Plans for a vaccination campaign among the health care personnel at the "Valle del Nalón" Hospital are discussed. For this purpose, first of all, the serological testing to determine the markers as compared to the VHB was done using the ELISA technique, and in following, the vaccine based on genetic engineering, ENGERIX BR was provided, initially according to the criteria established to this effect by law, and then from a less restricted view, according to the principles which are given in the text. We have observed that 14.74% of the workers in our town have some positive marker priori to the vaccination and that 1.81% are carriers. The level of tolerance was that of 45.79%, said level being related to the professional group in question and the service in which they work, differences obtained in both cases being statistically quite significant (p less than 0.0001).

Mass vaccination against peste des petits ruminants (PPR) in two southern states of India, namely Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, has reduced disease outbreaks significantly. The sporadic outbreaks reported now can be attributed in part to the recurring movement of sheep and goats between these contiguous states. This study assessed the present level of economic burden and impact of vaccination on the local system (one state), considering the exposure from the external system (neighboring state) using a system dynamic (SD) model.

: Three respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccines have been recently made available for older adults. Understanding the principal characteristics of the first vaccine-takers can pave the way for a successful vaccination campaign. The objective of this study was to explore the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the first Italian users of an adjuvanted RSV vaccine and their attitudes towards RSV and vaccination.

Bovine brucellosis (bB) is a zoonosis mainly caused by the species in cattle. Bovine brucellosis can present with either a range of clinical symptoms, including spontaneous abortions in the last trimester of pregnancy, retained fetal membranes, and decreased milk production, or it can be asymptomatic. In Ecuador, vaccination against bB with S19 and/or RB51 is not mandatory and is the responsibility of the farmer.

Anal HPV infection can cause squamous intraepithelial lesions (SILs), which are precursors of anal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The early detection of HPV infections and improvement of effective screening programmes are, therefore, essential to prevent progression from pre-cancerous lesions to SCC, especially in people living with HIV (PLWH), who represent a population at higher risk of HPV infection and associated lesions. Among prevention strategies, HPV vaccination is relevant too, but its efficacy in persons already infected by HPV is still debated.

Background: The National Expanded Program on Immunization in the Democratic Republic of the Congo implemented a program in 9 Provinces to generate georeferenced immunization microplans to strengthen the planning and implementation of vaccination services. The intervention aimed to improve identification and immunization of zero-dose children and overall immunization coverage.
Methods: This study applies a mixed-methods design including survey tools, in-depth interviews and direct observation to document the uptake, use, and acceptance of the immunization microplans developed with geospatial data in two intervention provinces and one control province from February to June 2023.
