The current study describes the long-term effectiveness of three-dose HPV16/18 vaccination among Dutch women who were eligible for vaccination during a catch-up campaign and were followed in an observational cohort study. Ten years post vaccination, vaccine effectiveness (VE) was estimated using generalized estimating equation models. VE against persistent infections with vaccine type infections (HPV16/18) was high at 95.8%. For cross protective type persistent infections (HPV31/33/45) this was 64.6%. There were no indications of waning of protection over time. This indicates solid long-term protection is provided by the vaccine and is promising with regard to the future clinical impact.

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).

Pseudorabies virus (PRV), causing Aujeszky's disease in swine, has important economic impact on the pig industry in China and even poses a threat to public health. Although this disease has been controlled by vaccination with PRV live attenuated vaccines (LAVs), the potency of PRV LAVs in inducing cellular immunity has not been well characterized. In this study, using PRV Bartha K61 strain (BK61), the most-used PRV LAVs, as a model, we re-examined the cellular immune response elicited by the BK61 in mice and pigs by multicolor flow cytometry.

Whole genome sequencing was performed on clinical and water strains from 200 patient households and found annual bimodal peaks of clade AFR10e. 1154 diarrhea patients were enrolled with 342 culture confirmed cholera patients.

Herpes zoster (HZ) among older adults has consistently been a concern. Despite the availability of vaccines, HZ vaccination remains underutilized globally. This study investigated the behavioral intention of older adults in Hong Kong to receive self-financed or fully subsidized HZ vaccines.

We examined the efficacy and adverse effects of low-dose intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy in patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Patients who underwent intravesical BCG therapy (n=176 ; 198 courses) at our hospital between April 2012 and December 2022 were enrolled. After assigning patients to either the low-dose or regular-dose (40 or 80 mg of BCG Tokyo 172 strain) groups, treatment efficacy and incidence of adverse events were compared.
