Prevaccination Antibody Screening and Immunization Program for Healthcare Personnel against Measles, Mumps, Rubella, and Varicella in a Japanese Tertiary Care Hospital.
Abstract Susceptible healthcare personnel (HCP) are at high risk for acquiring and transmitting measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (MMRV). Presumptive evidence of immunity to MMRV is recommended for HCP. The aim of this investigation was to examine the seroprevalence of MMRV in Japanese HCP and the association with history or vaccination in terms of occupational safety. To improve infection control at our hospital, we also assessed their immune status by implementing prevaccination antibody screening and an immunization program with postvaccination serological testing. We implemented seroprevalence surveys on ...

Measles associated with international travel in the region of the Americas, Australia and Europe, 2001 - 2013: A systematic review
Travel volumes are still increasing resulting in a more interconnected world and fostering the spread of infectious diseases. We aimed to evaluate the relevance of travel-related measles, a highly transmissible and vaccine-preventable disease.

Ebola Vaccines: Why Clinical Trials Are Just the First Step
With clinical trials for Ebola vaccines now under way, and with governments and manufacturers stepping up to fund them, there is an almost palpable sense that the panic is over and the problem solved. The reality, however, is that even if a safe and effective vaccine emerges and the epidemic is brought under control, we are still in many ways no better prepared for future outbreaks than we were a year ago. So how is it that we can spend billions of dollars every year keeping fleets of nuclear-armed submarines permanently patrolling our oceans, to protect us from a threat that will almost certainly never happen, and yet i...

Measles and the risk posed by international travelers at the time of elimination or post-elimination
Measles, once a ubiquitous, highly contagious disease affecting practically every individual in a given population by adolescence, has now become a fairly controlled infection in many parts of the world due to the successful implementation of the measles vaccine. The success of this vaccine is also underscored by its impact on mortality as estimated measles death fell by 75% from 544,200 in 2000 (when measles was considered the leading cause of vaccine-preventable deaths in children and the fifth leading cause of all deaths in children under 5 years of age) to 145,700 in 2013 effecting also a significant global decline in ...

The heterologous (non-specific) effects of vaccines: implications for policy in high-mortality countries
There are important interactions between vaccines, and between vaccines and unrelated (heterologous) infections. In high-mortality regions, until the next vaccine is given, live vaccines such as bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) and measles vaccines reduce mortality from infections such as pneumonia and sepsis. However, non-live vaccines such as diphtheria, tetanus and whole-cell pertussis vaccine (DTP) may increase mortality from infections other than diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis. All-cause mortality might be reduced if an extra dose of Edmonston-Zagreb measles vaccine were given at 20 weeks of age, 4–6 wee...

Sex-based differences in immune function and responses to vaccination
Females typically develop higher antibody responses and experience more adverse reactions following vaccination than males. These differences are observed in response to diverse vaccines, including the bacillus Calmette-Guerin vaccine, the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, the yellow fever virus vaccine and influenza vaccines. Sex differences in the responses to vaccines are observed across diverse age groups, ranging from infants to aged individuals. Biological as well as behavioral differences between the sexes are likely to contribute to differences in the outcome of vaccination between the sexes. Immunological, hormo...

Is early measles vaccination better than later measles vaccination?
WHO recommends delaying measles vaccination (MV) until maternal antibody has waned. However, early MV may improve child survival by reducing mortality from conditions other than measles infection. We tested whether early MV improves child survival compared with later MV. We found 43 studies comparing measles-vaccinated and measles-unvaccinated children; however, only 16 studies had specific information that MV had been provided at 4–13 months of age, many before 9 months of age. In the 10 best studies (4 randomized trials and 6 observational studies) control children did not receive MV during follow-up. In eight of t...
