Article Synopsis
- In this study, researchers wanted to find a better way to help kids feel less pain during needle procedures, comparing a new device called Buzzy with the usual lidocaine patches.
- They tested both options on children aged 4-15 at vaccination centers in France, where kids could use either the Buzzy device, which provides cold and vibration, or the lidocaine patch that numbs the area.
- The results showed that kids using Buzzy reported their pain scores, and the study aimed to see if Buzzy worked just as well as the lidocaine patch.
Background: The pathogenic and oncogenic roles of papillomavirus (HPV) infections have been documented and shown to occur in women as well as in men. While other countries have already extended their vaccination guidelines to include boys, in 2019 the French National Authority for Health validated implementation of HPV vaccination in the 2020 vaccination schedule. There is, however, a climate of distrust in regard to vaccination in France, and there have been few studies to date regarding the acceptability of HPV vaccination in boys in France.

Objectives: Protection of French young infants against pertussis only relies on their relatives' vaccination. The alternative is vaccination of pregnant women against pertussis (cocooning strategy), but this strategy is not yet recommended in France. We assessed the acceptance of this strategy among French postpartum women and health professionals.
