Abstract
Vaccine co-administration is a useful strategy for improving vaccine coverage and adherence. In Italy, an update to the national immunization program (NIP) in 2023 included recommendations for co-administration of pediatric vaccines, including the four-component vaccine for meningococcus B (4CMenB), pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV), hexavalent vaccines, and oral rotavirus vaccines. Safety is a major concern when considering vaccine co-administration; therefore, a literature review of the available evidence on 4CMenB co-administration with PCV, hexavalent/pentavalent, and rotavirus vaccines was performed. Of 763 publications screened, two studies were reviewed that reported safety data on 4CMenB co-administration with PCV, hexavalent/pentavalent, and rotavirus vaccines in infants aged 0-24 months. Overall, these studies supported that there were no significant safety signals when co-administering 4CMenB with PCV, hexavalent/pentavalent, and rotavirus vaccines, compared with individual vaccination. This review provides key insights for healthcare professionals on the tolerability of co-administering 4CMenB with routine vaccines.

Sun G, Wang G, Zhong H. Observational analysis of the immunogenicity and safety of various types of spinal muscular atrophy vaccines. Inflammopharmacology 2024; 32:1025-1038. [PMID: 38308795 DOI: 10.1007/s10787-023-01395-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/14/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of different types of poliovirus vaccines. METHODS A randomized, blinded, single-center, parallel-controlled design was employed, and 360 infants aged ≥ 2 months were selected as study subjects. They were randomly assigned to bOPV group (oral Sabin vaccine) and sIPV group (Sabin strain inactivated polio vaccine), with 180 infants in each group. Adverse reaction events in the vaccinated subjects were recorded. The micro-neutralization test using cell culture was conducted to determine the geometric mean titer (GMT) of neutralizing antibodies against poliovirus types I, II, and III in different groups, and the seroconversion rates were calculated. RESULTS Both groups exhibited a 100% seropositivity rate after booster immunization. The titers of neutralizing antibodies for the three types were predominantly distributed within the range of 1:128 to 1:512. The fold increase of type I antibodies differed markedly between the two groups (P < 0.05). Moreover, the fold increase of type II and type III antibodies for poliovirus differed slightly between the two groups (P > 0.05). The fourfold increase rate in sIPV group was drastically superior to that in bOPV group (P < 0.05). When comparing the post-immunization GMT levels of type I antibodies in individuals who completed the full course of spinal muscular atrophy vaccination, bOPV group showed greatly inferior levels to sIPV group (P < 0.05). For type II and type III antibodies, individuals in bOPV group demonstrated drastically superior post-immunization GMT levels to those in sIPV group (P < 0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions between the bOPV and sIPV groups differed slightly (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION These findings indicated that both the oral vaccine and inactivated vaccine had good safety and immunogenicity in infants aged ≥ 2 months. The sIPV group generated higher levels of neutralizing antibodies in serum, particularly evident in the post-immunization GMT levels for types II and III.

[PMID: 36448181 DOI: 10.1002/jmv.28358] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2022] [Revised: 11/14/2022] [Accepted: 11/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022]
Abstract
Combination vaccines can reduce the vaccination visit, simplify the vaccination schedule and efficiently improve management. This study was primarily designed to evaluate the economic impact of integrating the diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis inactivated poliomyelitis and Haemophilus influenzae type B (DTaP-IPV-Hib) combination vaccine into the China National Immunization Program. A cost-minimization analysis (CMA) compared the costs associated with direct medical, direct nonmedical, and indirect social costs in four schemes was conducted. A budgetary impact analysis assessed the alternative schemes' financial impact on the healthcare budget. Direct medical costs were extracted using a costing questionnaire and an observational time and motion chart. Direct nonmedical (cost for transportation) and indirect costs (loss of productivity) were derived from parents' questionnaires. Replacement of the current vaccination scheme with DTaP-IPV-Hib combination vaccine, resulted in net increases in direct medical costs of 77.64% for alternative scheme 1, 146.54% for alternative scheme 2, and 294.67% for alternative scheme 3, respectively. However, the direct nonmedical and indirect costs and the cost of the alternative schemes were 18.18%, 36.36%, and 63.64% lower than the current scheme for alternative scheme 1, alternative scheme 2, and alternative scheme 3, respectively. From the societal perspective, when compared with the current scheme, the budgetary impact of the three alternative schemes were +66 million Chinese Yuan (CNY) (4.81%), +103 million CNY (7.53%), and +305million CNY (22.35%), respectively. The CMA considered a broader perspective of social costs and indicated that the alternative schemes would result in an overall saving of parents' transportation and work loss costs to bring their children for vaccination, translating into a total cost saving of 18.18%, 36.36%, 63.64%, comparing to the current scheme. Thus, fully or partly using the DTaP-IPV-Hib combination vaccine is cost-saving in the context of China.
