Purpose
This study was conducted to assess the immunogenicity and safety of a tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid, and acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine containing three pertussis antigens (Boostrix®, Tdap3v), currently licensed in the US for use in adolescents 10–18 years of age, in adults 19–64 years of age.Methods
2284 healthy adults, aged 19–64 years, were randomized to receive a single dose of Tdap vaccine, either Tdap3v or a five-pertussis component Tdap vaccine (Adacel®, Tdap5v) licensed for adult use in the US. Blood samples were taken before and 1 month after vaccination. Reactogenicity was assessed for 15 days after vaccination.Results
Tdap3v was comparable to Tdap5v in eliciting seroprotective levels of antibodies to diphtheria and tetanus toxoids, with >98% of subjects having post-vaccination seroprotective antibody levels (≥0.1 IU/mL) against diphtheria or tetanus toxoids. The pertussis components of Tdap3v were shown to be immunogenic in adults, with booster responses to pertussis toxoid (PT), filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA), and pertactin (PRN) observed in 77.2%, 96.9%, and 93.2%, respectively, of Tdap3v recipients, and in 47.1%, 94.0%, and 91.7%, respectively, of Tdap5v recipients. Anti-pertussis antibody GMCs in Tdap3v recipients exceeded those observed in infants following primary DTaP vaccination, in whom efficacy against pertussis disease was subsequently demonstrated. Injection site reactions (pain, redness, and swelling) and fever ≥37.5 °C (99.5 °F) were reported significantly more often (p < 0.05) by Tdap5v recipients than by Tdap3v recipients. Fatigue preventing normal daily activities was reported by a small but significantly greater percentage of Tdap3v recipients (2.5%) than Tdap5v recipients (1.2%, p < 0.05).Conclusion
In adult recipients, Tdap3v was comparable to an approved Tdap vaccine in providing seroprotection against diphtheria and tetanus, and produced immune responses to pertussis antigens consistent with protection against disease. The overall safety profile of Tdap3v was generally comparable to that of Tdap5v [NCT #106316]. 相似文献2.

Adoption of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination in the US has been slow. In 2011, HPV vaccination of boys was recommended by CDC for routine use at ages 11–12. We conducted and evaluated a social marketing intervention with parents and providers to stimulate HPV vaccination among preteen boys.Methods
We targeted parents and providers of 9–13 year old boys in a 13 county NC region. The 3-month intervention included distribution of HPV vaccination posters and brochures to all county health departments plus 194 enrolled providers; two radio PSAs; and an online CME training. A Cox proportional hazards model was fit using NC immunization registry data to examine whether vaccination rates in 9–13 year old boys increased during the intervention period in targeted counties compared to control counties (n = 15) with similar demographics. To compare with other adolescent vaccines, similar models were fit for HPV vaccination in girls and meningococcal and Tdap vaccination of boys in the same age range. Moderating effects of age, race, and Vaccines for Children (VFC) eligibility on the intervention were considered.Results
The Cox model showed an intervention effect (β = 0.29, HR = 1.34, p = .0024), indicating that during the intervention the probability of vaccination increased by 34% in the intervention counties relative to the control counties. Comparisons with HPV vaccination in girls and Tdap and meningococcal vaccination in boys suggest a unique boost for HPV vaccination in boys during the intervention. Model covariates of age, race and VFC eligibility were all significantly associated with vaccination rates (p < .0001 for all). HPV vaccination rates were highest in the 11–12 year old boys. Overall, three of every four clinic visits for Tdap and meningococcal vaccines for preteen boys were missed opportunities to administer HPV vaccination simultaneously.Conclusions
Social marketing techniques can encourage parents and health care providers to vaccinate preteen boys against HPV. 相似文献3.
Background
Health-care personnel (HCP) are at risk for exposure to and possible transmission of vaccine-preventable diseases. Receiving recommended vaccines is an essential prevention practice for HCP to protect themselves and their patients. The tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap) was recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) for HCP in 2006 for protection against pertussis. We assessed the recent compliance of U.S. HCP in receiving Tdap vaccination.Methods
To estimate Tdap vaccination coverage among HCP, we analyzed data from the 2011 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). Multivariable logistic regression and predictive marginal models were performed to identify factors independently associated with vaccination among HCP.Results
Overall, Tdap vaccination coverage was 26.9% among HCP aged 18–64 years (95% confidence interval (CI) = 24.3%, 29.7%), which was significantly higher compared with non-HCP among the same age group (11.1%; 10.5–11.8%). Overall, vaccination coverage was significantly higher among physicians (41.5%) compared with nurses (36.5%) and other types of HCP (range 11.7–29.9%). Vaccination coverage was significantly higher among HCP aged 18–49 years compared with those 50–64 years (30.0% vs. 19.2%, respectively). Characteristics independently associated with an increased likelihood of Tdap vaccination among HCP were: younger age, higher education, living in the western United States, being hospitalized within past year, having a place for routine health care in clinic or health center, and receipt of influenza vaccination in the previous year. Marital status of widowed, divorced, or separated was independently associated with a decreased likelihood of Tdap vaccination among HCP.Conclusions
By 2011, Tdap vaccination coverage was only 26.9% among HCP. Vaccination coverage varied widely by types of HCP and demographic characteristics. Emphasizing the benefits of HCP vaccination for staff and patients, providing vaccinations in the workplace and other non-traditional settings, and providing Tdap at no charge may help increase Tdap vaccination among HCP in all health-care settings. 相似文献4.

Background
Roughly half of U.S. adults do not receive recommended booster vaccinations, but protective antibody levels are rarely measured in adults. Demographic factors, vaccination history, and responses to other vaccinations could help identify at-risk individuals. We sought to characterize rates of seroconversion and determine associations of humoral responses to multiple vaccinations in healthy adults.Methods
Humoral responses toward measles, mumps, tetanus toxoid, pertussis, hepatitis B surface antigen, and anthrax protective antigen were measured by ELISA in post-immunization samples from 1465 healthy U.S. military members. We examined the effects of demographic and clinical factors on immunization responses, as well as assessed correlations between vaccination responses.Results
Subsets of boosted adults did not have seroprotective levels of antibodies toward measles (10.4%), mumps (9.4%), pertussis (4.7%), hepatitis B (8.6%) or protective antigen (14.4%) detected. Half-lives of antibody responses were generally long (>30 years). Measles and mumps antibody levels were correlated (r = 0.31, p < 0.001), but not associated with select demographic features or vaccination history. Measles and mumps antibody levels also correlated with tetanus antibody response (r = 0.11, p < 0.001).Conclusions
Vaccination responses are predominantly robust and vaccine specific. However, a small but significant portion of the vaccinated adult population may not have quantitative seroprotective antibody to common vaccine-preventable infections. 相似文献5.

Objectives
Immunization of healthcare workers (HCWs) is a major issue for infection control in healthcare facilities. The aim of this study was to evaluate knowledge regarding occupational vaccinations, HBV, varicella and influenza vaccination rates and attitudes towards influenza vaccine among HCWs.Design and setting
A cross-sectional survey was conducted in two wards (Medicine and Paediatrics) of a 1182-bed teaching hospital in Paris, France.Methods
A standardized, anonymous, self-administered questionnaire was used.Results
Of 580 HCWs, 395 (68%) completed the questionnaire. Knowledge about the occupational vaccinations of HCWs was low. HBV (69%), tuberculosis (54%) and influenza (52%) were the most cited vaccinations. Paediatric staff was more aware of influenza and pertussis immunizations (p < .05). HBV vaccination rate was 93%, among whom 65% were aware of their immune status. Influenza vaccination rate for 2006–2007 was 30% overall, ranging from 50% among physicians to 20% among paramedical staff (p < .05). Physicians based their refusal on doubts about vaccine efficacy, although paramedics feared side effects. Influenza vaccination was associated with knowledge of vaccine recommendations [OR = 1.75, 95% CI: 1.13–2.57] and contact with patients [OR = 3.05, 95% CI: 1.50–5.91].Conclusions
Knowledge of recommended occupational vaccinations is insufficient in HCWs, except for HBV and influenza. Although the HBV vaccine coverage of HCWs is satisfactory, a large proportion of them is unaware of immune status. Influenza vaccine coverage remains low, especially among paramedical staff because of fear of side effects. As vaccine coverage is associated with knowledge, educational campaigns should be strengthened to increase the adhesion of HCWs to vaccinations. 相似文献6.
Background
Germany introduced routine varicella (V) vaccination in 2004. Due to a slightly increased risk of febrile convulsions after first-dose application of combined measles–mumps–rubella–varicella (MMRV) vaccine separate first-dose vaccinations with MMR and monovalent V vaccine were recommended in September 2011.Methods
We compared V and MMR vaccinations in paediatric practices from two surveillance regions (Munich and Würzburg) one year before and after the change in the recommendation.Results
A total of 1405/326 monthly reports were provided by a monthly average of 79/14 practices participating in Munich/Würzburg. V first-dose vaccinations (monovalent V or MMRV vaccine) declined by 12% in Munich (from 10.1 to 8.9 vaccinations per month and practice; p < 0.005) and by 4% in Würzburg (from 9.9 to 9.5; p = 0.620), respectively. First-dose vaccinations for MMR (MMR or MMRV vaccine) did not change significantly in both regions.Conclusion
Acceptance of V vaccination depends in part on the use of combination vaccine. 相似文献7.

Background
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend Tdap immunization during pregnancy, preferably at 27–36 weeks.Aim
To ascertain whether there is a preferential period of maternal Tdap immunization during pregnancy that provides the highest concentration of pertussis-specific antibodies to the newborn.Methods
This prospective study measured pertussis-specific antibodies in paired maternal-cord sera of women immunized with Tdap after the 20th week of their pregnancy (n = 61).Results
The geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) of Immunoglobulin G (IgG) to pertussis toxin (PT) were higher in the newborns’ cord sera when women were immunized at 27–30+6 weeks (n = 21) compared with 31–36 weeks (n = 30) and >36 weeks (n = 7), 46.04 international units/milliliter (IU/mL) (95% CI, 24.29–87.30) vs. 8.69 IU/mL (95% CI, 3.66–20.63) and 21.12 IU/mL (95% CI, 7.93–56.22), p < 0.02, respectively. The umbilical cord GMCs of IgG to filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) were higher in the newborns’ cord sera when women were immunized at 27–30+6 weeks compared with 31–36 weeks and >36 weeks, 225.86 IU/mL (95% CI, 182.34–279.76) vs. 178.31 IU/mL (95% CI, 134.59–237.03) and 138.03 IU/mL (95% CI, 97.61–195.16), p < 0.02, respectively.Conclusions
Immunization of pregnant women with Tdap between 27–30+6 weeks was associated with the highest umbilical cord GMCs of IgG to PT and FHA compared with immunization beyond 31 weeks gestation. Further research should be conducted to reaffirm these finding in order to promote an optimal pertussis controlling policy. 相似文献8.
Background
Pertussis can cause significant morbidity in elderly patients, who can also transmit this disease to infants and young children. There is little data available on the use of acellular pertussis vaccines in recipients ≥65 years of age.Methods
Two studies examined the safety and immunogenicity of tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid, and acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine (Boostrix®) in healthy ≥65 year olds. In Study A subjects received single doses of Tdap and seasonal influenza vaccine either co-administered or given one month apart. In Study B subjects received either Tdap or tetanus-diphtheria (Td) vaccine. Antibodies were measured before and one month after vaccination. Reactogenicity and safety were actively assessed using diary cards.Results
A total of 1104 subjects 65 years of age and older received a Tdap vaccination in the two studies. In study A, no differences in immune responses to Tdap or influenza vaccine were observed between co-administered or sequentially administered vaccines. In study B, Tdap was non-inferior to Td with respect to diphtheria and tetanus seroprotection, and anti-pertussis GMCs were non-inferior to those observed in infants following a 3-dose diphtheria, tetanus and acellular pertussis (DTaP) primary vaccination series, in whom efficacy against pertussis was demonstrated. Reports of adverse events were similar between Tdap and Td groups.Conclusions
Tdap was found to be immunogenic in subjects ≥65 years, with a safety profile comparable to US-licensed Td vaccine. Tdap and influenza vaccine may be co-administered without compromise of either the reactogenicity or immunogenicity profiles of the two vaccines. 相似文献9.

Purpose
The success of national immunization programs depends on the public's confidence in vaccines. We sought to develop a scale for measuring confidence about adolescent vaccination in diverse populations of parents.Methods
Data came from 9623 parents who completed the 2010 National Immunization Survey-Teen, an annual, population-based telephone survey. Parents reported on a 13- to 17-year-old child in their households. We used exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis to identify latent constructs underlying parents’ responses to 8 vaccination belief survey items (response scale 0–10) conceptualized using the Health Belief Model. We assessed the scale's psychometric properties overall and across demographic subgroups.Results
Parents’ confidence about adolescent vaccination was generally high. Analyses provided support for three factors assessing benefits of vaccination (mean = 8.5), harms of vaccination (mean = 3.3), and trust in healthcare providers (mean = 9.0). The model showed good fit both overall (comparative fit index = 0.97) and across demographic subgroups, although internal consistency was variable for the three factors. We found lower confidence among several potentially vulnerable subpopulations, including mothers with lower levels of education and parents whose children were of Hispanic ethnicity (both p < 0.05).Conclusions
Our brief, three-factor scale offers an efficient way to measure confidence in adolescent vaccination across demographic subgroups. Given evidence of lower confidence by educational attainment and race/ethnicity, program planners should consider factors such as health literacy and cultural competence when designing interventions to promote adolescent vaccination to ensure these programs are fully accessible. 相似文献10.

Background
Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends vaccination of pregnant women with tetanus–diphtheria–acellular pertussis (Tdap).Aim
To measure pertussis specific antibodies, total protein and their ratio in breast milk following gestational Tdap vaccination.Methods
Women who received Tdap after the 20th week of pregnancy were recruited and unvaccinated women served as controls. Breast milk total protein, immunoglobulin A (IgA) to pertussis toxin (PT), filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) to PT, FHA and pertactin (PRN) were measured. To overcome the dilution that occurs in the transition from colostrum to mature breast milk, we calculated pertussis specific antibody to total protein ratio.Results
Pertussis specific IgA was the predominant pertussis immunoglobulin in the colostrum of Tdap vaccinated women with the geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) of IgA to FHA higher than for IgA to PT, 24.12 ELISA units/milliliter (EU/mL) vs. 8.18 EU/mL, respectively, p < 0.004. There were differences between the vaccinated women and controls in the GMCs of IgA to FHA and IgG to PRN in the colostrum, 24.12 EU/mL vs. 6.52 EU/mL, p = 0.01 and 2.46 EU/mL vs. <0.6 EU/mL, p = 0.03, respectively. The GMCs of total protein showed significant decline over 8 weeks in the vaccinated women and controls, p < 0.004. Among vaccinated women, there was significant decline in the GMCs of IgA to PT and FHA over 8 weeks, p < 0.001. The geometric mean ratio of IgA to FHA to total protein also declined significantly over 8 weeks in the vaccinated women, p < 0.01, demonstrating a true decrease, however, pertussis IgA was measurable at 8 weeks.Conclusions
Select colostrum pertussis antibody levels were significantly higher among women vaccinated with Tdap during pregnancy compared with unvaccinated women. Among vaccinated women, maximal levels of pertussis specific IgA were in the colostrum but still detected at 8 weeks. Lactation may augment infant's protection against pertussis. 相似文献11.
Objectives
We predict the impact of paid leave in increasing influenza vaccinations for employees, thus decreasing workdays lost and healthcare visits resulting from infection.Methods
Nationally representative data from the 2006–2010 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey were used. We examined working adults aged 18 and above (N = 51,471). Logistic regression measured the association of paid leave with flu vaccination. We predicted the impact on labor and healthcare markets if universal paid leave were provided.Results
The proportion of workers receiving vaccination annually was higher for those with paid leave versus without paid leave (34.0% vs. 21.0%, P < 0.001). Adjusted odds of having a vaccination increased with paid leave vs. without paid leave (OR = 1.42, CI: 1.31–1.53). Universal paid leave is predicted to increase vaccinations by 1.6 million, resulting in 63.8 thousand fewer absences from work and 18.2 thousand fewer healthcare visits for the flu annually.Conclusions
Our study suggests that employees without paid leave are significantly less likely to have had a flu vaccination. Expanding paid leave could substantially increase flu vaccination, resulting in fewer workdays lost to influenza and savings in healthcare costs. 相似文献12.
Objective
This study identifies factors that influence repeated influenza vaccination among people aged 65 years and older in Taiwan.Methods
Data of this retrospective cohort study were drawn from the 2005 National Health Interview Survey and the 2005–2007 National Health Insurance claims data; a sample of 1384 older people was analyzed. The pattern of repeated influenza vaccination was divided into 3 groups: unvaccinated all 3 years, vaccinated 1–2 times over 3 years, and vaccinated all 3 years. Multinomial logistic regression analyses were performed.Results
Only 20.6% of older people were vaccinated all 3 years. Those 70–74 years of age (odds ratio [OR] = 1.81), living in rural areas (OR = 2.47), having one (OR = 2.07) or more (OR = 2.41) chronic conditions, frequent outpatient visits (OR = 1.48), and undergoing preventive health examinations (OR = 2.22) were more likely to have repeated vaccinations. However, those with difficulties performing one or more activities of daily living (ADL difficulty) (OR = 0.41) and seeking care from alternative medicine (OR = 0.48) were less likely to undergo regular vaccinations.Conclusion
The repeated influenza vaccination rates in our Taiwan sample were far from optimal. Factors identified in this analysis may help to improving influenza vaccination programs. 相似文献13.

Background
Studies from Africa have suggested marked non-specific effects (NSEs) of routine vaccinations with effects on child survival. There have been few studies from Asia. We re-analyzed a study from Maharashtra, India, which had collected information on vaccinations during infancy and survival until 5 years of age.Design
4138 children born between 1987 and 1989 were visited at home every three months to collect information on nutritional status and vaccinations. Since nutritional status was a determinant of time to vaccinations, we adjusted for nutritional status in the analyzes of the association between vaccinations and mortality.Setting
45 contiguous villages in Shirur Administrative Block in Pune District.Main outcome measures
Mortality rate ratios (MRR) for different vaccination status groups.Results
The study area has male preferential treatment, but the female–male mortality ratio varied between age groups with different pre-dominant vaccines; it was high in the age group in which diphtheria–tetanus–pertussis (DTP) vaccine predominates and low in the age group in which measles vaccine (MV) is given. Children who followed the WHO recommended schedule of first BCG and then DTP vaccination were vaccinated earlier than other children (p < 0.01). Two-thirds of the children had received BCG and DTP out-of-sequence, i.e. BCG and DTP simultaneously or BCG after DTP. Children who received BCG and DTP simultaneously or BCG as most recent vaccination had significantly lower mortality than children having DTP as the most recent vaccination, the mortality rate ratio being 0.15 (0.03–0.70).Conclusions
BCG out-of-sequence may be associated with lower mortality than DTP as the most recent vaccination. Given the public health implications, this possibility should be tested in randomized trials. Excess female mortality may also be related to vaccination policy. 相似文献14.

Background
The compliance with recommendations for Pertussis vaccination was assessed in the Lyon population through vaccination coverage (VC).Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted in collaboration with 10 private biological analysis laboratories between October 2010 and March 2012, on 1930 adults (>19 years of age) from the Lyon area. Proof of vaccination (PV) was requested to prove the current vaccination status.Results
A percentage of 30.3% (585/1930) of surveyed individuals provided a PV. A positive vaccination status was confirmed in 10.76% [CI 95% 8.45–13.48] (63/585) and didn’t vary in relation to gender (P = 0.57), age (P = 0.06), or level of schooling (P = 0.41). Coverage vaccination was not updated in parents with childbearing project (84.2% (64/76) [CI 95% 74.7–91.2]) or people in contact with children less than 6 years of age (83.6% (87/104) [CI 95% 75.6–89.8]). Pertussis vaccination wasn’t confirmed in 80.0% (124/155) of those who thought being vaccine up to date.Conclusions
The Lyon population poorly complied with the cocooning strategy implemented in 2004. The pertussis vaccine coverage confirmed by a PV proved the inadequate rate of vaccination compared to objectives. It is mandatory to strengthen the vaccinal policy for this vaccine booster. 相似文献15.

Introduction
Pertussis (whooping cough) is a toxic bacterial infection caused mainly by Bordetella pertussis. In mid-January 2006, several cases of pertussis were diagnosed in a military boarding-school. An investigation was carried out at the end of January to identify the risk factors for infection and to evaluate the efficacy of vaccination.Subjects and methods
Three definitions were used to distinguish the cases; confirmed biologically, confirmed epidemiologically and suspected cases. The risk factor study was carried out after the exclusion of suspect cases. Vaccine efficacy (VE) was evaluated from a case–control study where only biologically confirmed cases were included. For each case, five controls were matched according to age, sex and class. A logistic regression and a conditional logistic regression were performed for the risk factor study and vaccine efficacy, respectively. Statistical analysis was carried out using Stata 9.2™ software.Results
A total of 206 cases were included, 17 of them biologically confirmed, 66 epidemiologically and 123 suspected cases. The attack rate was 17.8 per 100. Girls were 1.8 times more likely to catch pertussis (p = 0.04), pupils in the first year of college, as well as those in high school were at 5 times greater risk of catching pertussis (p = 0.008) than those in the second year of college. For pupils who benefited from at least 5 doses, the VE was at 80% when the last dose dated from less than 6 years earlier.Discussion/conclusion
The attack rate observed in our study was similar to those normally seen during epidemics occurring within a community. Vaccine efficacy declined depending on the time lapse since the last vaccination. Since April 2008, the Public Health Authorities have planned to provide pertussis booster vaccinations for children aged 16–18 who missed those for 11–13-year-old, and for adults aged 26–27 and those who have not been vaccinated for more than 10 years. 相似文献16.
Introduction
Healthcare personnel (HCP) are often under-vaccinated. The aim of this study was to evaluate occupational physicians’ potential role by assessing relations between their knowledge and attitudes regarding HCP vaccination and the extent to which official vaccination recommendations are communicated.Methods
Cross-sectional survey, n = 135 occupational physicians.Results
Occupational physicians who treat HCP recommend vaccinations more often to HCP when they have better knowledge of official vaccination recommendations and a more positive attitude towards vaccination compared to physicians with less such knowledge or a more negative attitude. The attitude towards vaccination most strongly affects whether occupational physicians recommend the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccination: physicians with less positive attitudes recommend MMR to HCP in a more restricted way. A more positive attitude towards vaccination also relates to fewer misconceptions. Occupational physicians’ knowledge and attitude further influence the extent to which pregnant HCP receive vaccinations against influenza. Knowledge about official recommendations does not influence the recommendation of influenza vaccination for pregnant women.Conclusions
Reasons for vaccination gaps in HCP might have their roots in occupational physicians’ incomplete knowledge of vaccination recommendations. Attitudes, which are related to misperceptions, also influence which vaccinations are recommended to HCP. Official recommendations, and not personal attitudes and misconceptions, should guide occupational vaccination behavior. 相似文献17.

Hepatitis A (HAV) and Hepatitis B (HBV) infections can cause serious morbidity in patients with liver disease, including cystic fibrosis associated liver disease (CFALD). HAV and HBV vaccinations are recommended in CFALD, and maintenance of detectable antibody levels is also recommended with chronic liver disease. A better understanding of factors predicting low HAV and HBV antibodies may help physicians improve protection from these viruses in CFALD patients.Methods
We examined HAV and HBV vaccine protection in children at risk for CFALD. Clinical and vaccine histories were reviewed, and HAV and HBV antibody titers measured. Those with no vaccination history or low HAV or HBV titers received primary or booster vaccinations, and responses were measured.Results
Thirty-four of 308 children were at risk for CFALD per project criteria. Ten had previous HAV vaccination, of which 90% had positive anti-HAV antibodies. Thirty-three of 34 had previously received primary HBV vaccination (most in infancy), but only 12 (35%) had adequate anti-HBs levels (≥10 mIU/mL). Children with adequate anti-HBs levels were older at first HBV vaccine (median 2.3 vs. 0.1 years, p < 0.01), and at final HBV vaccine (median 4.0 vs. 0.8 years, p = 0.01). Fourteen of 19 (74%) responded to HBV boosters. Z-scores for BMI at HBV booster were significantly lower in booster non-responders (p = 0.04).Conclusions
Children at increased risk of CFALD have inadequate HAV and HBV antibody levels, and HBV antibody protection can be enhanced through vaccine boosters. HBV antibody titers should be assessed in CFALD patients with a history of vaccination, particularly in those who received HBV vaccines in infancy or who are malnourished. 相似文献18.

Purpose
To increase childhood influenza vaccination rates using a toolkit and early vaccine delivery in a randomized cluster trial.Methods
Twenty primary care practices treating children (range for n = 536–8183) were randomly assigned to Intervention and Control arms to test the effectiveness of an evidence-based practice improvement toolkit (4 Pillars Toolkit) and early vaccine supplies for use among disadvantaged children on influenza vaccination rates among children 6 months–18 years. Follow-up staff meetings and surveys were used to assess use and acceptability of the intervention strategies in the Intervention arm. Rates for the 2010–2011 and 2011–2012 influenza seasons were compared. Two-level generalized linear mixed modeling was used to evaluate outcomes.Results
Overall increases in influenza vaccination rates were significantly greater in the Intervention arm (7.9 percentage points) compared with the Control arm (4.4 percentage points; P < 0.034). These rate changes represent 4522 additional doses in the Intervention arm vs. 1390 additional doses in the Control arm. This effect of the intervention was observed despite the fact that rates increased significantly in both arms – 8/10 Intervention (all P < 0.001) and 7/10 Control sites (P-values = 0.04 to <0.001). Rates in two Intervention sites with pre-intervention vaccination rates >58% did not significantly increase. In regression analyses, a child's likelihood of being vaccinated was significantly higher with: younger age, white race (Odds ratio [OR] = 1.29; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.23–1.34), having commercial insurance (OR = 1.30; 95%CI = 1.25–1.35), higher pre-intervention practice vaccination rate (OR = 1.25; 95%CI = 1.16–1.34), and being in the Intervention arm (OR = 1.23; 95%CI = 1.01–1.50). Early delivery of influenza vaccine was rated by Intervention practices as an effective strategy for raising rates.Conclusions
Implementation of a multi-strategy toolkit and early vaccine supplies can significantly improve influenza vaccination rates among children in primary care practices but the effect may be less pronounced in practices with moderate to high existing vaccination rates.Clinical trial registry name/number: From Innovation to Solutions: Childhood Influenza/NCT01664793. 相似文献19.
Objectives
To test two hypothesized models of how anticipated affect, cognitive risk estimate and vaccination intention might influence vaccination uptake against seasonal influenza.Methods
The study collected baseline and follow-up data during the main influenza seasons (January–March) of 2009 and 2010, respectively, among 507 university students and staff of a university in Hong Kong. Following logistic regression to determine eligible variables, two mediation models of cognitive risk estimate, anticipated affect, vaccination intention and vaccination uptake against seasonal influenza were tested using structural equation modeling.Results
Mediation analyses found that anticipated worry if not vaccinated influenced seasonal influenza vaccination uptake through its effects on either perceived probability of influenza infection (β = 0.45) or intention (β = 0.45) while anticipated regret if not vaccinated influenced vaccination uptake through its effect on intention (β = 0.45) only; anticipated regret if vaccinated impeded vaccination uptake indirectly through its effect on vaccination intention (β = −0.26) or directly (β = −0.20); perceived probability of influenza infection influenced vaccination uptake through its effect on intention (β = 0.20) or directly (β = 0.22); and finally, intention influenced vaccination uptake directly (β = 0.58).Conclusion
The results suggest that anticipated affect seems to drive risk estimates related to seasonal influenza vaccination rather than vice versa and intention remains an important mediator of the associations of anticipated affect and cognitive risk estimate with vaccination uptake against seasonal influenza. 相似文献20.
