Previous reports of COVID-19 case, hospitalization, and death rates by vaccination status
Higher COVID-19 incidence and mortality rates in rural than urban areas are well documented (1). These disparities persisted during the B.1.617.2 (Delta) B.1.1.529 (Omicron) variant surges late 2021 early 2022 (1,2). Rural populations tend to be older (aged ≥65 years) uninsured more likely have underlying medical conditions live farther from facilities that provide tertiary care, placing them at higher risk for adverse outcomes (2). To better understand vaccination between populations, CDC...
<h3>Importance</h3> The number of SARS-CoV-2 infections and COVID-19–associated hospitalizations deaths prevented among vaccinated persons, independent the effect reduced transmission, is a key measure vaccine impact. <h3>Objective</h3> To estimate adults in US. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> In this modeling study, multiplier model was used to extrapolate from data on stratified by state, month, age group (18-49, 50-64, ≥65 years) US December 1, 2020, September 30, 2021. These...
COVID-19 vaccine booster doses are safe and maintain protection after receipt of a primary vaccination series reduce the risk for serious COVID-19-related outcomes, including emergency department visits, hospitalization, death (1,2). CDC recommended an updated (bivalent) adolescents aged 12-17 years adults ≥18 on September 1, 2022 (3). The bivalent is formulated to protect against Omicron BA.4 BA.5 subvariants SARS-CoV-2 as well original (ancestral) strain Based data collected during October...
§ A VDPV is a strain related to the attenuated live poliovirus contained in OPV.VDPV2s are OPV virus strains that >0.6%divergent (or at least six nucleotide changes) from OPV2 complete VP1 genomic region.https://polioeradication.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/ Reporting-and-Classification-of-VDPVs_Aug2016_EN.pdf ¶ The term PV2, referring all serotype 2 polioviruses, used throughout report indicate either confirmed VDPV2 or type Sabin-like genetically Rockland County patient.A one of Sabin...
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends a COVID-19 vaccine booster dose all persons >18 years of age. We analyzed data from the National Immunization Survey-Adult COVID Module collected during February 27-March 26, 2022 to assess vaccination coverage among adults. used multivariable logistic regression analysis factors associated with vaccination. fully vaccinated adults increased 25.7% in November 2021 63.4% March 2022. Coverage was lower non-Hispanic Black (52.7%),...
Although severe COVID-19 illness and hospitalization are more common among older adults, children can also be affected (1). More than 3 million cases of had been reported infants aged <5 years (children) as December 2, 2022 (2). One in four hospitalized with required intensive care; 21.2% COVID-19-related multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) occurred 1-4 years, 3.2% MIS-C <1 year (1,3). On June 17, 2022, the Food Drug Administration issued an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) Moderna...
Vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) is highly effective at preventing hospitalization due to infection and booster additional primary dose COVID-19 vaccinations increase protection (1-3). During August-November 2021, a series of Emergency Use Authorizations recommendations, including those for an immunocompromised persons aged ≥18 years, were approved because reduced immunogenicity in persons, waning vaccine effectiveness over time, the introduction transmissible...
We analyzed first-dose coronavirus disease vaccination coverage among US children 5-11 years of age during November-December 2021. Pediatric varied widely by jurisdiction, group, and race/ethnicity, lagged behind for adolescents aged 12-15 the first 2 months vaccine rollout.
Immunizations are an important tool to reduce the burden of vaccine preventable diseases and improve population health.1 High-quality immunization data is essential inform clinical public health interventions respond outbreaks vaccine-preventable diseases. To track COVID-19 vaccines vaccinations, CDC established integrated network that included vaccination provider systems, information exchange pharmacy dialysis ordering electronic records, tools support mass clinics. All these systems...
To identify demographic factors associated with delaying or not receiving a second dose of the 2-dose primary mRNA COVID-19 vaccine series, we matched 323 million single Pfizer-BioNTech (https://www.pfizer.com) and Moderna (https://www.modernatx.com) administration records from 2021 determined whether doses were delayed missed. We used 2 sets logistic regression models to examine factors. Overall, 87.3% recipients received timely (≤42 days between first dose), 3.4% (>42 9.4% missed dose....
Background In the United States, national ecological studies suggest a positive impact of COVID-19 vaccination coverage on outcomes in adults. However, program children remains unknown. To determine association with U.S. case incidence, emergency department visits, and hospital admissions for pediatric populations during Delta Omicron periods. Methods We conducted an analysis among aged 5–17 compared incidence rate ratios (RRs) cases, by vaccine coverage, jurisdictions highest quartile as...
Abstract A tree model identified adults age ≤34 years, Johnson & primary series recipients, people from racial/ethnic minority groups, residents of nonlarge metro areas, and those living in socially vulnerable communities the South as less likely to be boosted. These findings can guide clinical/public health outreach toward specific subpopulations.
Abstract Background On July 18, 2022, a case of paralytic polio was reported in person from Rockland County, New York. In August the proportion children County with 3 doses vaccine by age two 60.3%. That month, York State, and CDC initiated campaign to conduct physician-mediated patient outreach improve Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV) coverage County. Methods We contacted 38 Vaccines for Children enrolled providers, serving patients aged 3-60 months who were overdue vaccinations, send...
