Brazil started the COVID-19 mass vaccination in January 2021 with CoronaVac and ChAdOx1, followed by BNT162b2 Ad26.COV2.S vaccines. By end of 2021, more than 317 million vaccine doses were administered adult population. This study aimed at estimating effectiveness primary series booster shots protecting against severe cases deaths during first year vaccination.A cohort dataset over 158 records linked from official national registries was analyzed via a mixed-effects Poisson model, adjusted...
Abstract Background As controlling malaria transmission remains a public-health challenge in the Brazilian Amazon basin, National Surveillance System for Malaria (SIVEP-MALARIA) has registered notifications over fifteen years helping decision-making on control and elimination. surveillance database, system is prone to reporting delays, knowledge about patterns essential decisions. Methods This study contains an analysis of temporal state trends times total 1,580,617 individual reports from...
The evidence of seasonal patterns in malaria epidemiology the Brazilian Amazon basin indicates need for a thorough investigation seasonality this last and heterogeneous region. Additionally, since these are linked to climate variables, models should also incorporate them. This study applies wavelet analysis incidence data from 2003 2020 Epidemiological Surveillance System Malaria (SIVEP-Malaria) database. A mathematical model with climate-dependent parametrization is proposed counts cases...
COVID-19 vaccination in Brazil required a phased program, with priorities for age groups, health workers, and vulnerable people. Social distancing isolation interventions have been essential to mitigate the advance of pandemic several countries. We developed mathematical model capable capturing dynamics SARS-CoV-2 dissemination aligned social distancing, measures, vaccination. Surveillance data from city Rio de Janeiro provided case study analyze possible scenarios, including...
Summary The perspective of vaccination to protect human population from infection SARS-CoV-2 virus has great potential control the pandemic. Nevertheless, vaccine planning requires phased introduction with age groups, health workers, and vulnerable people. We developed a mathematical model capable capturing dynamics dissemination aligned social distancing, isolation measures, vaccination. city Rio de Janeiro provides case study analyze possible scenarios including non–pharmaceutical...
<title>Abstract</title> The current evidence of seasonality effects in the malaria epidemiology Brazilian Amazon Basin indicates need for a rigorous examination such large geographical area. Furthermore, as seasonal are related to climate variables, models should incorporate these effects. This study applies wavelet analysis over incidence data SIVEP-malaria surveillance database. A mathematical model with climate-dependent parameterization is proposed counts cases time based on notification...
