The Global COVID Vaccine Safety (GCoVS) Project, established in 2021 under the multinational Data Network™ (GVDN®), facilitates comprehensive assessment of vaccine safety. This study aimed to evaluate risk adverse events special interest (AESI) following COVID-19 vaccination from 10 sites across eight countries. Using a common protocol, this observational cohort compared observed with expected rates 13 selected AESI neurological, haematological, and cardiac outcomes. Expected were obtained...

Design: The sample comprised a national cross-section 14–15 year olds with two measures three outcome measures. were initiation, experimenting or current Results: Compared visiting stores less often than weekly, greater frequency store visits was related increased odds being susceptible (daily visits, adjusted OR 1.8, 95% CI 1.6 2.2) 2.7, 2.4 3.1)....
Objectives Actively recruit and intensively follow pregnant women receiving a dose of acellular pertussis vaccine for 4 weeks after vaccination. Design settings A prospective observational study conducted in 2 New Zealand regions. Participants Women their 28th–38th week pregnancy, recruited from primary care antenatal clinics at the time Tdap administration. Telephone interviews were 48 h postvaccination. Main outcomes measures Outcomes injection site reactions, systemic symptoms serious...
Forecasting surges in hospital admissions caused by severe respiratory infections is of crucial importance during the winter season to enable proactive management and timely decision-making prevent healthcare system overload. As time series derived from surveillance systems for these cases are sparse encode weak seasonality patterns, machine learning key computing accurate forecasts. The most recent algorithmic advance forecasting adaptation generative pre-trained transformers (GPTs). Those...
An increasing number of people are using the Internet, in many instances unaware information being collected about them. In contrast, other concerned privacy and security issues limiting their use abstaining from purchasing products online. Businesses should be aware that consumers looking for protection a statement can help to ease consumers' concerns. New Zealand based Web sites expected have statements on under Privacy Act 1993. The incidence gathered is examined. particular, utilizing...
Migrants may experience immunisation inequities compared with the host population related to barriers accessing immunisations in their home countries, while migrating and/or post-arrival. This retrospective cohort study explored vaccination rates among migrant and non-migrant children New Zealand (NZ). Linked de-identified data from various government sources 1 January 2006 31 December 2015 were analysed using Statistic NZ's Integrated Data Infrastructure. Vaccination between three cohorts...
In New Zealand, approximately half reported pertussis cases are adult. Studies indicate underestimated burden in this population and probable reservoir for childhood pertussis. Pertussis is linked to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) development increased risk with pre-existing COPD. While acellular vaccines available adults, data on adults association COPD remain limited. To estimate incidence Zealand adult health service user (HSU) aged ≥ 18 between 2008–2019 inform vaccination...
ABSTRACT Background Changes in the epidemiology of illnesses caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection following COVID‐19 pandemic are reported. The New Zealand (NZ) situation was unique; RSV community transmission eliminated with 2020 border closure, a rapid and large increase hospitalizations relaxation social isolation measures opening an exclusive Australia. Methods This active population‐based surveillance compared age‐specific incidence seasonality RSV‐associated Auckland,...
Hospitalization rates for infectious diseases in New Zealand (NZ) children have increased since 1989. The highest burden is among Māori and Pacific children, the most socioeconomically deprived. introduced pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV)7 June 2008, PCV10 2011, PCV13 2014. A retrospective cohort study of NZ aged <6 years between 2006 2015 was performed using administrative databases.

Reduction of the availability tobacco has been proposed as a means reducing and denormalising use. Some retailers have stopped selling tobacco. Therefore, we investigated how willing New Zealand convenience store owners were to stop or sell nicotine replacement therapy. Promotion their stores was offered an incentive tobacco.We asked in Auckland metropolitan region choose one three actions. The first for short period time; second restrict hours that they sold tobacco; third display All...
Prediction of the progression an infectious disease outbreak is important for planning and coordinating a response. Differential equations are often used to model epidemic outbreak's behaviour but challenging parameterise. Furthermore, these models can suffer from misspecification, which biases predictions parameter estimates. Stochastic help with misspecification even more expensive simulate perform inference with. Here, we develop explicitly likelihood-based variation generalised profiling...
