Longitudinal association between parents’ reported vaccination program preferences and children’s actual immunization patterns in Shanghai, China
There were no associations between parents' reported preference categories and children's vaccination patterns. The high acceptance of combination vaccines and tolerance of co-administration gives parents choices for vaccination and impart increased confidence in including new vaccines in the vaccination program
Vaccine Hesitancy During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy among non-refugees and refugees in Kenya
Factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy (which we define as refusal to be vaccinated when asked, resulting in delayed or non- vaccination) are poorly studied in sub-Saharan Africa and among refugees, particularly in Kenya. Using survey data from wave five (March to June 2021) of the Kenya Rapid Response Phone Survey (RRPS), a household survey representative of the population of Kenya, we estimated the self-reported rates and factors as…
Vaccination coverage with the pneumococcal and influenza vaccine among persons with chronic diseases in Shanghai, China, 2017
We found low levels with of pneumococcal vaccination, and extremely low uptake of influenza vaccination among individuals with high risk conditions in Shanghai who should be priority groups targeted for vaccination. Interventions could be designed to target groups with low uptake - like younger adults, and individuals who have not yet retired
Factors Associated with Vaccination Status of Children Aged 12–48 Months in India, 2012–2013
Trends in childhood pneumococcal vaccine coverage in Shanghai, China, 2005–2011
There is a need for increasing overall pneumococcal coverage in Shanghai children, particularly with the more effective PCV7 vaccine. Morbidity and mortality due to invasive pneumococcal disease for children <1 year of age are unlikely to be mitigated if the current age-related vaccination patterns are not improved
Trends and Characteristics of the State and Local Public Health Workforce, 2010–2013
Objectives. We assessed state and local public health workforce characteristics by occupational category from 2010 to 2013. We also examined health department characteristics to determine whether workforce size and composition varied across these domains. Methods. We analyzed Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (2010, 2012) and National Association of County and City Health Officials (2010, 2013) profile study data, including 47…
Timely measles vaccination in Tianjin, China
When reviewing MCV coverage in China, most studies do not consider timeliness. However, this study shows that overall vaccination coverage can greatly overestimate vaccination coverage within certain segments of the population, such as young infants
Adolescent Immunization Coverage and Implementation of New School Requirements in Michigan, 2010
Objectives. We examined the effect of Michigan’s new school rules and vaccine coadministration on time to completion of all the school-required vaccine series, the individual adolescent vaccines newly required for sixth grade in 2010, and initiation of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine series, which was recommended but not required for girls. Methods. Data were derived from the Michigan Care Improvement Registry, a statewide Immunization Inf…
Assessing Integration of Clinical and Public Health Skills in Preventive Medicine Residencies
Objectives. We evaluated the utility of a competency mapping process for assessing the integration of clinical and public health skills in a newly developed Community Health Center (CHC) rotation at the University of Michigan School of Public Health Preventive Medicine residency. Methods. Learning objectives for the CHC rotation were derived from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education core clinical preventive medicine competenci…
Trends in Michigan Early Adolescent Immunization
Objectives. We have described vaccine coverage of Michigan young adolescents immunized with tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis; meningococcal conjugate; and human papillomavirus vaccines during 2006–2008. Methods. We obtained data from the Michigan Care Improvement Registry, a state-based immunization information system that included more than 57 million vaccination records. We examined 3 overlapping cohorts of 11- and 12-year-old children (n > 3…
Public Health Surveillance for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Objectives. We compared 3 methods for classifying methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections as health care associated or community associated for use in public health surveillance. Methods. We analyzed data on MRSA infections reported to the Michigan Department of Community Health from October 1, 2004, to December 31, 2005. Patient demographics, risk factors, infection information, and susceptibility were collected for 2151 ca…
Impact of PCV7 on Invasive Pneumococcal Disease Among Children Younger Than 5 Years
We examined the impact of the heptavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) on hospital discharge rates for invasive pneumococcal disease among Michigan children younger than 5 years old. After the introduction of PCV7, the hospital discharge rate for children younger than 1 years old was significantly lower than before introduction. We correlated the decreased rates with the introduction and rapid uptake of PCV7. Lack of change in the hospit…
Dispensation of emergency contraceptive pills in Michigan Title X clinics
OBJECTIVES: Emergency contraceptive pill dispensation was estimated in Michigan Title X family planning programs. METHODS: Logistic regression and tobit estimation models were used to predict whether and to what extent emergency contraceptive pills are dispensed. RESULTS: Of the 53 programs studies, 32 dispensed emergency contraceptive pills, averaging fewer than one client per month. Total dispensation was skewed toward a few programs, and the c…
