In China, children aged 12 months receive only a single dose of the varicella vaccine and the incidence of varicella remains high. This study aims to evaluate the changes in immunity among children aged 1-3 years following a single dose of the varicella vaccine, providing a scientific basis for determining the optimal age for a second vaccination. This prospective cohort study employed glycoprotein enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (gpELISA) for antibody detection.

Introduction: In the Veneto Region of Italy, universal varicella vaccination (VV) started in 2007 with a two-dose schedule at 12-15 months and 5-6 years of age achieving 90 % coverage in 2019. The study aimed at evaluating the vaccine effectiveness (VE) in children using a primary-care database METHODS: This retrospective analysis used Pedianet, a comprehensive database of 73 family paediatricians in the Veneto Region. Incidence rates (IR) of varicella were evaluated in children aged <14 years enrolled since birth, between January 2004 to April 2022.

Helicase-primase is an interesting target for small-molecule therapy of herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections. With amenamevir already approved for varicella-zoster virus and herpes simplex in Japan and with 's granted breakthrough therapy designation for the treatment of acyclovir-resistant HSV infections in immunocompromised patients, the target has sparked interest in helicase-primase inhibitors (HPIs). Here, we analyze the first patent application from Gilead in this field, which pursued a me-too approach combining elements from an old Bayer together with a recent Medshine HPI application (which covers the Phaeno Therapeutics drug candidate ).
