Filter by:The goal of this interventional clinical trial is to investigate the impact of medicine and pharmacy-led education on patient acceptance rates of Prevnar 20 pneumonia vaccination in patients eligible to receive the vaccine. The education intervention and subsequent option to get the vaccine will be done while the patient is admitted to inpatient care, prior to discharge. The main questions the study aims to answer are: - Will supplemental education about the Prevnar 20 Pneumococcal vaccine influence patient acceptance rates when given a decision to receive it? - Is there any other statistically relevant qualitative reasoning behind the patient's final decision for accepting or refusing the vaccine?
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has a major impact on transplant recipients, with mortality rates up to 20%. However, immunocompromised individuals have been excluded from studies of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. In such patients, the immune response to vaccination may be blunted. To better understand the immunogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in transplant recipients, we quantified the humoral response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in kidney transplant recipients.
Tick-borne Encephalitis (TBE) can be prevented by vaccine. Vaccine failure, defined as a case of TBE regardless of previous vaccination, has been described and seems to be more predominant with increasing age, suggesting a less effective immune response following with increasing age. In fact previous studies has shown a reduced antibody response in elderly individuals compared to younger when vaccinated against TBE. As a result, in Sweden, an extra vaccine dose has been recommended during the primary vaccine schedule to individuals > 50 years of age. This alternative vaccine schedule has not been tested. The investigator aim to test if an extra vaccine dose in the primary vaccine schedule for those > 50 years of age improves the immune response and offers a corresponding immunity to younger individuals following TBE vaccination.
