Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients on JAK inhibitors (JAKi) have an increased HZ risk compared to those biologic DMARDs (bDMARDs). Recently, the Adjuvanted Recombinant Zoster Vaccine (RZV) became available worldwide, showing good effectiveness in with inflammatory arthritis. Nevertheless, direct evidence of immunogenicity such a vaccine JAKi or anti-cellular bDMARDs is still lacking. This prospective study aimed assess RZV and safety RA receiving that are known lead impaired immune response....
Vaccine hesitancy is a multi-faceted phenomenon, deeply rooted in cultural, socioeconomic and personal background. Communication deemed fundamental fighting vaccine hesitancy. Medical communication should be accessible, relying both on an emotional approach accurate information. Trained professionals curate with the public.
Since 2021 a recombinant adjuvanted anti-Herpes Zoster vaccine(Recombinant Vaccine, RZV) is offered in Italy to high-risk patients. Few real-life data about RZV safety are available target populations.

Objective Splenectomised/asplenic patients have a 10–50 fold higher risk than the general population of developing overwhelming postsplenectomy infection. To control this risk, these to receive specific immunisation schedule, before or in 2 weeks after surgical intervention. The study aims estimate vaccine coverage (VC) for recommended vaccines among splenectomised Apulia (South Italy), and define determinants vaccination uptake population. Design Retrospective cohort study. Setting Apulia,...

The four-component recombinant-DNA anti-meningococcus B vaccine (4CMenB) has been approved by the European Medicines Agency in 2013. In Italy, 4CMenB is recommended since 2017 for use infants under one year of age. Due to strong evidence increased risk fever after administration, surveillance adverse events following immunization (AEFIs) a priority 4CMenB. This cross-sectional prospective study aims at investigating 4CMenB's safety profile. population represented twelve months age vaccinated...
Introduction Among adverse events following immunization (AEFIs), allergic reactions elicit the most concern, as they are often unpredictable and can be life-threatening. Their estimates range from one in 1,000,000 to 50,000 vaccine doses. This report describes reported 2020 2021 Puglia, a region South-East of Italy with around 4 million inhabitants. Its main objective is describe safety profile currently employed vaccines. Materials methods retrospective observational study. The study...
