Background: The 2023-2024 influenza season had predominant influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus activity, but A(H3N2) and B viruses co-circulated. Seasonal influenza vaccine strains were well-matched to these viruses.
Methods: Using health care encounters data from health systems in 8 states, we evaluated influenza vaccine effectiveness (VE) against influenza-associated medical encounters from October 2023-April 2024.
Incidence and Risk of Coronavirus Disease 2019 Hospitalization Among Unvaccinated Children.
Influenza Other Respir Viruses

Objectives: The aim of this study is to determine the incidence and risk factors associated with COVID-19 hospitalization among unvaccinated children.
Methods: Children aged 0- < 18 years, members of Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC), were followed from March 1, 2020, until the earliest occurrence of: chart-confirmed COVID-19 hospitalization, disenrollment from KPNC, age 18 years, receipt of COVID-19 vaccine, death, or study end (December 31, 2022). We calculated the incidence rate of hospitalization by SARS-CoV-2 variant period and by age group.
Background: Respiratory syncytial virus vaccines first recommended for use during 2023 were efficacious against lower respiratory tract disease in clinical trials. Limited real-world data regarding respiratory syncytial virus vaccine effectiveness are available. To inform vaccine policy and address gaps in evidence from the clinical trials, we aimed to assess the effectiveness against respiratory syncytial virus-associated hospitalisations and emergency department encounters among adults aged at least 60 years.

- A study investigates the effects of receiving seasonal influenza vaccinations during two successive pregnancies on adverse birth outcomes, focusing on differences based on interpregnancy intervals and vaccine types (quadrivalent or trivalent).
- Data was collected from a large cohort of individuals with at least two singleton live births between 2004 and 2018, using information from the Vaccine Safety Datalink.
- The study analyzed risks of complications like preeclampsia, placental issues, and preterm birth among vaccinated and unvaccinated populations, finding that the majority of participants received vaccinations in both pregnancies.
