The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in many aftermaths, economic crisis and extra charging of health care. The development of vaccine against SARS-nCoV-2 agent turned out as the priority task of world and Russian medicine and pharmaceutics. The investigation of efficiency and safety of vaccines can be prolonged for many years that can aggravate the observed crisis. Having regard to the global scope and speed of pandemic spreading, the vaccine "Gam-COVID-Vac" was registered with special procedure by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 441 of 03.04.2020 for accelerated access to civic turn-over. To monitor safety of vaccine on the basis of international experience, the decision was made to organize the independent Committee of monitoring data concerning efficacy and safety of vaccines applied to prevent COVID-19. The article presents rationale for necessity to create independent committee and to implement such a practice.

Since its introduction, vaccination has heavily improved health outcomes. However, implementing vaccination efforts can be challenging, particularly in low and middle-income countries with warmer climates. Microneedle technology has been developed for its simple and relatively painless applications of vaccines.

Background: Despite its proven effectiveness and safety, there are limited real-world data on CoronaVac's immunogenicity in children, especially in lower-income countries, particularly for SARS-CoV-2 variants. We present a real-world study evaluating CoronaVac's immunogenicity in Colombian children stratified by previous exposure to this virus.
Methods: 89 children aged 3-11 years were enrolled (50 Non-Exposed and 39 Exposed).

Importance: Preterm infants are recommended to receive most vaccinations at the same postnatal age as term infants. Studies have inconsistently observed an increased risk for postvaccination apnea in preterm infants.
Objective: To compare the proportions of hospitalized preterm infants with apnea and other adverse events in the 48 hours after 2-month vaccinations vs after no vaccinations.
Messenger RNA (mRNA) therapeutics have garnered considerable attention due to their remarkable efficacy in the treatment of various diseases. The COVID-19 mRNA vaccine and RSV mRNA vaccine have been approved on the market. Due to the inherent nuclease-instability and negative charge of mRNA, delivery systems are developed to protect the mRNA from degradation and facilitate its crossing cell membrane to express functional proteins or peptides in the cytoplasm.

Feline calicivirus (FCV) is one of the most widespread pathogens affecting feline animals. Currently, FCV is believed to be divisible into two genotypes, with prevalent strains encompassing both GI and GII. Vaccination is the primary means of preventing FCV infection, yet traditional inactivated or attenuated vaccines theoretically pose potential safety concerns.
