Filter by:Eligible participants were randomly assigned (1:1:1), using block randomization stratified, to either 3 groups. Group 1 will be immunized inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine and varicella vaccine in day 0 followed by measles-mumps-rubella vaccine(MMR) in day 28. Group 2 will be immunized varicella vaccine in day 0 followed by SARS-CoV-2 vaccine and MMR in day 28. Group 3 will be immunized inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in day 0 followed by MMR and varicella vaccine in day 28. Vaccines were administered 28 days apart, with blood samples taken on day 0 and day 28 before vaccination, and on day 56. Local and systemic symptoms and serious adverse events following immunzation were collected.
The goal of this study is to measure the accuracy of a new measles rapid test when used in clinical health centres in several regions of Senegal. The rapid test will be used to test patients for measles who attend the participating health centres with signs and symptoms suggestive of measles infection. The rapid test can be used with a drop of blood from a finger, or oral fluid sampled with a swab rubbed over the gums. The rapid test will be compared to the standard methods of diagnosis in the laboratory using blood samples and oral or throat samples taken for surveillance purposes. The main questions the study aims to answer are: 1. What is the accuracy of the rapid test when used with capillary blood (a drop of blood from the finger tip) in health centres by non-laboratory health professionals? 2. What is the accuracy of the rapid test when used with oral fluid by non-laboratory health professionals? In addition to measuring the accuracy of the test, data will also be collected on whether the test is easy and practical to use and how best to record the results.
Introduction Participant centered active adverse event following immunization (AEFI) surveillance can offer real time vaccine safety data and help in signal detection. Evidence showed that it is still difficult to get AEFI from passive reporting in Ethiopia. Vast novel method of enhanced AEFI surveillance has been practiced globally. However, those methods had serious limitations including the requirement of high resource and expertise. Hence, there is a need to find the most flexible low cost and integrated AEFI surveillance system. To the best of our knowledge, there has no published research in Ethiopia which compare Participant diary, SMS, and telephone interview for the purpose of active AEFI surveillance. Objective: To assess participant centered active adverse event surveillance following measles immunization at Gedeo Zone health facilities, Ethiopia. Method: An open randomized trial will be employed from October 1, 2022- December 1, 2023, at Gedio Zone health facilities. All parents, care givers/guardians whose child receive vaccine during the study period in the study site will be included in the study. A total of 391participants will be randomized to SMS, telephone interview or diary card group using random number generator on Excel. Every participant will be contacted on day seven to request them whether they experience any AEFI. Differences in proportions will compared using chi-square tests. A 0.05 level of significance will be used for all analyses. Independent sample t-tests will be used to compare the mean time (in days) required to collect complete AEFI data by SMS, telephone interview and diary card. Multinominal logistic regression analyses will be used assess the factors associated with effective use of tailored SMS, telephone interview and diary card for the AEFI active surveillance. To further investigate the association between the vaccine and the adverse events and factors associated with vaccine binary and multi variable logistic regression will be used.
An open-label, randomized controlled, non-inferiority study of co-administration of OCV, TCV and MR vaccines among children 12 to 59 months of age in Dhaka, Bangladesh will be conducted. Children who did not receive any of the aforementioned vaccines will be included in the study. This study will be conducted among 2117 children of 12-59 months of age residing in Mirpur area (wards 4, and 6-16) of Dhaka north and Kamrangirchar, Hazaribag and Rayerbazar areas (wards 14, 22, 56, 57, and 58) of Dhaka south to enroll the required number of participants. Only children who have not previously received the vaccines will be enrolled. The findings of this study are likely to have a significant impact on vaccine co-administration strategies for campaign and routine immunization programs. The participants will be randomly assigned to one of the six arms. The numbers are defined for each arm based on the sample size calculation. A list of children who did not receive MR, OCV and TCV will be prepared before enrollment by trained study staff (TSS). The TSSs will visit households in the defined study area and ask if the parents/guardians of children aged 12-59 months are willing to participate in the study. If they show willingness to participate, the TSSs will check their vaccination cards (if available) and prepare the list of potentially eligible children who have not received OCV, TCV and MR based on their vaccination card status and verbal statement (if vaccination card is not available). The investigators will enroll the participants after obtaining informed written consent and collect around 2-3 ml blood from each participant at different time points.
Several studies on the duration of immunity after the vaccine try to explain the cause of susceptibility to the measles virus even after the administration of 2 doses of the viral triple vaccine, based not only on the finding of low vaccine coverage. In the recent measles epidemic that occurred in Brazil, beginning in 2018, we verified the predominance of the D8 genotype, with different strains. The detection of these strains is an important molecular marker to define different introductions of the same genotype, in the same geographic area, enabling better knowledge and discussion of the control strategies used. Some news circulated in the press about a possible failure of the vaccine to protect the vaccinated population against this D8 genotype. Regarding the mumps and rubella components, analyzes of the duration of immunity will be carried out for these 2 components, in addition to measles, since the children received in 2012 the triple viral vaccine, and there are data in the literature on the drop in antibodies to mumps, over the years. For rubella, Brazil received the rubella virus elimination certificate, and the results of duration of immunity from this study, may collaborate to know the profile of duration of immunity to rubella, in this cohort vaccinated in 2012, and who is living in a period without circulation of the wild virus.
The following two mechanisms that explain the ability of measles vaccine to cause partial protection against COVID-19. The first is that measles vaccine may increase the ability of the immune system to fight off pathogens other than measles due to the generated bystander immunity that would enhance the overall immunity against the new coronavirus. The second is that SARS-CoV-2 is proven to have structure similarities with measles, which may cause cross-reactivity and immunity between measles vaccines and COVID-19, leading to partial protection against COVID-19 in vaccinated subjects
The question that this project seeks to answer, is whether mobile phones can be used to increase the measles vaccination coverage and timeliness in Guinea-Bissau. The intervention will be evaluated in terms of direct health outcomes and cost/benefit analysis, generating evidence that could help policy makers making informed decisions about implementing mHealth interventions at a national level. The intervention takes the form of a randomized controlled trial in which text messages (SMS) as well as voice calls are scheduled and delivered to mo thers to remind and encourage them to have their children timely vaccinated against measles. In addition, the messages will include relevant information about opening hours and availability of the measles vaccine at the mothers' local health facilities thus improving coordination. The trial will include three different randomization groups with approx. 350 participants in each group. The first group will receive SMS messages, the second group will receive a voice call in addition to the SMS messages, and the third group is a control group that does not receive any intervention. Study participants will be enrolled following birth at one of three health centers in different rural regions of Guinea-Bissau. Before the measles vaccine is scheduled to be given, at 9 months of age, mothers will receive the intervention message depending on their assigned randomization group. When the measles vaccine is administered, the child will be registered as having received the measles vaccination. A follow-up phone interview will be conducted at 12 months of age for all children participating regardless of randomization group and whether or not they received the measles vaccine. All participating children, who at that time still have not received the measles vaccine, will be offered the vaccine at the expense of the project.
Prevalence of participants who have protective immunity to measles virus is less than ninety percent. Predictor of adequate measles antibody levels include the following : - History of measles infection - History of complete measles primary immunization( 2 doses with at least 1 month interval after age of 9 months) - History of measles exposure Predictor of inadequate measles antibody levels include the following : - Born outside Thailand - History of staying outside Thailand for long time in childhood - Living in the rural area for a long period in childhood - Fail to participate school system on time
The objectives of the study are to assess the efficacy and safety of live, attenuated measles vaccine as consolidation therapy in patients with measles-positive, non-small cell lung cancer with locally-advanced (stage 3B with pleural effusion) or metastatic (stage 4) tumors in remission.
