Coinfection with human papillomavirus (HPV) and HIV compounds the risks of developing cervical, anal, and HPV-associated oral neoplasia. Safe prophylactic vaccines are available to prevent HPV infections in people with HIV(PWH). Yet, vaccine efficacy and duration of protection remain questionable.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFImportance: Limited randomized clinical trial data exist on the safety of simultaneous administration of COVID-19 and influenza vaccines.
Objective: To compare the reactogenicity, safety, and changes in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) after simultaneous vs sequential receipt of messenger RNA (mRNA) COVID-19 vaccine and quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV4).
Design, Setting, And Participants: This randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted between October 8, 2021, and June 14, 2023, at 3 US sites.
Importance: Quadrivalent adjuvanted inactivated influenza vaccine (aIIV4) and adjuvanted recombinant zoster vaccine (RZV) contain novel adjuvants. Data are limited on the comparative safety, reactogenicity, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) effects of the simultaneous administration of these vaccines.
Objective: To compare the safety and reactogenicity after simultaneous doses of RZV and aIIV4 administration (opposite arms) with simultaneous doses of RZV with quadrivalent high-dose inactivated influenza vaccine [HD-IIV4]).
Article Synopsis
- Anbar province, specifically Hadeetha, experienced significant health care disruptions during the conflicts from the U.S. invasion in 2003 and ISIS occupation from 2014-2017, leading to changes in health-seeking behaviors among caregivers of young children.
- The mixed-methods study conducted from 2019 to 2021 involved a household survey of 415 caregivers and focus groups with healthcare workers to understand shifts in healthcare access and practices post-conflict.
- Findings revealed that post-conflict, 79% of caregivers sought care from physicians compared to just 47% during the conflict, while healthcare workers identified major challenges in service delivery during the ISIS years due to infrastructure damage and threats to safety.
The SARS-COV2 pandemic caused significant disruptions in immunization delivery. Baseline deficit gaps in immunization completion exacerbated ongoing disparities in immunization coverage in low- and middle-income. Emerging reports focused on global strategies for return to routine immunization schedules.
