Despite years of biannual mass vaccination of cattle, foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) remains uncontrolled in Anatolian Turkey. To evaluate protection after mass vaccination we measured post-vaccination antibodies in a cohort of cattle (serotypes O, A and Asia-1). To obtain results reflecting typical field protection, participants were randomly sampled from across Central and Western Turkey after ...

Background: This study investigated the impact of vaccinated population profiles, vaccine type/interval, and number doses on adverse reactions to receiving a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) booster vaccination. Methods: A survey was conducted from January 2022 December among Osaka University Dental Hospital employees who received their third or fourth doses. The included 194 third-dose reci...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Owing to the limitations of the conventional polysaccharide vaccines, global efforts have been made to develop conjugated polysaccharide vaccines for typhoid. Duration of immune response induced by these vaccines is critical to define the efficacy and frequency of required booster dose. This study was done to determine the duration of immune response following vaccinat...

OBJECTIVES To compare the coverage for the third dose and the compliance to two hepatitis B vaccination schedules: 0,1,4 versus 0,1,6 months, in commercial sex workers (CSW) in Belgium; to compare the immunogenicity of the actually administered schedules. METHODS In seven health centres in Belgium, hepatitis B vaccination was offered free of charge to CSW. In a randomised, prospective study a...

Background: In Iran scince 1992, hepatitis B vaccination was a part of the national vaccination program. Hepatitis B vaccination is effective in the epidemiology of hepatitis B. The aim ofthis study was to evaluate the long – term persistence of immunity. Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted on children and adolescents aged between 6-18 years in Birjand, who recei...

Annual influenza vaccination is recommended, but its efficacy in dialysis population is still controversial. Here we aimed to compare the dynamic changes of immune response between various influenza vaccination protocols in hemodialysis patients. A 18-week open label, non-randomized, controlled trial was conducted during 2011-2012. The efficacy between unvaccinated, one- and two-dose regimens w...

Background: The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has complicated the management of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Objectives: This study aimed to assess efficacy different anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccines under treatments in IBD patients and identify predictive factors associated with lower serological response, including anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) dr...
