Article Abstract
This phase 3B, open-label, extension study (NCT01962207) evaluated long-term persistence of antibodies induced by the quadrivalent meningococcal vaccine conjugated to tetanus toxoid (MenACWY-TT) compared with the meningococcal serogroup C vaccine conjugated to CRM (MenC-CRM) and the quadrivalent meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine (MenACWY-PS) 6 to 10 y after primary vaccination in toddlers (aged 1-<2 y; MenACWY-TT and MenC-CRM) and children (aged 2-<11 y; MenACWY-TT and MenACWY-PS). Antibody responses against meningococcal serogroups A, C, W, and Y were assessed by serum bactericidal antibody assays using rabbit (rSBA) or human (hSBA) complement. A MenACWY-TT booster dose at Year 10 was given to all eligible subjects regardless of the primary vaccine received. At Year 10, the percentages of subjects with rSBA titers ≥1:8 for serogroups A, C, W, and Y were as follows: MenACWY-TT (toddlers), 65.6%, 82.8%, 31.3%, 43.8%, respectively; MenC-CRM, 88.2% for serogroup C; MenACWY-TT (children), 88.9%, 84.1%, 67.1%, 65.9%; and MenACWY-PS, 28.6%, 81.0%, 23.8%, and 23.8%. Corresponding percentages for hSBA titers ≥1:4 were as follows: MenACWY-TT (toddlers), 31.1%, 91.9%, 44.4%, 41.4%; MenC-CRM, 93.8% for serogroup C; MenACWY-TT (children), 34.8%, 91.1%, 61.2%, 72.6%; and MenACWY-PS, 33.3%, 100.0%, 26.3%, and 44.4%. One month after the MenACWY-TT booster, the percentage of subjects with vaccine response ranged from 75.7% to 100.0% across serogroups in all study groups. Postbooster vaccine responses were generally comparable between groups across serogroups. No new safety signals were identified. Antibody responses persisted 10 y after MenACWY-TT vaccination. The MenACWY-TT booster dose was well tolerated and elicited robust immune responses.

Introduction: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a widespread skin-to-skin transmitted infection that poses a global health concern. Although Albania faced prior challenges, it has recently introduced a quadrivalent recombinant HPV vaccine, a critical step in preventing cervical cancer among young women. This study aims to identify potential gaps in knowledge and attitudes among Albanian women regarding cervical cancer and HPV infection, as well as provide insights into the effectiveness of the national primary prevention program.

Background: Pneumococcal disease, caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, imposes a significant global health burden, particularly affecting vulnerable groups such as the elderly and immunocompromised. The 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23) is designed to protect against 23 serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae. However, there is ongoing debate about its effectiveness in reducing all-cause mortality.

Background: Polio, a debeilitating and potentially life-threatening disease, continues to pose a risk to young children globally. While vaccination offers a powerful shield, its reach is not always equal. This study explores socioeconomic and geographical inequalities in polio immunisation coverage among two-year-olds in Sierra Leone between 2008 and 2019.
