In many countries, infant vaccination with acellular pertussis (aP) vaccines has replaced use of more reactogenic whole-cell pertussis (wP) vaccines. Based on immunological and epidemiological evidence, we hypothesised that substituting the first aP dose in the routine vaccination schedule with wP vaccine might protect against IgE-mediated food allergy. We aimed to compare reactogenicity, immunogenicity, and IgE-mediated responses of a mixed wP/aP primary schedule versus the standard aP-only schedule.

Through co-design with community members, we hope to better understand the strengths and effectiveness of community-driven health promotion resources.
The study aims to determine whether an RSV vaccine given to pregnant women during the third trimester can protect newborn babies from RSV infections.
The PAEDS Study monitors childhood conditions of public health importance that are difficult to effectively capture through other surveillance mechanisms.
The aim of the study is the early identification of problems with the current flu vaccines, and providing parents and professionals with up to date information.
The main objectives were to evaluate effectiveness of the annual flu vaccine in young children, and the burden of flu on young children and their families.
