Although influenza vaccination is recommended during pregnancy as standard of care, limited surveillance data are available for monitoring uptake.
This paper describes a mathematical model used to predict when an epidemic of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) will occur so that preventive measures, such...
Our findings highlight the need to consider age, ethnicity, seasonality and climate when evaluating rotavirus vaccine programs.
Influenza diagnosis codes had high specificity (98.6%) and modest positive predictive value (PPV; 84.1%) and sensitivity (86.1%) for a laboratory-confirmed...
There is a lack of data on the out-of-hospital burden of acute lower respiratory infections (ALRI) in developed countries.
The authors previously reported an increased risk of hospitalisation for acute lower respiratory infection up to age 2 years in children delivered by...
The aim was to document the aetiology of acute lower respiratory infection (ALRI) hospitalisations in Western Australian children
Pregnant women are recognised as being at risk of serious illness from influenza. Despite this, and longstanding national recommendations for vaccination in pregnancy, vaccine uptake remains suboptimal. This study aims to determine factors associated with women declining influenza vaccination in pregnancy.
Multiple studies have shown an association between intussusception (IS) and receipt of monovalent or pentavalent rotavirus vaccine (RV) in the previous 21 days. Disease severity is an important consideration for risk-benefit evaluations of RV, but no studies have compared the severity of IS within 21 days of vaccination (vaccine-associated, VA) and later (not temporally-associated, VNA).
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause of acute lower respiratory infection in young children. We previously estimated that in 2015, 33·1 million episodes of RSV-associated acute lower respiratory infection occurred in children aged 0-60 months, resulting in a total of 118 200 deaths worldwide.
