Association between maternal influenza vaccination and neurodevelopmental disorders in childhood: a longitudinal, population-based linked cohort study

To assess the association between in utero exposure to seasonal inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV) and the risk of a diagnosis of a neurodevelopmental disorder in early childhood.

Vaccination

Vaccination is the injection of an inactivated bacteria or virus into the body. This simulated infection allows an individual's immune system to develop an adaptive immunity for protection against that type of illness. When a sufficiently large percentage of a population has been vaccinated, this results in herd immunity.

Modelling the seasonality of respiratory syncytial virus in young children

The transmission dynamics of RSV infection among young children are still poorly understood and mathematical modelling can be used to better understand...

Trivalent influenza vaccine and febrile adverse events in australia, 2010: Clinical features and potential mechanisms

Increased numbers of children presenting with febrile adverse events following trivalent influenza vaccine (TIV) were noted in Australia in 2010.

Sexual dimorphism in lung function responses to acute influenza A infection

Males are generally more susceptible to respiratory infections; however, there are few data on the physiological responses to such infections in males and...

Comparison of text-messaging to voice telephone interviews for active surveillance of adverse events following immunisation.

This study was designed to compare data collected via SMS and telephone for the purposes of monitoring vaccine safety.

Antibody responses against influenza A decline with successive years of annual influenza vaccination

Influenza vaccine effectiveness and immunogenicity can be compromised with repeated vaccination. We assessed immunological markers in a cohort of healthcare workers (HCW) from six public hospitals around Australia during 2020-2021.
