Parental Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine scars decrease infant mortality in the first six weeks of life: A retrospective cohort study

open access: yesEClinicalMedicine, 2021
Background: Live attenuated vaccines have been observed to have particularly beneficial effects for child survival when given in the presence of maternally transferred immunity (priming).

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

open access: yesBMC 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 ...

Beneficial non-specific effects of live vaccines against COVID-19 and other unrelated infections

open access: yesLancet. Infectious Diseases (Print), 2022
Live attenuated vaccines could have beneficial, non-specific effects of protecting against vaccine-unrelated infections, such as BCG protecting against respiratory infection.

Non-specific “non-effects” of vaccination [PDF]

open access: yesBMJ, 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 ...

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

open access: yesClinical 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 ...

Measles Vaccination Supports Millennium Development Goal 4: Increasing Coverage and Increasing Child Survival in Northern Ghana, 1996–2012

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Heterologous vaccine interventions: boosting immunity against future pandemics

open access: yesMolecular 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.

Paratuberculosis vaccination specific and non-specific effects on cattle lifespan

open access: yesVaccine, 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 ...

Sex-differential heterologous (non-specific) effects of vaccines: an emerging public health issue that needs to be understood and exploited

open access: yesExpert Review of Vaccines, 2017
Introduction: Vaccines have heterologous effects on the immune system, leading to altered susceptibility to a range of pathogens, and possibly allergy and autoimmunity. Effects are often sex-differential.
