This article addresses the challenge of vaccine hesitancy among people with HIV (PWH), emphasizing the need for research on the potential impact of trust and intellectual humility in health care. It underscores the complexity of vaccine acceptance in PWH and the urgency of addressing hesitancy in PWH ahead of a future HIV vaccine. The article identifies trust in health care providers as a critical factor influencing vaccine uptake and proposes that providers who demonstrate intellectual humility-openly recognizing the limits of their knowledge-might enhance patient trust. The role of nurses is spotlighted because of their social positioning in the patient experience. The article advocates for interventions tailored to PWH's unique experiences and attitudes. Such strategies are essential for improving vaccine uptake and, consequently, public health outcomes.

Background: Uptake of COVID-19 vaccines has stalled in the U.S. Some studies suggest that medical mistrust may be a barrier, but evidence is limited due to cross-sectional designs or convenience sampling.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) struggles with low full childhood vaccination coverage (around 50 %) and a high children-under-five mortality rate (79 deaths per 1000 live births). This situation is potentially exacerbated by vaccine hesitancy, which was identified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of the top 10 global health threats in 2019. To gain deeper insights into levels of vaccine confidence possibly influencing vaccination coverage, we explored perceptions and attitudes towards childhood and adult vaccines in Boende (Tshuapa province, western DRC), which experienced an Ebola outbreak in 2014 and hosted the EBL2007 Ebola vaccine trial (2019-2022).

Objective: Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine uptake remains suboptimal. Our stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial found that reminder-recall letters sent to parents of age-eligible children significantly increased vaccine uptake compared to usual care. Subsequently, we conducted a process evaluation to assess the mechanisms of the letter's effectiveness.

Immune complexes (ICs), formed via antibody (Ab)-antigen (Ag) binding, trigger diverse immune responses, which are critical for natural immunity and have uses for vaccines and immunotherapies. While IC-elicited immune responses depend on its structure, existing methods for IC synthesis produce heterogeneous assemblies, which limits control over their cellular interactions and pharmacokinetics. In this study, we demonstrate the use of DNA origami to create synthetic ICs with defined shape, size, and solubility by displaying Ags in prescribed spatial patterns.
