Interventions for increasing the uptake of immunisations in healthcare workers: A systematic review
CONCLUSION: Few robust studies that evaluate interventions to increase vaccination in HCWs are available. A limitation of this systematic review is that interventions are diverse, poorly reported and few were sufficiently alike to combine in an evaluation. More research on the effects of interventions to increase vaccination in HCWs is required, this should address a variety of vaccines and not just influenza vaccination.PMID:37527954 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2023.07.064

Review: Factors influencing parents' decisions to vaccinate children against COVID-19
CONCLUSION: This review identified critical factors affecting parents' vaccination behavior for their children. Awareness of these factors may reduce parents' COVID-19 vaccine refusal for their children and guide future planning and development of public health studies.PMID:37735055 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2023.09.020

Healthcare Update — 12-31-2012
A brief interview with an emergency physician who is also a health care attorney … defense only. On the right track about the Affordable Care Act, though – it’s all about access, not insurance. How often have you heard this claim before: Alcohol saved my life! For a man from the UK, the claim was apparently true. The CDC is warning that this year’s flu season is early and could be “severe.” We already got that picture. Vaccinations probably will help, so get them while you can. Washing your hands and avoiding sick people will definitely help. Antibiotics won’t help, so stop asking for a ZeePack for your c...

Early Flu Season 2013
Over this weekend, in the national news, you're seeing stories of what they're calling an Early Flu Season for the 2012-13 year. A quick search gets stories from NBC News, Huffington Post, Fox News, and ABC News. I had the flu 5 years ago, and I wrote about it in the post "Influenza Case Study: Me."It is not too late to get your flu shot, which experts are saying is a good match to the current flu virus strain that is out there. Check out this list of people who should get the flu vaccine from the CDC. In the video above, you'll see a TV interview I did last month. Back at that time, there was influenza cases in the southe...

Social determinants of health and seasonal influenza vaccination in adults >=65 years: a systematic review of qualitative and quantitative data
Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that the ability of adults>=65 years to receive seasonal influenza vaccine is influenced by structural, intermediate, and healthcare-related social determinants which have an impact at the health system, provider, and individual levels.

Universal immunisation against influenza in paediatrics, yes or no?
CONCLUSIONS: The flu vaccine in childhood has the right cost - benefit - risk relationship. In all systematic reviews the efficacy of the flu vaccine varied between 58%-65%, and effectiveness between 28%-61%. Both efficacy and effectiveness increase with age, and there are limited studies showing sufficient evidence in children < 2 years. There are further areas to develop: more and better clinical trials on influenza vaccines in infants from 6 to 23 months; further research to achieve better influenza vaccines (addition of adjuvants, higher doses in children between 6 and 23 months, and study the LAIV vaccine in childr...

Assessment of the MF59-adjuvanted pandemic influenza A/H1N1 vaccine. Systematic review of literature.

How to discover an antibiotic: a historian's guide | Vanessa Heggie
Given our pressing need for new antibiotics, or a whole new class of antibiotic-like drugs, perhaps we ought to try learning lessons from the history of penicillin (it might even help someone win the new Longitude Prize!)Historians of science and medicine are often terrible killjoys when it comes to great stories about discovery and genius. We've been quick to point out that the apocryphal story of Fleming discovering penicillin mould 'by accident' when it blew in through a window and landed on a discarded petri dish is, well, apocryphal. We're less unanimous about the way penicillin became a drug. Although the 'Oxford Gro...

80 years ago today: MRC researchers discover viral cause of flu | Michael Bresalier
Forget bird flu and swine flu, it was ferret flu and The Field magazine that helped MRC scientists discover the influenza virus, after eleven years of dedicated research.In the spring of 1933 a team of Medical Research Council (MRC) staff gathered nasal fluids and throat garglings from a sick researcher, filtered them, and dripped them into ferrets. Within forty-eight hours the ferrets would start sneezing and displaying signs of an influenza-like disease. This research formed the basis of an extraordinarily important Lancet paper by Wilson Smith, Christopher H Andrewes and Patrick Laidlaw, published on 8 July 1933, identi...

Influenza vaccination in children being treated with chemotherapy for cancer.
CONCLUSIONS: Paediatric oncology patients receiving chemotherapy are able to generate an immune response to the influenza vaccine, but it remains unclear whether this immune response protects them from influenza infection or its complications. We are awaiting results from well-designed RCTs addressing the clinical benefit of influenza vaccination in these patients. PMID: 23904194 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Five Month-Old Baby Dies Just Days After 8 Vaccinations – Parents Are Charged With Her Murder
Conclusion As with so many of these cases, Baby A did not just receive just one vaccine, so it is therefore difficult to pinpoint exactly which vaccine, if any, may have led to her death. However, it is vital that the doctors involved in this case as with all cases, consider the vaccines as a possible contributory factor. Sadly, these parents have been accused and charged with the murder of their daughter without any substantial evidence of foul play. There appears to be no evidence of external head injuries or bruising to the upper body to indicate that Baby A had been shaken. I believe that if this child had been shaken ...

Influenza B virus has global ordered RNA structure in (+) and (-) strands but relatively less stable predicted RNA folding free energy than allowed by the encoded protein sequence
Conclusions: These results reveal fundamental molecular similarities and differences between Influenza A and B and suggest a rational basis for choosing segments to target with therapeutics and for viral attenuation for live vaccines by altering RNA folding stability.

The risk of fever following one dose of trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine in children aged ≥6 months to
Abstract There are limited summary data published on the risk of fever and febrile seizures in children following influenza vaccination. We performed a review of the risk of fever and febrile seizures following receipt of trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV) in children aged ≥6 months to <36 months, searching PubMED and Google Scholar for English language articles from 2000 onwards, and initiated or ongoing unpublished studies since September 2007 using clinicaltrials.gov. Exclusions included other vaccine co-administration, missing ages or participant numbers, or unmeasured fever. We reviewed articl...

Descriptive investigation of the recording of influenza vaccination details on The Health Information Network database
ConclusionPatients exposed to an influenza vaccine in primary care can be identified from The Health Information Network. Identification of brand or batch number requires a text search. Regional variation in brand of vaccine should be considered when estimating sample size. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
