It remains unclear if BMPC reflect different activation environments or maturation of their precursors.

Transplacental transfer of maternal antibodies following immunization with recombinant pertussis vaccines during pregnancy: real-world evidence
Pertussis, caused by Bordetella pertussis, is a highly contagious respiratory disease that poses a significant risk to young infants, resulting in both severe morbidity and mortality [1]. Among infants with pertussis, approximately 4% of cases are fatal. Dramatic decreases in pediatric pertussis cases and deaths have resulted from infant vaccination programs, which include whole-cell vaccines based on killed B. pertussis and acellular pertussis (aP) vaccines using highly purified B. pertussis antigens [1].

Childhood vaccination coverage and regional differences in Swiss birth cohorts 2012-2021: Are we on track?
CONCLUSION: Full vaccination coverage in Swiss children is still below 90 % with many vaccinations administered delayed. Given regional differences, missed or delayed booster vaccinations, and differences in vaccine-specific acceptability, more effort may be needed to achieve national vaccination targets.PMID:38593195 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2023.10.043 (Source: Vaccine)

Adherence to Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices in diabetes mellitus patients in Saudi Arabia: A multicenter retrospective study
CONCLUSION: In Saudi Arabia, patients with DM showed higher vaccination rates for annual influenza and COVID-19 vaccines compared to other vaccinations such as herpes zoster, Tdap, pneumococcal, and HPV. Factors such as vaccine recommendations provided by family physicians or specialists, the site of care, income level, DM-related hospitalization history, residency site, HbA1c level, and health sector type can significantly influence the vaccination rate in patients with DM.PMID:38591075 | PMC:PMC10999047 | DOI:10.4239/wjd.v15.i3.440 (Source: Herpes)

Immunogenicity and safety of adsorbed diphtheria-purified pertussis-tetanus-inactivated polio (Sabin strain)-Haemophilus type b conjugate combined vaccine (DPT-IPV-Hib) in healthy Japanese Infants  ≥ 2 and  & lt;  43 months of Age: A phase III, multicenter, active controlled, assessor-blinded, randomized, parallel-group study
CONCLUSION: A single-agent Gobik, the first DPT-IPV-Hib pentavalent vaccine approved in Japan, was confirmed to simultaneously provide primary and booster immunizations against Hib infection, pertussis, diphtheria, tetanus, and poliomyelitis and to have a preventive effect and safety comparable to concomitant vaccination with Hib (ActHIB®) and DPT-IPV quadrivalent vaccine (Tetrabik).PMID:38582691 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2023.03.077 (Source: Vaccine)

Vaccine coverage among children born to immigrant parents in Norway, 2000-2020
This study examines pertussis and measles vaccination coverage among six immigrant groups in Norway. These vaccines are normally administered as part of different combination vaccines and their coverage rate indicate the national vaccination coverage against a range of additional infections.METHODS: Data from the Norwegian National Population Register were linked at individual level with vaccination data from the Norwegian Immunisation Registry. The final sample consisted of 53,052 children born during 2000-2018 in Norway to parents who were born in Iraq, Lithuania, Pakistan, Poland, Somalia, or Vietnam. Vaccination covera...

Pertussis epidemic in Denmark, August 2023 to February 2024
We report a record high pertussis epidemic in Denmark since August 2023. Highest incidence was in adolescents, while peak incidence in infants was lower vs previous epidemics in 2019 and 2016. Among infants aged 0-2 months, over half (29/48) were hospitalised and one infant died, underlining the disease severity in the youngest. To protect infants, pertussis vaccination in pregnant women was introduced in January 2024 in the national vaccination programme. Improved vaccination surveillance in pregnant women is being implemented.PMID:38577803 | DOI:10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2024.29.14.2400160 (Source: Euro Surveill)
