Heterologous vaccine interventions: boosting immunity against future pandemics
Molecular Medicine, 2021 While vaccines traditionally have been designed and used for protection against infection or disease caused by one specific pathogen, there are known off-target effects from vaccines that can impact infection from unrelated pathogens.

Frontiers in Public Health, 2018 BackgroundMeasles vaccine (MV) administered as the last vaccine after the third dose of diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP) may be associated with better child survival unrelated to prevention of measles infection.

Prospects on Repurposing a Live Attenuated Vaccine for the Control of Unrelated Infections
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Live vaccines use attenuated microbes to acquire immunity against pathogens in a safe way. As live attenuated vaccines (LAVs) still maintain infectivity, the vaccination stimulates diverse immune responses by mimicking natural infection.

Paratuberculosis vaccination specific and non-specific effects on cattle lifespan
Vaccine, 2021 Records of cattle vaccination against paratuberculosis (PTB) have been analyzed to determine whether or not non-specific effect (NSE) on overall mortality similar to that observed in BCG vaccinated humans occurs in animals. The results of a previously reported slaughterhouse study on PTB prevalence were used as a reference on the age incidence of ...

Non-specific “non-effects” of vaccination [PDF]
BMJ, 2004 This issue carries a paper from Burkina Faso on the non-specific effects of vaccination on survival in children (p1309).1 The study analyses mortality in a cohort of children as a function of their vaccination status. The authors conclude that vaccination with diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTP) vaccine as well as BCG is associated with better ...

Frontiers in Public Health, 2018 BackgroundA recent WHO review concluded that live BCG and measles vaccine (MV) may have beneficial non-specific effects (NSEs) reducing mortality from non-targeted diseases. NSEs of oral polio vaccine (OPV) were not examined. If OPV vaccination campaigns

Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2020 Children who had received MMR as the most recent vaccine had a pooled 35% (95%CI: 12–53%) lower risk for hospitalization due to any infectious disease, compared to children who had received DTaP as the most recent vaccine (three studies, 1,919,192 ...

Measles Vaccination in Presence of Measles Antibody May Enhance Child Survival
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2020 Background: In trials of early two-dose measles vaccination (MV), with the first dose being given before 9 months of age, vaccination in the presence of maternal antibody reduced mortality 2- to 3-fold compared with MV in the presence of no measles ...

Compartment models for vaccine effectiveness and non-specific effects for Tuberculosis
Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2019 In this paper, we attempt to set a framework of conditions for model-specific predictions of newly arising TB epidemics by e.g. immigration of infected persons from high prevalence countries. In addition, we address the aspect of trained immunity in our model.
