Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders (NHPIs) across the country have experienced significant disparities because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Pacific Alliance Against COVID-19 used a community-based participatory approach involving academic and community partners to expand sustainable COVID-19 testing capacity and mitigate the severe consequences among NHPI communities in Hawaii. We describe the approach of this one-year study, some of the results, and how the data are being used to inform next steps for the communities. Clinical Trials.gov identifier: NCT04766333.

In 2013, Uganda introduced the PCV10 pneumococcal vaccine and it is given to children at 6, 10 and 14 weeks after birth. Carriage prevalence studies post PCV10-introduction are necessary for monitoring the impact of vaccination and trends in antibiotic resistance. Here, we studied carriage/antibiotic resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus), , and isolated from 194 children at the Mulago Assessment Centre clinic in Kampala-Uganda, 5 years post-PCV10 introduction.

Eosinophils are important mediators of mucosal tissue homeostasis, anti-helminth responses, and allergy. Lung eosinophilia has previously been linked to aberrant Type 2-skewed T cell responses to respiratory viral infection and may also be a consequence of vaccine-associated enhanced respiratory disease (VAERD), particularly in the case of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and the formalin-inactivated RSV vaccine. We previously reported a dose-dependent recruitment of eosinophils to the lungs of mice vaccinated with alum-adjuvanted trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV) following a sublethal, vaccine-matched H1N1 (A/New Caledonia/20/1999; NC99) influenza challenge.

One safety concern during severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine development has been the vaccine-associated enhanced disease, which is characterized by eosinophilic immunopathology and T helper cell type 2 (T2)–biased immune responses with insufficient neutralizing antibodies. In this study, we established a lethal animal model using BALB/c mice and a mouse-passaged isolate (QHmusX) from a European lineage of SARS-CoV-2. The QHmusX strain induced acute respiratory illness, associated with diffuse alveolar damage and pulmonary edema, in T2-prone adult BALB/c mice, but not in young mice or T1-prone C57BL/6 mice.

Background: As long as oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) is used, the potential risk for the emergence of vaccine-related polioviruses remains.
Case Summary: We report a case of Sabin-like type 1 poliovirus infection in an immunocompetent 17-mo-old child after receiving four scheduled doses of OPV. Somehow, the four doses did not confer full protection, possibly because of interference created by other enteroviruses.
