Educational interventions for health professionals managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in primary care
CONCLUSIONS: The evidence of efficacy was equivocal for educational interventions for health professionals in primary care on the proportion of COPD diagnoses confirmed with spirometry, the proportion of patients with COPD who participate in pulmonary rehabilitation, and the proportion of patients prescribed guideline-recommended COPD respiratory medications. Educational interventions for health professionals may improve influenza vaccination rates among patients with COPD and patient satisfaction with care. The quality of evidence for most outcomes was low or very low due to heterogeneity and methodological limitations of...

The COVID-19 pandemic and vaccination abandonment in children: spatial heterogeneity maps
CONCLUSION: in an attempt to mitigate the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the immunization program experienced setbacks. The presence of clusters points to the need to implement integrated strategies that may involve different sectors for an active search for children and prevent outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases in the near future.PMID:36228235 | PMC:PMC9545939 | DOI:10.1590/1518-8345.6132.3642

Exclusion of older adults and immunocompromised  individuals in influenza, pneumococcal and COVID-19 vaccine trials before and after the COVID-19 pandemic
CONCLUSIONS: During the COVID-19 pandemic, we found a decrease in the exclusion of older adults from vaccine trials but no significant change in the inclusion of immunocompromised individulas.PMID:37027085 | PMC:PMC10080508 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-023-02380-4

Systematic review of pneumococcal disease costs and productivity loss studies in Latin America and the Caribbean.
CONCLUSION: This systematic review reinforced the importance of standardization of methods for cost studies that can allow comparison and reproducibility in other settings. These estimates can be useful for future economic analysis conducted to support the decision making process on the introduction of new vaccines in LAC. However, caution must be taken, as methodological aspects of studies will result in estimates with varying levels of accuracy and external validity. PMID: 23777689 [PubMed - in process]

Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines for preventing otitis media.
CONCLUSIONS: Based on current evidence of the effects of PCVs for preventing AOM, the licensed 7-valent CRM197-PCV7 has modest beneficial effects in healthy infants with a low baseline risk of AOM. Administering PCV7 in high-risk infants, after early infancy and in older children with a history of AOM, appears to have no benefit in preventing further episodes. Currently, several RCTs with different (newly licensed, multivalent) PCVs administered during early infancy are ongoing to establish their effects on AOM. Results of these studies may provide a better understanding of the role of the newly licensed, multivalent PCVs ...

Pneumococcal vaccines for cystic fibrosis.
CONCLUSIONS: As no trials were identified we cannot draw conclusions on the efficacy of routine pneumococcal immunisation in people with cystic fibrosis in reducing their morbidity or mortality. As many countries now include pneumococcal immunisation in their routine childhood vaccination schedule it is unlikely that future randomised controlled trials will be initiated. Rigorously conducted epidemiological studies may offer the opportunity to evaluate the efficacy of pneumococcal vaccination in reducing morbidity and mortality in people with cystic fibrosis.

Complement terminal fraction deficiency revealed at first invasive meningococcal infection.
We report the case of a 3-year-old child with no significant medical history who consulted in an emergency department for a fever after a stay in Senegal. Medical explorations concluded in septicemia and meningococcal W meningitis with a favorable outcome. Secondarily, we highlighted a complete deficiency of complement component C6. We diagnosed the same deficit in his twin sister who presented no infection. A long-term prophylactic antibiotic therapy and a meningococcal conjugate vaccine A,C,Y,W were set up for the twins. Recurrent invasive meningococcal infections and highlighting certain meningococcal serogroups are cur...

How Aggressive are Your Student’s College Vaccination Policies?
Conclusion College campuses vary in regards to their vaccine policies.  The meningitis vaccine is the most commonly required vaccination for all incoming freshmen, based on the recommendations of the CDC. Several other vaccinations are required and recommended, with much variation by individual colleges. Most universities provide a religious exemption for students, but some do not. It is worthwhile to investigate what your university vaccine policies are, in addition to the exemptions that exist for colleges in which your student has an interest.

You Decide: The Risks and Benefits of the MMR Vaccination
Most of us weigh the risks and benefits of medical procedures prior to obtaining them. We sign an informed consent form with an understanding of the potential harm versus the perceived benefits. In the case of vaccinations, the great majority of parents obtain vaccinations for their children, influenced by the “sales pitch” and “scare tactics” used by physicians. We are assured that the vaccination is safe and will protect us and our children from the various targeted deadly diseases. If we blindly trust our doctors, as I once had, we readily agree. It is important that we think critically before agreeing to any va...
