Vaccine Adjuvants in the Immunocompromised Host: Science, Safety, and Efficacy
ABSTRACT Vaccine adjuvants are essential for enhancing immune responses to vaccines, particularly in immunocompromised populations who typically demonstrate suboptimal responses to standard vaccination. This narrative review evaluates the safety and efficacy of approved and candidate adjuvants in immunocompromised hosts, with emphasis on solid organ ...

Phase I, randomized, observer-blind, placebo-controlled studies to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of an investigational non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) protein vaccine in adults [PDF]
Background: Non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is a major cause of various respiratory diseases. The development of an effective vaccine against NTHi mandates new approaches beyond conjugated vaccines as this opportunistic bacterium is non ...
