Seroprevalence against Sars-CoV-2 after booster vaccination in a prison in Alicante (Spain)
Background: Confinement conditions in prison communities are associated with increased susceptibility to infectious outbreaks. The COVID-19 pandemic has been characterized by high transmissibility and clinical severity resulting in a high number of infections and deaths worldwide. Vaccination has been a crucial tool in mitigating its devastating effects. The aim of this study is to asses the prevalence of antibodies against the Spike protein of S…
Assessment of Sars-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody persistence using LFIC
The primary immunization against SARS-CoV-2 has yielded protection rates of up to 95%. The evolution of the original strain of SARS-CoV-2 towards emerging variants which have higher transmissibility, severity of disease and greater viral escape, have promoted the necessity of vaccine booster doses. The third dose of the vaccine provides protection, but its long-term durability remains uncertain. Our aim was to know the vaccine coverage at the Uni…

Validación del cuestionario sobre vacunas y reticencia a vacunarse en la Sociedad Española de Epidemiología
Confeccionar y validar una encuesta dirigida a profesionales de epidemiología para medir factores asociados a la reticencia vacunal. La reticencia a la vacunación se refiere al retraso en la aceptación o el rechazo de la vacunación a pesar de la disponibilidad de ella. La OMS la incluyó entre las diez amenazas a la salud global en 2019. En este marco conceptual propuesto por la OMS, un comité de seis expertos de la Sociedad Española de Epidemiolo…

An online questionnaire was divided into five sections: ( 1 ) demographic and professional data; ( 2 ) lab…
Hacia el control de la Covid-19 a través de la vacunación
En España se inició el programa de vacunación en un contexto de alta transmisión y baja disponibilidad de vacunas. El objetivo de este artículo es revisar el programa de vacunación frente a la COVID-19 (3-3-2022) y valorar los obstáculos, los desafíos y las oportunidades que plantea el control de esta enfermedad. Se dispone actualmente de cinco vacunas: dos basadas en la tecnología ARNm (Comirnaty® y Spikevax®), dos basadas en un vector no replic…
Acceptability of the Vaccine against Covid-19 in Spanish Health Sciences Students
Healthcare professionals must play an exemplary role in the field of vaccinology. It is convenient that they are trained during their time at university.

Spanish newsreel NO-DO (1943-1975). The diffusion of science as a legitimizing instrument of the Franco regime
The official NO-DO newsreels were screened in Spain on a weekly basis from 1943 to 1981. These official news and documentary programmes were compulsory in cinemas from the moment they were first produced until the end of the Francoist dictatorship (1975). NO-DO held an information monopoly and was used as the regime's propaganda tool to indoctrinate the population, building stories tailored to the regime's interests and masking social realities. …
Impact of a Gender-Neutral HPV Vaccination Program in Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM)
A major challenge in human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine programs is the universal gender-neutral recommendation, as well as estimation of its long-term effect. The objective of this study is to predict the added benefit of male vaccination, especially in men who have sex with men (MSM), and to analyze the impact of the program on society. We propose a mathematical model of the HPV infection based on a network paradigm. Data from Spain allowed con…
Seroprevalence Study and Cross-Sectional Survey on Covid-19 for a Plan to Reopen the University of Alicante (Spain)
The implementation of strategies to mitigate possible cases of COVID-19 were addressed at the University of Alicante for the safe reopening of the 2020/2021 academic year. To discover the prevalence of immunity against SARS-CoV-2, a study was designed using a rapid immunoassay test (carried out between 6 and 22 July 2020), and in addition a cross-sectional survey was conducted on risk factors, symptoms, predisposition for becoming vaccinated, and…
Willingness to Be Vaccinated against Covid-19 in Spain before the Start of Vaccination
Vaccine hesitancy has increased in the past few years, influenced by the socio-cultural differences, political populism, or concerns related to the effectiveness and safety of some vaccines, resulting a feeling of distrust. This feeling can become a barrier against the achievement of the immunity necessary to stop the expansion of COVID-19. The aim of this study was to evaluate the acceptance of the vaccine against COVID-19 in Spain, as well as t…
