Improving polio vaccination during supplementary campaigns at areas of mass transit in India
Analysis of vaccination data from transit sites can inform program management changes leading to improved outcomes in polio immunization campaigns. The number of vaccinated children encountered should be routinely recorded by transit teams and may provide a useful, inexpensive alternative mechanism to assess program coverage
Efficacy of Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccines and persistence of disease in disadvantaged populations. The Haemophilus Influenzae Study Group
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) conjugate vaccines among children aged 2 to 18 months and to determine risk factors for invasive Hib disease during a period of declining incidence (1991-1994). METHODS: A prospective population-based case-control study was conducted in a multistate US population of 15.5 million. A laboratory-based active surveillance system was used for…
Should college students be vaccinated against meningococcal disease? A cost-benefit analysis
Outbreaks and sporadic cases of meningococcal disease among college students have prompted consideration of a policy of routine vaccination for this group. Purchase and administration of the vaccine for routine vaccination would cost $56 million per year. Savings in medical care and indirect costs would not equal this amount unless the annual rate of disease among students is at least 6.5/100,000. The actual rate among students is unknown; howeve…
Cat scratch disease in the United States
OBJECTIVES. Current knowledge of the epidemiology of cat scratch disease is based primarily on information from case series. We used three national databases to obtain more representative data to determine the incidence and demographics of cat scratch disease. METHODS. Records coded with the diagnosis of cat scratch disease from two hospital discharge databases and an ambulatory care database were analyzed. Costs of diagnostic tests and hospitali…
Day care characteristics associated with Haemophilus influenzae disease. Haemophilus influenzae Study Group
To identify characteristics of day care facilities associated with H. influenzae disease, we compared 92 licensed facilities in which a case of H. influenzae disease had occurred with randomly selected facilities at which no cases occurred. Matched univariate analysis showed that personnel at facilities where H. influenzae disease occurred were more likely than those at control facilities to use towels or handkerchiefs to wipe children's noses, a…
