Active vaccine safety surveillance
Although active vaccine safety surveillance (VSS) can complement passive VSS while overcoming the inherent limitations of spontaneous safety monitoring, it remains rare in sub-Saharan Africa. We conducted post-authorization active VSS of COVID-19 vaccines in Kilifi, Kenya using a cohort event monitoring study design. Participants were followed weekly over 13 weeks for adverse events. A subset was followed daily for one week for solicited systemic…
The impact of 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine on the incidence of admissions to hospital with hypoxaemic and non-hypoxaemic pneumonia in Kenyan children
Observational evidence suggests that pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) are more effective at reducing the incidence of hypoxaemic pneumonia compared to non-hypoxaemic pneumonia. We examined the impact of 10-valent PCV (PCV10, Synflorix) on hypoxaemic pneumonia hospital admissions using data from an existing PCV impact study of clinical and radiographic pneumonia. PCV10 was introduced, with catch-up among children under 5 years, in the Kilifi…
Sars-CoV-2 seroprevalence in three Kenyan health and demographic surveillance sites, December 2020-May 2021
Background Most of the studies that have informed the public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Kenya have relied on samples that are not representative of the general population. We conducted population-based serosurveys at three Health and Demographic Surveillance Systems (HDSSs) to determine the cumulative incidence of infection with SARS-CoV-2. Methods We selected random age-stratified population-based samples at HDSSs in Kisumu, Nai…
Impact of mobile phone delivered reminders and unconditional incentives on measles-containing vaccine timeliness and coverage
INTRODUCTION: Short message service (SMS) reminders coupled with a small monetary incentive conditioned on prompt vaccination have been shown to improve first-dose measles-containing vaccine (MCV1) uptake. We assessed whether SMS reminders and unconditional monetary incentives-more amenable to programmatic implementation-can improve MCV1 uptake in Kenya. METHODS: Caregivers of eligible infants aged 6-8 months were enrolled into an individually ra…
