COVID-19 vaccines have proven effective against severe outcomes in many settings, yet vaccine effectiveness (VE) estimates remain lacking for Kosovo. We aimed to estimate VE infections, hospitalisations, and deaths one two doses during the fourth pandemic wave July-September 2021, period when vaccination initially became widely available.
The burden of an HIV epidemic in Kosovo lies among the key populations (KPs) female sex workers (FSWs), men who have with (MSM), and people inject drugs (PWIDs). available interventions for KPs are fragmented lack sufficient appropriate granularity information needed to develop large-scale outreach programs.The aim this study was estimate size distribution these create evidence developing action plans prevention.The programmatic mapping approach used collect systematic from informants,...

Here we analyzed six years of acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) surveillance, from 2015 to 2020, 10 countries linked the WHO Regional Reference Laboratory, at Istituto Superiore di Sanità, Italy. The analysis also comprises polio vaccine coverage available (2015-2019) and enterovirus (EV) identification typing data. Centralized Information System for Infectious Diseases Laboratory Data Management databases were used obtain data on AFP indicators laboratory performance countries' 2019. EV...
