Single-dose vaccine formats can prevent clinic-level vaccine wastage but may incur higher production, medical waste disposal, and storage costs than multi-dose formats. To help guide vaccine developers, manufacturers, distributors, and purchasers, we developed a computational model to predict the potential economic impact of various single-dose versus multi-dose measles (MEA), hemophilus influenzae type B (Hib), Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG), yellow fever (YF), and pentavalent (DTP-HepB-Hib) vaccine formats. Lower patient demand favors fewer dose formats. The mean daily patient arrival thresholds for each vaccine format are as follows: for the MEA vaccine, 2 patients/day (below which the single-dose vial and above which the 10-dose vial are least costly); BCG vaccine, 6 patients/day (below, 10-dose vial; above, 20-dose vial); Hib vaccine, 5 patients/day (below, single-dose vial; above, 10-dose vial); YF vaccine, 33 patients/day (below, 5-dose vials; above 50-dose vial); and DTP-HepB-Hib vaccine, 5 patients/day (below, single-dose vial; above, 10-dose vial).

February 2024
Centro de Esclerosis Múltiple de Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the occurrence of SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infections in vaccinated people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) receiving high-efficacy disease-modifying therapies (HET) in Argentina.
- The analysis involved 228 adult PwMS who were fully vaccinated with vaccines like AstraZeneca and Sputnik, primarily receiving cladribine as their HET.
- The results indicated a breakthrough infection rate of 3.5 cases per 10,000 patients per day, with higher risks observed in patients treated with ocrelizumab compared to other therapies.

At the very beginning of the European spread of SARS-CoV-2, Piedmont was one of the most affected regions in Italy, with a strong impact on healthcare organizations. In this study, we evaluated the characteristics and outcomes of the COVID-19 patients in an entire region during the first three pandemic waves, identifying similarities and differences in the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic's timeline. We collected the health-administrative data of all the Piedmont COVID-19 patients infected during the first three pandemic waves (1 March 2020-15 April 2020; 15 October 2020-15 December 2020; 1 March 2021-15 April 2021, respectively).
