for COVID-19 hospitalization among patients in the United States with past vaccinations for herpes zoster and tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis
Prev Med Rep. 2023 Jun 25;35:102302. doi: 10.1016/j.pmedr.2023.102302. eCollection 2023 Oct.ABSTRACTInfluenza, tetanus, diphtheria, and herpes zoster (HZ) vaccination received within 10 years of the COVID-19 pandemic have been associated with less severe COVID-19 infection. We expanded on this evidence to determine if a receiving two different vaccinations (i.e., HZ and tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap)) was associated with a lower risk for COVID-19 hospitalization. De-identified medical record data from a large mid-western health care system was used to determine if, compared to those with neither HZ or Tdap vacci...

The Best of Highlight HEALTH 2012 – The Year in Review
As the year draws to a close, it’s become a tradition for us to take a look back at the top stories readers were interested in (this month, Highlight HEALTH celebrated it’s sixth year promoting advances in biomedical research). As we have in previous years, we’ve compiled two top ten lists of the most-viewed stories for 2012, one as measured by the absolute number of page views and the other as measured by the average number of page views per day posted.
To get a sense of underlying themes for the top ten lists, here’s a tag cloud of terms taken from articles that made the cut:

Why Whooping Cough Vaccines Are Wearing Off
By late summer 2010 an alarming number of children in California had developed pertussis, or whooping cough--five times as many as in the first half of 2009. David Witt, a physician and infectious disease specialist who works at Kaiser Permanente San Rafael Medical Center, cared for some of those sick children. His practice lies in the heart of Marin County, the famously counterculture spit of land north of San Francisco. At first, he assumed that the outbreak was a consequence of parents refusing vaccinations for their children. As the incidence continued to climb month after month, however--not just in northern Californi...

Vaccination Opt-Outs Found to Contribute to Whooping Cough Outbreaks in Kids
A California whooping cough epidemic in 2010 was one of the worst U.S. outbreaks of the disease in the past several decades. Ten infant deaths occurred among the more than 9,000 cases--the most in that state since 1947. Now, a study reveals that parental refusals to vaccinate their children may have played a part in that epidemic and possibly in a concurrent nationwide resurgence of the disease. The research found significant overlaps of areas with high numbers of whooping cough cases and areas where more parents had sought legal exemptions to opt out vaccinating their children. [More]

Long-Term Disease Database Proves the Value of Vaccines
Image: Jackhsiao/Wikimedia Commons To find out when whooping cough started making a comeback in Ohio, or how often measles kills in America, we turn to historical records. But those records aren’t very useful when they’re squirreled away in a distant office basement. The same goes for when they are embedded in a report–you can only look at them in the same way you might admire a painting, but you cannot drop the data into a spreadsheet and hunt for statistical significance. If you are only looking at a couple years’ worth of information that formatting dilemma is not such a big deal. You can scour t...
