It is obvious that a successful COVID-19 vaccination program is needed to end the pandemic and allow a return to normal life5,6. By the end of February 2021, two COVID-19 vaccines had been approved in the U.S.:
At the moment, the Spikevax-Moderna mRNA vaccine is also authorized for this population, but very few doses have been administered in Italy so far. The COVID-19 immunization campaign for children (5–11) was supported by nationwide and local communication campaigns both on social media and in...
Background Streptococcus pneumonia is the main cause of bacterial pneumonia in children in the UK. In September 2006, a 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) was introduced into the UK childhood immunisation schedule following a successful campaign in the USA, where all cause pneumonia ...
Vaccine hesitancy – a delay in acceptance or refusal of vaccines despite availability – has the potential to threaten the successful roll-out of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines globally. In this study, we aim to understand the likely impact of vaccine hesitancy on the control of the COVID-19 pandemic....
The effect of the immunization due to the vaccine has been studied in the context of compartmental mod- els, like S EIR30. In our mathematical model, the simplest and most intuitive effect is a reduction of both the total number of infections during To validate this working ahysipnogtl...
Research into treatments for COVID-19, the development of vaccines and research into the repurposing of existing drugs to treat severe COVID-19 have been very successful, but the cost has been high [8,9,10]. Academic research grants related to COVID-19 were abundant with the total amount ...
The vaccine has already been in the market since 2022 when it was granted an EUA (emergency use authorization) under Biden. While its distribution has been tiny compared to the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, 743 cases of death and injuries following the vaccine have already been reported in the...

Despite this, immunisation has become one of the most widespread and successful of all health interventions after the provision of saf...
circumstances that could support the long-term commercial viability of vaccine manufacturing in Africa. Many consider this crucial to increasing vaccine equity, supply security and pandemic preparedness on the continent. Kroll is proud to contribute this public good to the dialogue on such an important...
Deaths due to vaccine preventable diseases cause a notable proportion of mortality worldwide. To quantify the importance of vaccination, it is necessary to estimate the burden averted through vaccination. The Vaccine Impact Modelling Consortium (VIMC) wa
