Exploring the \u201cUrban Advantage\u201d in Access to Immunization Services: A Comparison of Zero-Dose Prevalence Between Rural, and Poor and Non-poor Urban Households Across 97 Low- and Middle-Income Countries<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study used data from nationally representative household surveys of 97 LMICs to investigate 201,283 children aged 12\u201323 months and compare the prevalence of zero-dose children in poor and non-poor urban and rural areas of low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The pooled prevalence of zero-dose children was 6.5% among the urban non-poor, 12.6% for the urban poor, and 14.7% for the rural areas. There were significant differences between these areas in 43 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effect of an HPV Vaccination Multi-Level, Multi-Component Program on HPV Vaccination Initiation and Completion in a Pediatric Clinic Network<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interventions targeting multi-level determinants of vaccination behavior are crucial for improving HPV vaccination rates. The study aimed to implement and evaluate the adapted Adolescent Vaccination Program (AVP), a clinic-based, multi-level, multi-component intervention to increase HPV vaccine initiation and completion rates in a five-clinic pediatric network in Bexar County, Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The findings indicated that the AVP improved HPV vaccination initiation and completion rates in clinic settings and that AVP strategies facilitated resilience during the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on routine childhood vaccination in 9 U.S. jurisdictions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of December 31, 2022, 71.0% and 71.3% of children born in 2016 and 2017, respectively, were up to date on their routine vaccinations by two years of age compared to 69.1%, 64.7%, and 60.6% for children born in 2018, 2019, and 2020, respectively. There was a slight but steady decrease in vaccination coverage prior to the pandemic, but the percentage of children up to date on routine vaccinations declined markedly during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use of Adjuvanted Quadrivalent Influenza Vaccine in Older-Age Adults: A Systematic Review of Economic Evidence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This study reports the results of a systematic review of the cost-effectiveness of aQIV among older persons (those aged 65 and over) with weaker immune systems. 10 full-text papers included were modeling studies and exhibited heterogeneity in approach, perspective, and parameter estimation. There is a broad consensus on the cost-effectiveness of aQIV in this population group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
