Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...

Modelling Impact of Different Varicella Immunisation Strategies Upon Introduction in the Swedish National Programme

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Countries with varicella immunisation programmes have seen major reductions in disease burden. While two‐dose schedules are now universally adopted, dosing ages vary, and some countries initially include catch‐up vaccination of older children to speed impact. This modelling study assessed three two‐dose schedules in the Swedish setting (1)

Rationale for Recommending Varicella Vaccination Into the Swedish National Immunisation Programme

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Under Swedish law, a vaccination may be included in the National Immunisation Programme (NIP) if it effectively prevents transmission in the population, is cost‐effective and aligns with ethical and humanitarian principles. The Public Health Agency of Sweden (PHAS) evaluated these criteria for introducing varicella vaccination. Methods The
