Vaccine acceptance: Science, policy, and practice in a ‘post-fact’ world

We must continue our efforts to promote vaccine acceptance and thus increase vaccination uptake, by fostering more effective vaccination communication

Is immunisation education in midwifery degrees adequate?

Midwifery university education is an important arena for developing future vaccine advocates

Using pneumococcal carriage studies to monitor vaccine impact in low- and middle-income countries

We review the role of pneumococcal carriage studies for the evaluation of PCVs in LMICs and discuss optimal methods for conducting these studies

Vaccine discussions in pregnancy: interviews with midwives to inform design of an intervention to promote uptake of maternal and childhood vaccines

We explored midwives' attitudes and values regarding maternal and childhood vaccination, their perceived role in vaccine advocacy

Risk of newly detected infections and cervical abnormalities in adult women seropositive or seronegative for naturally acquired HPV-16/18 antibodies

Naturally acquired anti-HPV-16 antibodies were associated with a decreased risk of subsequent infection and cervical abnormalities in women >25 years

SCN1A Variants in vaccine-related febrile seizures: A prospective study

Pathogenic SCN1A variants may be identified in infants with vaccine-proximate febrile seizures

The Path to Group A Streptococcus Vaccines: World Health Organization Research and Development Technology Roadmap and Preferred Product Characteristics

Here, the role, status, and directions in Group A Streptococcus vaccines research are discussed

The impact of influenza infection on young children, their family and the health care system

Influenza infection in young children has a significant impact on medication use, absenteeism and the use of health care service

Are there differences in immune responses following delivery of vaccines through acutely or chronically sun-exposed compared with sun-unexposed skin?

The review provides the basis for further research into the effects of acute and chronic UV radiation exposure on skin cells in the context of vaccination

The potential global cost-effectiveness of prospective Strep A vaccines and associated implementation efforts

Group A Streptococcus causes a wide range of diseases from relatively mild infections including pharyngitis to more severe illnesses such as invasive diseases and rheumatic heart disease (RHD). Our aim is to estimate the cost-effectiveness of a hypothetical Strep A vaccine on multiple disease manifestations at the global-level.
