Individuals who are immunocompromised (IC) due to therapy or underlying disease are at increased risk of herpes zoster (HZ). This study evaluates the public health impact of recombinant zoster vaccine (RZV) relative to no HZ vaccination for the prevention of HZ among adults aged ≥18 years diagnosed with selected cancers in the United States (US). A static Markov model was used to simulate three cohorts of individuals who are IC with cancer (time horizon of 30 years; one-year cycle length): hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients, patients with breast cancer (BC; a solid tumor example), and patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL; a hematological malignancy example).

Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital of Cologne, University of Cologne, Cologne, Germany.
Purpose: To investigate general and electronic health literacy (HL) levels in prosthetic eye wearing patients, to define factors associated with reduced HL, and to identify a potential healthcare gap.
Methods: In this prospective cross-sectional study 148 prosthetic eye wearers were screened using the 16-item European Health Literacy Survey Questionnaire (HLS-EU-Q16) and the 8-item electronic Health Literacy Scale (eHEALS). HLS-EU-16 and eHEALS scores were correlated to health levels, vision functioning, and sociodemographic factors.
