Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes lower respiratory tract infection, with a high burden of disease among adults ≥60 years. This study assessed the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of an investigational adjuvanted RSV vaccine (RSVPreF3/AS01) in Japanese adults aged 60-80 years.

Methods: Forty participants were randomized to receive two doses of RSVPreF3/AS01 or the placebo, in a 1:1 ratio, two months apart, in this placebo-controlled study.

Introduction: This observational retrospective matched cohort study evaluated the safety of a prenatal tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccination, Boostrix. We previously reported on the risk of maternal and neonatal outcomes; here we report on the risk of congenital anomalies in infants at birth through 6 months of age.

Methods: The study included pregnant Kaiser Permanente Southern California members.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate safety and immunogenicity of vaccine formulations against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) containing the stabilized prefusion conformation of RSV fusion protein (RSVPreF3).

Methods: This phase 1/2, randomized controlled, observer-blind study enrolled 48 young adults (YAs; aged 18-40 years) and 1005 older adults (OAs; aged 60-80 years) between January and August 2019. Participants were randomized into equally sized groups to receive 2 doses of unadjuvanted (YAs and OAs) or AS01-adjuvanted (OAs) vaccine or placebo 2 months apart.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety of prenatal tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccination. This cohort study was conducted among pregnant members at Kaiser Permanente Southern California (KPSC). The exposed cohort consisted of women who received Tdap vaccine on or after the 27th week of pregnancy between January 2018 and January 2019.

Article Synopsis
  • Some moms got a pertussis vaccine while pregnant, and it might affect how their babies respond to vaccinations later on.
  • Researchers studied toddlers who got their booster shots to see if the vaccine made a difference in their immune response.
  • After the booster, both groups did well, but toddlers who didn't get the mom's vaccine showed higher levels of certain antibodies.*
