The relationship between facility delivery and infant immunization in Ethiopia
Abstract: Objective: To determine whether facility delivery is related to compliance with recommended infant immunizations, particularly those that occur weeks or months after delivery.Methods: In a retrospective analysis, multivariate logistic regression was used to assess data from the 2011 Ethiopia Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS) to determine the strongest correlates of facility delivery. These correlates were then used, along with facility delivery itself, to determine the relationship between facility delivery and infant immunization.Results: In total, 3334 women delivered a newborn 12–24months before the 2011 ...

Stemness of T cells and the hematopoietic stem cells: Fate, memory, niche, cytokines
Abstract: Stem cells are able to generate both cells that differentiate and cells that remain undifferentiated but potentially have the same developmental program. The prolonged duration of the protective immune memory for infectious diseases such as polio, small pox, and measles, suggested that memory T cells may have stem cell properties. Understanding the molecular basis for the life-long persistence of memory T cells may be useful to project targeted therapies for immune deficiencies and infectious diseases and to formulate vaccines. In the last decade evidence from different laboratories shows that memory T cells may ...

Rubella and congenital rubella syndrome control and elimination - global progress, 2000-2012.
This report summarizes the global progress of rubella and CRS control and elimination during 2000-2012. As of December 2012, a total of 132 (68%) WHO member states had introduced RCV, a 33% increase from 99 member states in 2000. A total of 94,030 rubella cases were reported to WHO in 2012 from 174 member states, an 86% decrease from the 670,894 cases reported in 2000 from 102 member states. The WHO Region of the Americas (AMR) and European Region (EUR) have established rubella elimination goals of 2010 and 2015, respectively. AMR has started to document the elimination of measles, rubella, and CRS; in EUR, rubella inciden...

Vaccine‐preventable diseases: the role of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control
Abstract The role of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) is to strengthen the capacity of the European Union (EU) Member States to protect human health through the prevention and control of infectious diseases. The main objective of the programme on vaccine‐preventable diseases and invasive bacterial infections (VPD) is to provide robust evidence and high‐quality technical support to the EU Member States to help them in their efforts to prevent and control VPD. Since the establishment of ECDC, several existing VPD surveillance networks have been transferred to ECDC, namely EU‐IBIS, DIPNET an...

Global control and regional elimination of measles, 2000-2012.
This report updates the previous report for 2000-2011 and describes progress toward global control and regional elimination of measles during 2000-2012. During this period, increases in routine MCV coverage, plus supplementary immunization activities (SIAs) reaching 145 million children in 2012, led to a 77% decrease worldwide in reported measles annual incidence, from 146 to 33 per million population, and a 78% decline in estimated annual measles deaths, from 562,400 to 122,000. Compared with a scenario of no vaccination, an estimated 13.8 million deaths were prevented by measles vaccination during 2000-2012. Achieving th...

Achieving comprehensive childhood immunization: an analysis of obstacles and opportunities in The Gambia
Conclusions Despite high levels of coverage of many individual vaccines, delivery of vaccinations later in the schedule and achieving high coverage of full immunization remain challenges, even in a country with a committed childhood immunization programme, such as The Gambia. Our data indicate areas for targeted interventions by the national Expanded Programme of Immunization.

Early-life determinants of asthma from birth to age 20 years: A German birth cohort study
Conclusion: Parental asthma and nasal allergy increase asthma incidence in offspring up to adulthood. Avoiding tobacco smoke exposure during pregnancy, receiving vaccinations in early childhood, and starting day care between 1.5 and 3 years of age might prevent or delay the development of asthma.

Socio‐economic determinants and inequities in coverage and timeliness of early childhood immunisation in rural Ghana
ConclusionsGhana has substantial health inequity across urban/rural, socio‐economic and educational divides. While overall coverage was high, most vaccines suffered from poor timeliness. We suggest that countries achieving high coverage should include timeliness indicators in their surveillance systems.

The 2014 FIFA World Cup: Communicable disease risks and advice for visitors to Brazil – A review from the Latin American Society for Travel Medicine (SLAMVI)
Summary: The next FIFA World Cup will be held in Brazil in June–July 2014. Around 600,000 international visitors and participants (as well over 3 million domestic travelers) are expected. This event will take place in twelve cities. This event poses specific challenges, given its size and the diversity of attendees, including the potential for the transmission of imported or endemic communicable diseases, especially those that have an increased transmission rate as a result of close human proximity, eg, seasonal influenza, measles but also tropical endemic diseases. In anticipation of increased travel, a panel of experts...
