Effect of national immunisation campaigns with oral polio vaccine on all-cause mortality in children in rural northern Ghana: 20 years of demographic surveillance cohort dataResearch in context

EClinicalMedicine, 2023
Summary: Background: Studies from Guinea-Bissau and Bangladesh have shown that campaigns with oral polio vaccine (C-OPV) may be associated with 25–31% lower child mortality. Between 1996 and 2015, Ghana had 50 national C-OPVs and numerous campaigns with

Non-specific effects of veterinary vaccines: a systematic review

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.

Non-specific effects of BCG vaccine on viral infections [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2019
Some strains of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine not only confer protection against disseminated forms of tuberculosis, but also reduce all-cause mortality by the induction of protection against infections with non-related pathogens.We review evidence for non-specific protection induced by BCG vaccination against viral infections, discuss ...

An empirical approach towards the efficient and optimal production of influenza-neutralizing ovine polyclonal antibodies demonstrates that the novel adjuvant CoVaccine HT(TM) is functionally superior to Freund's adjuvant [PDF]

, 2013
Passive immunotherapies utilising polyclonal antibodies could have a valuable role in preventing and treating infectious diseases such as influenza, particularly in pandemic situations but also in immunocompromised populations such as the elderly, the ...

Is early measles vaccination associated with stronger survival benefits than later measles vaccination?

BMC Public Health, 2018
Background Measles vaccine (MV) may protect against non-measles mortality. We tested whether survival depended on age of measles vaccination. Methods Bandim Health Project follows children under 5 years of age through a Health and Demographic ...

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 ...
