Real-world challenges in eligibility for MMR vaccination two years after autologous and allogeneic HSCT
Vaccine. 2023 Aug 29:S0264-410X(23)00778-8. doi: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2023.06.075. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMeasles outbreaks have raised concerns of fatal infections in immunocompromised patients. Canadian guidelines advise administration of live vaccines, such as measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR), two yearsafter hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) yet studies have not assessed eligibility based on medication contraindications. We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 72 autologous (auto-HSCT) and 68 allogeneic (allo-HSCT) recipients at the Windsor Regional Cancer Center to determine MMR reactivity and eligibilit...

The societal cost of vaccine refusal: A modelling study using measles vaccination as a case study
Vaccine. 2023 May 30:S0264-410X(23)00589-3. doi: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2023.05.039. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Increasing vaccine hesitancy and refusal poses a challenge to public health as even small reductions in vaccine uptake can result in large outbreaks of infectious diseases. Here we estimate the societal costs of vaccine refusal using measles as a case study.METHODS: We developed a compartmental metapopulation model of measles transmission to explore how the changes in the size and level of social mixing between populations that are "pro-vaccination", and "anti-vaccination" impacts the burden of measles....

Mumps resurgence in a highly vaccinated population: Insights gained from surveillance in Canada, 2002-2020
Vaccine. 2023 May 9:S0264-410X(23)00513-3. doi: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2023.04.078. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlthough mumps vaccination has been routine in Canada for decades, mumps cases and outbreaks continue to occur periodically. Mumps surveillance, including monitoring of the mumps virus genotype associated with disease activity, is important to document baseline activity and to advance further research into vaccine effectiveness. Here we describe a detailed analysis of mumps cases that have been detected in Canada from 2002 to 2020, with a focus on the mumps molecular epidemiology. In total, 7395 cases of mumps were ...

A cultural evolutionary model of the interaction between parental beliefs and behaviors, with applications to vaccine hesitancy
Theor Popul Biol. 2023 May 5:S0040-5809(23)00025-4. doi: 10.1016/j.tpb.2023.04.003. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHealth perceptions and health-related behaviors can change at the population level as cultures evolve. In the last decade, despite the proven efficacy of vaccines, the developed world has seen a resurgence of vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) such as measles, pertussis, and polio. Vaccine hesitancy, an individual attitude influenced by historical, political, and socio-cultural forces, is believed to be a primary factor responsible for decreasing vaccine coverage, thereby increasing the risk and occurrence of ...

An interregional measles outbreak in Spain with nosocomial transmission, November 2017 to July 2018
Euro Surveill. 2023 Apr;28(17). doi: 10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2023.28.17.2200634.ABSTRACTGiven sustained high vaccination coverage and enhanced surveillance for measles, Spain has been free of endemic measles transmission since 2014, achieving elimination certification from the World Health Organization in 2017. In November 2017, measles was introduced through an imported case travelling to the Valencian Community, causing an interregional outbreak. Here, we describe the outbreak using data reported to the national epidemiological surveillance network. The outbreak involved 154 cases (67 males, 87 females) notified in four reg...
