Mashup Score: 33
The 2019 European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) recommendations on herpes zoster vaccination for adult patients with rheumatic immune-mediated inflammatory diseases stated that these patients are at increased risk of herpes zoster compared with the general population. However, these recommendations lack clarity and specificity and are cautiously phrased, which might cause physicians to underestimate the importance of herpes zoster vaccination for these patients, potentially resulting in suboptimal protection.

Mashup Score: 60Action to maximise childhood vaccination is urgently needed - 5 month(s) ago
Declining uptake in England must be reversed to avert disease outbreaks Changes to the UK’s childhood vaccination schedule over the past three decades have seen both a wider range of vaccines offered and overall improvements in vaccine coverage. In 1988, when the single antigen measles vaccine was replaced with the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, uptake was only just above 70% for 2 year old children in England and Wales,2 with 16 deaths from measles reported in that year alone.3 Today’s preschool children are routinely offered protection against 14 potentially serious infections with further vaccines offered to teenagers.1 Overall uptake rates had improved significantly in the UK, with highs of over 90% for the primary vaccines at 12 months and first dose MMR vaccine at 24 months up to 2012-13. However, the 2022-23 childhood vaccine figures show a continuing and concerning downward trend that began before the pandemic.1 For example, the 85.2% coverage for two doses of MMR v

Mashup Score: 0The one-dose schedule opens the door to rapid scale-up of HPV vaccination - BMC Medicine - 6 month(s) ago
In 2020, the World Health Organization launched a global strategy to accelerate the elimination of cervical cancer as a public health concern, with achieving 90% coverage of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination among girls as one of the core measures [1]. However, challenges related to the high vaccine procurement and delivery costs, logistical barriers, and supply constraints have led to ongoing slow uptake and low accessibility to HPV vaccines, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs)
