The textbook view of vaccination is that it functions to induce immune memory of the specific pathogen components of the vaccine, leading to a quantitatively and qualitatively better response if the host is exposed to infection with the same pathogen
Protection may be further improved by integrating these approaches, namely vaccinating the neonate under the cover of vertically transferred maternal immunity
Immunity is distinct in early life and greater precision is required in our understanding of mechanisms of early life protection to inform development of new pediatric vaccines
A significant reduction in severe influenza was observed in Australian children, possibly contributed to by improved vaccine coverage and high vaccine effectiveness
Indigenous iTaukei had greater frequency and intensity of contact compared with Fijians of Indian Descent
Our review highlights similarities and differences in the application of the test-negative design that deserve further examination
Based on descriptive analyses of this small study, S. aureus 3-antigen vaccine vaccination did not impact S. aureus acquisition or carriage
We outline the processes involved in conducting a Proof of Concept data linkage project including the implementation of national data integration principles
Automated SMS-based reporting can facilitate sustainable, real-time, monitoring of adverse reactions and early identification of potential vaccine safety issues
The impact of the 23vPPV booster on IPD incidence among Australian Indigenous children is unclear from regional reports of small case numbers.
