Background: Hepatitis B vaccination is necessary for patients with biologic therapies because of the immunomodulatory effect of these drugs. Due to the elevated use of these therapies in the latest years, the research for new vaccination regimens and the improvement of the current ones is essential. New adjuvants like AS04C might be a potential strategy to improve immune response.

This coincided with an increase in the incidence in Asturias, a region where rapid diagnosis and containment measures had limited the circulation of variants.
Methods: From January to June 2022, 34,591 variants were determined by the SNP method.

Article Synopsis
- Spain declared a state of alarm on March 14, 2020, due to COVID-19, implementing confinement measures and later launching a phased plan to lift them, beginning May 4, 2020.
- The transition involved a careful strategy for monitoring and controlling the virus, with decision-making shared between the national government and regional authorities, using specific indicators to assess the situation.
- By June 21, 2020, significant improvements were made, including a decrease in infection rates, increased testing capacity, and better contact tracing, highlighting the importance of data and communication in managing the public health response.
Objective: Actually, there are no studies related to the attitudes of health professionals towards the official recommendation of influenza vaccination, despite the fact that there are numerous investigations that have addressed their own attitude towards vaccination. The objective is to design the Questionnaire on the Attitudes of Healthcare Professionals towards the Official Flu Vaccination Recommendations (CAPSVA).
Methods: Quasi-experimental study.
Background And Objective: The risk of bacterial meningitis increases in cochlear implant patients. Therefore, pneumococcal, influenza and Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccination is indicated in this group. The aim of this study was to determine compliance with the vaccination calendar in patients implanted in a referral hospital.
