Vaccination en général et vaccination anti-COVID
2021
This book presents a societal research analysis of an exploratory study of the general public concerning the obstacles to vaccination. It highlights the fact that sociological anchors would be determinant in the decision making regarding vaccination. This study more broadly invites us to consider modern and post-modern anchors as possible determinants in the positions of individuals in relation to various subjects of science-society.
Efficacy of oral reimmunisation after immersion vaccination against Vibrio vulnificus in farmed European eels
2004
Abstract Vulnivaccine, a licensed vaccine against Vibrio vulnificus , protects eels against vibriosis after vaccination by triple prolonged immersion at glass eel stage. Protection lasts for at least 6 months, but later, protection decreases, and eels can suffer stress-related vibriosis. The main objective of this work was to design an oral vaccine that can be used for reimmunisation at any developmental eel stage. With this aim, the efficacy of Vulnivaccine mixed with food as an oral booster was tested in an eel farm. The protection and the immune response (innate and acquired) in serum, mucus (from skin and intestine) and bile were evaluated in reimmunised and control animals (non-reimmun…
Moralna odpowiedzialność rodziców za szczepienie dzieci - czynniki modyfikujące w realiach polskich
2020
Kontekst badań: Szczepienia ochronne dzieci są dobrodziejstwem dla zdrowia indywidualnych osób i epidemicznej ochrony społeczeństwa. Obserwowane narastające lawinowo zjawisko uchylania się przez rodziców od szczepień dzieci wymaga pogłębionych badań pod kątem ich odpowiedzialności moralnej za zaniechanie działania. Cel badań: zweryfikowanie hipotezy badawcze, która brzmiała: Odpowiednio silny wpływ czynnika modyfikującego postawy rodziców wobec szczepień ochronnych dzieci może zmniejszyć odpowiedzialność moralną rodziców za niepodjęcie obowiązku szczepiennego. Metoda badawcza: w badaniach zastosowano desk research, a więc analizę danych zastanych, z uwzględnieniem dostępnych dokumentów, bad…
Adaptation and Preliminary Validation of the Fear of Coronavirus Vaccination Scale in the Prospective Study among a Representative Sample of Polish, …
2022
Although concerns about harm and side effects are among the most important factors determining vaccine hesitancy, research on the fear of vaccination is sparse. The purpose of this study is a validation the Fear of Coronavirus Vaccination Scale (FoCVVS), adapted from the Fear of COVID-19 Scale. A representative sample of 1723 young adults aged 20–40 from Poland, Israel, Slovenia, and Germany participated during two time-points of the third COVID-19 pandemic wave. The online survey included demographic variables and several well-being dimensions, including gender, vaccination status, fear of coronavirus (FoCV-19S), physical health (GSRH), life satisfaction (SWLS), and perceived stress (PSS-1…
Anaphylaxie nach gleichzeitiger Impfung gegen Masern, Mumps, Röteln und Frühsommer-Meningoenzephalitis aufgrund einer Gelatineallergie
2006
Most allergic reactions after vaccination occur in patients sensitive to egg protein. Therefore this subject is well investigated, and the majority of common vaccines today contain only traces of egg protein. In contrast, there is little knowledge of hypersensitivities to other substances frequently contained in vaccines, e. g. antibiotics, phenol, gelatin and different preservatives. Here we report the case of a boy who had an anaphylactic reaction after being vaccinated against measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), and tick-born encephalitis (TBE) simultaneously. Different tests finally revealed a hypersensitivity to gelatin. This should be kept in mind especially during emergency care, since ge…
Combination vaccines containing DTPa–Hib: impact of IPV and coadministration of CRM197 conjugates
2008
Vaccination with diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis (DTPa)-Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) combinations generally elicits anti-polyribosyl-ribitol-phosphate (PRP) antibody concentrations of more than 0.15 microg/ml, a criterion that is linked to the protection of infants against Hib disease. In the UK, vaccination with DTPa3-Hib elicited atypically low anti-PRP antibody levels and was associated with breakthrough Hib cases. While the absence of a toddler booster is considered to be a key factor explaining the lowered control of Hib disease, we propose that the coadministration of serogroup C Neisseria meningitidis conjugate vaccine (MenC)-CRM197, which coincided with the introductio…
Imūnā atbildes reakcija uz vakcināciju pret vīrushepatītu B hemodialīzes pacientiem
2018
Pamatojums: Hemodialīzes (HD) pacientiem ir paaugstināts ar asinīm pārnesamām infekciju risks, piemēram, vīrushepatīta B infekcija (HBV). Pacientiem ar terminālu nieru mazspēju bieži ir imūnsistēmas nomākums, kas rezultējās ar nepietiekamu imūnās atbildes reakciju pret HBV vakcināciju. Adekvāta imunoloģiska atbilde it tad, ja anti-HBs-antivielu titrs >10 mSV/ml. Lai gan atbildes reakcija vispārējā populācijā ir aptuveni 95%, HD pacientiem tā ir robežās no 50-80%. Mērķis: noteikt HBV infekcijas izplatību, identificēt imūno atbildes reakciju HD pacientiem uz HBV vakcināciju un izvērtēt tās ietekmējošus klīniskus un laboratoriskus faktorus. Materiāli un metodes: Tika analizēta HBV izplatība HD…
Public health strategies adopted to manage the increase of accesses to vaccination services, as a result of the application of the law 119/2017.
2020
Background and aim of the work: In response to the alarming reduction of vaccination coverage rates, Italian Ministry of Health approved the law number 119/2017, which has extended the number of mandatory vaccinations, for school attendance, from four to ten. The present study aims to evaluate accesses to the vaccination services of the Palermo Local Health Unit (LHU) and the variation of the vaccination coverage rates for hexavalent and measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (MMRV) vaccines, after the implementation of the law 119/2017. Methods: An extent of opening hours and an involvement of other health-care professionals in the vaccination services of the Palermo LHU have been adopted t…
How Can We Improve Vaccination Response in Old People? Part I: Targeting Immunosenescence of Innate Immunity Cells
2022
Vaccination, being able to prevent millions of cases of infectious diseases around the world every year, is the most effective medical intervention ever introduced. However, immunosenescence makes vaccines less effective in providing protection to older people. Although most studies explain that this is mainly due to the immunosenescence of T and B cells, the immunosenescence of innate immunity can also be a significant contributing factor. Alterations in function, number, subset, and distribution of blood neutrophils, monocytes, and natural killer and dendritic cells are detected in aging, thus potentially reducing the efficacy of vaccines in older individuals. In this paper, we focus on t…
Influenza vaccination among healthcare workers and absenteeism from work due to influenza-like illness in a teaching hospital in Palermo
2012
<p><strong>Background</strong>: Annual flu vaccination of healthcare workers (HCWs) is recommended worldwide as the best way to prevent influenza and to avoid its transmission. However, in several European Countries, vaccination rate among HCWs is still less than 25%. The aim of this study was to determine the HCW vaccination coverage during a three year period in a large University Hospital, identifying socio demographic and occupational variables involved in the decision to accept influenza vaccination. Moreover, for the 2007-2008 season, we also assessed the effectiveness of influenza vaccination in reducing influenza-related absenteeism.</p><p><strong>…
