Randomized clinical trials of COVID-19 vaccines: Do adenovirus-vector vaccines have beneficial non-specific effects? [PDF]
iScience, 2023 Summary: We examined the possible non-specific effects of novel mRNA- and adenovirus-vector COVID-19 vaccines by reviewing the randomized control trials (RCTs) of mRNA and adenovirus-vector COVID-19 vaccines. We calculated mortality risk ratios (RRs) for

Implications of Non-Specific Effects for Testing, Approving, and Regulating Vaccines [PDF]
Drug Safety, 2023 The current framework for testing and regulating vaccines was established before the realization that vaccines, in addition to their effect against the vaccine-specific disease, may also have "non-specific effects" affecting the risk of unrelated diseases.

Non-specific effects of veterinary vaccines: a systematic review [PDF]
Vaccine, 2022 The benefits of vaccines have been centred on their specific effects on subsequent infections by target pathogens. Recent studies, however, have opened up new insights into additional effects of vaccines known as non-specific effects (NSEs) or heterologous effects of vaccines.

Do childhood vaccines have non-specific effects on mortality? [PDF]
Bulletin of the World Health Organization, 2003 A recent article by Kristensen et al. suggested that measles vaccine and bacille Calmette-Gu rin (BCG) vaccine might reduce mortality beyond what is expected simply from protection against measles and tuberculosis. Previous reviews of the potential effects of childhood vaccines on mortality have not considered methodological features of reviewed ...

Expert Review of Vaccines, 2018 Introduction: Emerging evidence suggests that vaccines, in addition to their disease-specific effects, have important non-specific effects (NSEs), which contribute to their overall effect on mortality and morbidity.

Non-specific effects of vaccination [PDF]
BMJ, 2005 EDITOR—Shann rightly questions the subtitle to my editorial, “Literature does not support either beneficial or detrimental effects.” I did not write it and failed to note its insertion by the editor at the last moment before the article went to press—for which I apologise. Of course, there are many well documented non-specific …

Oral Polio Vaccine Campaigns May Reduce the Risk of Death from Respiratory Infections
Vaccines, 2021 Oral polio vaccine (OPV) campaigns, but not other campaigns, have been associated with major reductions in child mortality. Studies have shown that OPV reduces the risk of respiratory infections.

Trials, 2022 Background Measles vaccination coverage in Guinea-Bissau is low; fewer than 80% of children are currently measles vaccinated before 12 months of age. The low coverage hampers control of measles.
