Modelling Impact of Different Varicella Immunisation Strategies Upon Introduction in the Swedish National Programme

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Countries with varicella immunisation programmes have seen major reductions in disease burden. While two‐dose schedules are now universally adopted, dosing ages vary, and some countries initially include catch‐up vaccination of older children to speed impact. This modelling study assessed three two‐dose schedules in the Swedish setting (1)

Rationale for Recommending Varicella Vaccination Into the Swedish National Immunisation Programme

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Under Swedish law, a vaccination may be included in the National Immunisation Programme (NIP) if it effectively prevents transmission in the population, is cost‐effective and aligns with ethical and humanitarian principles. The Public Health Agency of Sweden (PHAS) evaluated these criteria for introducing varicella vaccination. Methods The

Progress Toward Regional Measles Elimination — Worldwide, 2000–2016

MMWR. Morbidity and mortality weekly report, 2017
The fourth United Nations Millennium Development Goal, adopted in 2000, set a target to reduce child mortality by two thirds by 2015. One indicator of progress toward this target was measles vaccination coverage (1).

Health Economic Evaluation of Varicella Vaccination Within the Swedish National Vaccination Programme for Children

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To assess the cost‐effectiveness of including varicella vaccination in the Swedish national vaccination programme for children together with the added impact of catch‐up vaccination of susceptible older children. Methods An epidemiological transmission model was used to assess the cost‐effectiveness of a two‐dose national varicella ...

Studies into the mechanism of measles-associated immune suppression during a measles outbreak in the Netherlands

Nature Communications, 2018
Measles causes a transient immune suppression, leading to increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections. In experimentally infected non-human primates (NHPs) measles virus (MV) infects and depletes pre-existing memory lymphocytes, causing immune ...

Measles virus [PDF]

Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2014
Measles was an inevitable infection during the human development with substantial degree of morbidity and mortality. The severity of measles virus (MV) infection was largely contained by the development of a live attenuated vaccine that was introduced into the vaccination programs.

A Personalised Vaccination Program Based on Immune Reconstitution in Paediatric Cancer Survivors

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Paediatric cancer survivors often experience treatment‐induced immunosuppression, requiring post‐treatment revaccination. However, immune recovery timelines vary, and current revaccination guidelines, largely based on data of varied quality derived from studies on acute‐lymphoblastic‐leukaemia (ALL), may not be applicable across all ...
