Abstract Background Immunizations are key to primary care for people with HIV (PWH). Unfortunately, immunization rates among PWH reportedly low. In addition patients’ preferences, limited time and acute issues, knowledge gap beliefs about vaccine clinicians could negatively impact their recommendations, which would ultimately affect uptake PWH. Table 1 Survey results perceived importance of vaccines interest in different age groups prior (pre-test) after (post-test) education session Methods...
Abstract Background Beginning in March 2021, Mexico vaccinated childcare workers with a single-dose CanSino Biologics (Adv5-nCoV) coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine. Although is currently approved for use 10 Latin American, Asian, and European countries, little information available about its vaccine effectiveness (VE). Methods We evaluated VE within worker cohort that included 1408 facilities. Participants were followed during March–December 2021 tested through severe acute...
While vaccination is the most effective way to prevent influenza infection and adverse outcomes, despite WHO recommendations vaccinate pregnant persons, access seasonal vaccines remains low. We explored knowledge, attitudes, practices of persons about inform actions improve vaccine uptake among this priority population.
Although healthcare personnel (HCP) are targeted for influenza vaccination they typically underutilize vaccines especially in low- and middle-income countries. We explored knowledge, attitudes, practices of HCP about seasonal (SIV) to identify factors associated with modifiable barriers SIV uptake.
Uncertainty about risk of illness and the value influenza vaccines negatively affects vaccine uptake among persons targeted for vaccination.
ABSTRACT Background Beginning in March 2021, Mexico vaccinated childcare workers with a single-dose CanSino Biologics (Adv5-nCoV) COVID-19 vaccine. Although is currently approved for use 10 Latin American, Asian, and European countries, little information available about its vaccine effectiveness (VE). Methods We evaluated VE within worker cohort that included 1,408 facilities. Participants were followed during March–December 2021 tested through SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR or rapid antigen test if...
Few studies have examined influenza vaccine effectiveness (VE) among women during pregnancy in middle-income countries. We used data from a prospective cohort of who were pregnant Peru to estimate the 2018 Southern Hemisphere vaccine. Women at <28 weeks gestation enrolled 4 tertiary level hospitals Lima, start season and followed until end their pregnancies. Participants had mid-turbinate nasal swabs collected tested for by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) with onset...

Abstract Background Guidelines recommend the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine for all adults through age 26, shared clinical decision-making those aged 27 45 years who are inadequately vaccinated, and people with HIV up to years. The intent of this study is evaluate HPV vaccination rates at Outpatient Program (HOP) University Medical Center in New Orleans. Methods Immunization records from patients 18 attending a physician visit LSU Infectious Diseases fellows’ primary care clinic HOP 2022...
Abstract Background BioFire® Blood Culture Identification 2 (BCID2) panel is a rapid multiplex polymerase chain reaction (rm-PCR) testing for 43 organisms associated with bloodstream infections and 10 antimicrobial resistance genes. Previous literature suggested combination of rm-PCR antibiotic stewardship program (ASP) would improve time to organism identification, optimal therapy, de-escalation antibiotics. Methods This study was retrospective at Touro Infirmary in New Orleans, Louisiana....
