Dynamic Vaccination Game in a Heterogeneous Mixing Population [PDF]

, 2019
Opposition to vaccination has long been a non-negligible public health phenomenon resulted from people's varied perceptions toward vaccination (e.g., vaccine-phobia). This paper investigates the voluntary vaccination behavior of a heterogeneous population during an epidemic outbreak, where each individual makes its own vaccination decision to minimize ...

Variation at the capsule locus, cps, of mistyped and non-typable Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates [PDF]

, 2012
The capsule polysaccharide locus (cps) is the site of the capsule biosynthesis gene cluster in encapsulated Streptococcus pneumoniae. A set of pneumococcal samples and non-pneumococcal streptococci from Denmark, the Gambia, the Netherlands, Thailand, the

Relating Pneumococcal Carriage Among Children to Disease Rates Among Adults Before and After the Introduction of Conjugate Vaccines.

American Journal of Epidemiology, 2016
The use of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) in children has a strong indirect effect on disease rates in adults. When children are vaccinated with PCVs, other serotypes that are not targeted by the vaccine can increase in frequency (serotype ...

Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines in Taiwan: optimizing health gains in children and older adults through constrained optimization modeling

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2022
Objectives: Budgetary constraints force healthcare authorities to set priorities for optimal vaccine interventions. A comprehensive decision-making tool would help inform the best combination and sequence of introduction of vaccines within constrained ...

Additive preventive effect of influenza and pneumococcal vaccines in the elderly

Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2013
Elderly people are at increased risk of influenza and pneumococcal diseases. Influenza increases clinical pneumococcal disease incidence. Pneumococcal vaccination could therefore be a supplement to influenza vaccination.

Postneonatal Cerebral Palsy in Europe: Prevalence and Clinical Characteristics According to Contributory Events: An SCPE Study

Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Postneonatal cerebral palsy (PNCP) is rare and requires large databases to be studied over time. Objectives To study the time trend of prevalence of PNCP overall and by cause, and to describe the clinical characteristics of children with PNCP according to cause and compared with children with pre/peri/neonatal CP (PPNCP).

Impairment of Innate Immunity and Depletion of Vaccine‐Induced Memory B and T Cells in the Absence of the Spleen

American Journal of Hematology, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 770-784, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Splenectomy or congenital asplenia is associated with severe reduction of memory B cells and increased risk of fulminant sepsis by encapsulated bacteria. Current guidelines recommend vaccinations against these pathogens before or after splenectomy, but the longevity of immunity acquired after splenectomy has not been determined.

Influence of Pneumococcal Vaccines and Respiratory Syncytial Virus on Alveolar Pneumonia, Israel

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013
Postlicensure surveillance of pneumonia incidence can be used to estimate whether pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) affect incidence. We used Poisson regression models that control for baseline seasonality to determine the impact of PCVs and the ...
