Hepatitis A is a vaccine-preventable disease typically acquired through fecal-oral transmission. virus (HAV) infection rates in the United States declined approximately 97% during 1995-2015 after introduction and widespread pediatric use of hepatitis vaccines (1). Since 2016, outbreaks have been reported 37 states, involving 44,650 cases, 27,250 hospitalizations, 415 deaths as September 23, 2022 (2). report describing early four states 2017 noted that most infections occurred among persons...
In 2010, 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) was introduced in the US for prevention of invasive disease children. Individual-level socioeconomic status (SES) is a potential confounder estimated effectiveness PCV13 and often controlled observational studies using zip code as proxy. We assessed utility matching control SES post-licensure evaluation (calculated [1-matched odds ratio]*100). used directed acyclic graph to identify subsets confounders collected variables from birth...
On June 26, 2017, a hospital in southern Utah notified the Department of Health Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) O157:H7 infections two children from small community on Arizona-Utah border.

Although chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection results in substantial morbidity and mortality, many cases are undiagnosed reporting to public health is often incomplete. To determine how well surveillance data documents deaths due HCV, we linked reported HCV death certificate records. Electronic record linkage found 346 an additional 254 persons were identified as having a cause of that had never been health. These suggest enhanced needed allow for more accurate representation prevalence...
