CLINICAL MUMPS VACCINE EFFICACY

American Journal of Epidemiology, 1985
From February 5 through April 23, 1982, 110 cases of mumps were reported among 357 students in a middle school in Ashtabula County, Ohio, an overall attack rate of 31%. Vaccine efficacy was calculated using a variety of case definitions, case surveillance systems, and vaccination-status ascertainment methods to evaluate their effects on the estimated ...

Measuring HIV vaccine efficacy

Statistics in Medicine, 2004
AbstractSome HIV vaccine candidates have a potential VEI (vaccine efficacy for infectiousness) type effect, which tends to reduce the viral load and may reduce infectiousness of an infected individual. In general, the efficacy of this kind of vaccine is very difficult to assess because it requires information on contacts of vaccinated infected ...

Vaccine Ingredients: Components that Influence Vaccine Efficacy

Mini-Reviews in Medicinal Chemistry, 2017
Vaccination is defined as the administration of an antigenic material in order to stimulate the immune system, leading to the development of adaptive immunity to a pathogen. Vaccines can prevent or reduce morbidity from a vast number of infections.

Estimating vaccine efficacy using animal efficacy data

European Journal of Pharmacology, 2015
Animal models are used to predict the effect of an intervention in humans. An example is the prediction of the efficacy of a vaccine when it is considered unethical or infeasible to challenge humans with the target disease to assess the effect of the vaccine on the disease in humans directly.

Secukinumab treatment and vaccination efficacy

Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, 2022
Dear Editor, Secukinumab, a monoclonal antibody against interleukin (IL)-17A, is used to treat psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. The effect of this treatment on COVID-19 vaccination is not well characterized. While IL-17 deficiency states are associated with mucocutaneous infection with Candida albicans, there is no apparent increased risk of viral ...

Vaccine Field Efficacy

American Association of Bovine Practitioners Conference Proceedings, 2007
An evidence-based approach to design and recommendation of vaccination programs requires a thorough review of the peer-reviewed veterinary literature. Criteria for inclusion in this review are: inclusion of a valid concurrent control group, blinding of evaluators of subjective outcomes, randomization of experimental treatments, appropriate statistical ...

Bayesian estimation of vaccine efficacy

Clinical Trials, 2004
Protective vaccine efficacy, VES, is measured as one minus the incidence rate ratio (IRR) or the relative risk (RR) in the vaccinated group compared with the unvaccinated group. In this paper, we systematically present Bayesian estimation of protective vaccine efficacy based on the Poisson and binomial distributions.

Efficacy of porcine parvovirus vaccines

Veterinary Record, 1986
Three inactivated porcine parvovirus vaccines were tested for efficacy in 66 susceptible gilts. The gilts were challenged with virulent virus on the 40th day of gestation. All the vaccines provided excellent protection against fetal mortality despite insignificant serological responses to one of them.

Safety and efficacy of vaccines

Dermatologic Therapy, 2009
For the past two centuries, vaccines have provided a safe and effective means of preventing a number of infectious diseases. Although the safety of some vaccines has been questioned in recent years, the currently available vaccines are more than a millionfold safer than the diseases they are designed to prevent. Vaccines, however, should always be used
