What Immunity Do Breast Milk Antibodies Confer?
Discussion Breast milk (BM) has many benefits including its primary role providing appropriate nutrition for newborns and infants, which includes making those nutrients more bioavailable. While BM does not provide all of the nutritional needs over the entire year or two of breastfeeding, complimentary foods are important for furnishing additional nutritional needs along with helping development of appropriate taste and texture acceptance, along with oral-motor skills. Complimentary foods are recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics when the infant is developmentally ready which is commonly after 6 months of life. ...

Whole cell pertussis vaccination and decreased risk of IgE-mediated food allergy: a nested case-control study
ConclusionsAustralian infants who received wP vaccines were less likely to be diagnosed with food allergy in childhood than contemporaneous children who received aP vaccines. If a protective effect is confirmed in a randomised controlled trial, wP or mixed wP and aP vaccination schedules could form part of an effective strategy for combatting the rise in food allergies.

The ‘Stealth Move’ That Improved Michigan's Vaccine Rates
Just three years ago, Michigan had the fourth-highest rate of unvaccinated kindergartners in the nation. But when a charter school in northwestern Traverse City reported nearly two dozen cases of whooping cough and several cases of measles that November, state officials were jolted to action. Without much fanfare — or time for opponents to respond — they abandoned the state’s relatively loose rules for getting an exemption and issued a regulation requiring families to consult personally with local public health departments before obtaining an immunization waiver. The new rule sidestepped potential ideolog...

Vaccination by the pharmacist: Practical guidelines.
Abstract It appears to be entirely appropriate for pharmacists to administer vaccinations if restricted to a limited number of vaccines and a well-defined set of recipients. Recommended types of vaccines would be inert vaccines with no contraindications, including flu vaccines, booster shots for diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, and polio, and HPV vaccines for the prevention of cervical cancer. Recipients targeted for these types of vaccinations would only be adults and adolescents. In addition, pharmacist-administered vaccinations would not be recommended for pregnant women, people with immunodeficiencies, chronic ...
