Reminding people about vaccinations can increase rates of immunization
Anupdated Cochrane Review, published in the Cochrane Library today, suggests that reminding people when their vaccinations are due or overdue increases the number of people being immunized.Rates of immunization against infectious diseases in children and adults are improving, but under-vaccination remains a problem that results in vaccine-preventable deaths and illnesses. In Europe, 11,316 cases of measles were reported during 2012, and an estimated four to 50 million symptomatic cases of flu occur each year.Reminders can be sent to patients, parents or guardians, or whole populations when vaccines are due, either because ...

Immunogenity and antibodies persistance of diphteria-tetanus-acellular pertussis vaccination in adolescent and adults: a sistematic review of the literature showed different response to the available vaccines
Discussion and conclusion: We found a limited number of good-quality RCTs investigating our object. The five component vaccines, although containing a lower dosage of antigen, are found to be more effective than one components vaccines for prevention. Evidences support the use of 5-components vaccines for booster sessions in adolescence and adulthood.Introduction: In industrialized countries, routine use of pertussis vaccines has shifted the burden of pertussis disease from children to infants, adolescents and adults, leading to the necessity of booster doses.Materials and methods:We prepared the review following the Prefe...

South Africa: Measles and Whooping Cough Outbreaks in South Africa - a Sign of Low Vaccination Coverage, Experts Warn
[The Conversation Africa] The concentrated global effort to use vaccination as a public health intervention began in 1974. Since then, vaccination has changed our lives. Worldwide, in the decades 2000-2020, childhood vaccination led to the reduction of deaths in children under 5 by 50% to 5.4 million deaths per year. Vaccination currently averts more than 5 million deaths each year worldwide. These are deaths that would have been caused by measles, whooping cough, tetanus, polio, diphtheria, pneumonia, rotavirus diarrhoea, and othe

Safety and Immunogenicity of Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Acellular Pertussis Immunization During Pregnancy in Mothers and Infants: A Randomized Clinical Trial
ABSTRACT: Pertussis has reemerged in the United States despite high childhood immunization rates. To protect young infants, tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap) has been used in postpartum women and close contacts of infants, in previously Tdap unimmunized pregnant women, as well as in all pregnant women during every pregnancy, regardless of prior Tdap immunization. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was undertaken to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of Tdap vaccine administered to women in the third trimester of pregnancy.
Healthy parturients aged 18 to 45 years a...

Evaluation of the Association of Maternal Pertussis Vaccination With Obstetric Events and Birth Outcomes
ABSTRACT: Bordetella pertussis is a highly contagious respiratory pathogen, with infants at highest risk for severe infections. In 2005, the tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid, and acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap) was licensed for use in nonpregnant adolescents and adults. Postpartum administration of Tdap to parents and other caregivers was encouraged to prevent the transmission of pertussis to newborns. In 2011, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommended that Tdap be administered at 20 weeks or greater to women who had not been previously vaccinated. In 2012, the committee recommended that Tdap...

Association of TDAP Vaccination With Acute Events and Adverse Birth Outcomes Among Pregnant Women With Prior Tetanus-Containing Immunizations
Obstet Gynecol Surv 2016;71(1):1–2
Neonates and infants are at increased risk of pertussis-related hospitalization and death. In 2012, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommended tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis (TDAP) vaccination for all pregnant women during each pregnancy irrespective of prior immunization status.
