prior influenza vaccine was associated with improved survival.4 The clinical benefit of influenza vaccination, indications and contraindications, and risk groups who are likely to benefit most are well documente
mesogenic LaSota strain has also been used as a live vaccine. The oral or aerosol live NDV immunisation serves to bypass maternal immunity, which is low at these sites. Immunisation against NDV is also offered as killed polyvalent vaccines in combination withIBV,IBDVand/or TRTV (see below for...
Furthermore, given the large influx of migrant workers coming from the wider MENA region, South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the Philippines, it is also important to consider the state of vaccine hesitancy in those regions, given that ultimately, those cultural patterns will also be partly inc...
practitioners who were confident that the vaccine is safe were either more informed about the evi- dence regarding safety of the vaccine in pregnancy, or were more willing to trust that the vaccine is safe and beneficial based on the fact that it is recommended under the ...
Vaxtracker is a web based survey for active post marketing surveillance of Adverse Events Following Immunisation. It is designed to efficiently monitor vaccine safety of new vaccines by early signal detection of serious adverse events. The Vaxtracker system automates contact with the parents or carers...
Vaccines and Vaccine Delivery Systems: Experience with HSV, Influenza and Mucosal Routes of ImmunisationThe primary route of entry into the body for many viruses, including herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) and the influenza virus, is via mucosal surfaces. It follows that, depending on the ...

Influenza virus vaccine: Severe post-immunisation reaction and toxic goitre: case reportThe article discusses problems and opportunities in prescriptive decision science. It presents several fundamental problems that confront attempts to develop a prescriptive science of decision and inference. It describes...
The effectiveness of an influenza vaccine has been shown to correlate with serum titres of hemagglutination inhibition (HI) antibodies to the viral strain, and several studies have found that older adults exhibit lower HI titres after influenza immunisation than do younger adults (Murasko, 2002, ...
More recently, randomised clinical trials of influenza vaccine have shown the benefit of immunisation in reducing recurrent cardiovascular events, especially in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Despite this overwhelming benefit, its uptake in India is very low. This could be due to a lack of ...
