Patient education about flu shot during a non-life threatening emergency department visit increases vaccination rates, especially in patients without regular primary care.
Reportlinker announces the release of the report "A White Paper To Understand The Market Structure Of Pediatric Pertussis Hexavalent and Combination Vaccines".
Researchers have identified a new complex-carbohydrate biomolecule, or glycan, that plays a key role in the nasal colonization of the Bordetella bacteria responsible for whooping cough. The discovery could make it possible to create a new drug or vaccine that interferes with the glycan to greatly reduce or even stop ongoing Bordetella transmission.
A vaccine against the bacterium that causes melioidosis was highly protective against the disease, which is endemic in many tropical areas, causing approximately 165,000 cases with 89,000 fatalities around the world each year. It is so dangerous that it is categorized as a Tier 1 Select Agent of bioterrorism.
Earlier this week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, issued an advisory to inform clinicians and public health officials of an increase in global and U.S. measles cases.
Researchers at the Institute of Human Virology (IHV) at the University of Maryland School of Medicine published a new study in the Journal of Infectious Diseases investigating the short-lived antibody response following SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID.
Text nudges encouraging people to get the COVID-19 vaccine, which had proven effective in prior real-world field tests, are also effective at prompting people to get a booster. The key in both cases is to include in the text a sense of ownership in the dose awaiting them.
Vaccine misinformation has gone mainstream—a post-pandemic reality that is putting more children at risk of exposure to potentially serious vaccine-preventable diseases like measles.
“We are hoping to use this competition not just as a way to examine the capacity of people to predict vaccination outcomes, but also as a way to address an important public health question,” says Peters.
Measles cases are being reported in different parts of the United States. David Nguyen, MD, a RUSH infectious disease physician who treats adults and children, answers the most common questions about the measles virus.
Calder Biosciences, Inc., a next-generation vaccine company, has been published in a Nature Communications article that debuts and validates the application of Calder's '3D Vaxlock' platform technology.
Multiple schools made significant discoveries and provided much-needed care to New Jersey’s disparate communities.
Four years ago, a brand new virus turned the world upside down. Today, we know more and can do more about the coronavirus called SARS-CoV2, and the disease called COVID-19, than ever before. A summary of the latest knowledge and guidance.
A recently published study that shows lactating mothers who get the COVID-19 booster pass along the antibodies to their children via their breast milk – and potentially protect babies too young to receive the vaccine.
