This protocol was developed to conduct population-wide surveillance of the bivalent HPV-16/18-AS04-adjuvanted human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in terms of uptake and safety outcomes including potential immune-mediated diseases (pIMDs) and pregnancy-related outcomes in China. The study will use electronic health records from 2010 to 2020 from the Yinzhou Regional Health Information Platform and include a population-based cohort of female permanent residents aged 9-45 years. Baseline and follow-up periods will be defined according to the 2017 introduction of HPV-16/18-AS04 in China.

A multi-center prospective cohort study assessed safety following vaccination of Chinese girls and women aged 9-45 years between 31 May 2018 and 3 December 2020. Adverse events following immunization (AEFIs), potential immune-mediated diseases (pIMDs), and pregnancy-related outcomes were collected up to 12 months from the third immunization or 24 months from the first immunization, whichever came first.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination reduces HPV-related infection and associated cervical lesions and cancers. Few studies have explored HPV vaccination impact in real-world settings in China.

We aimed to estimate the vaccine effectiveness (VE) of third-trimester pregnancy immunisation with the three-component acellular pertussis (Td3ap) vaccine at preventing pertussis in infants <2 months in the United States (US), to support a label update.
Methods: We performed a post-hoc sub-analysis of a case-control study conducted in six US Emerging Infections Program Network states between 2011 and 2014.
Background: Real-world studies on vaccine effects are diverse in terms of objectives, study setting and design, data type and scope, and analysis methods. In this review, we describe and discuss four-component meningococcal serogroup B vaccine (4CMenB vaccine, Bexsero) real-world studies with the aim of synthesizing their findings with application of standard methods.
Methods: We performed a systematic literature review of all real-world studies on 4CMenB vaccine effects on meningococcal serogroup B disease, with no restriction for population age, vaccination schedule and/or type of vaccine effect evaluated (vaccine effectiveness [VE] and vaccine impact [VI] outcomes) published since its licensure in 2013 (from January 2014 until July 2021) in PubMed, Cochrane and the grey literature.
