Influenza Vaccination Vaccine effectiveness Health policy Journal article Tick-borne encephalitis in the Åland Islands, Finland: incidence and disease course since the implementation of a general TBE vaccination programme https://globalinfectiousdisease.com/research/articles/10-1080-22221751-2026-2640705-257a6234/ https://globalinfectiousdisease.com/research/articles/10-1080-22221751-2026-2640705-257a6234/ Wed, 08 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT The findings suggest that the Åland vaccination programme may have prevented an increase in TBE incidence seen in neighboring regions. The substantial proportion of breakthrough infections, particularly among incompletely vaccinated persons, highlights the importance of complete vaccination schedules for effective protection against severe TBE.

Influenza SARS COVID-19 Surveillance Climate and environment Vaccination Journal article A global perspective of vaccination of healthcare personnel against measles: Systematic review https://globalinfectiousdisease.com/research/articles/10-1016-j-vaccine-2013-11-005-64b130bf/ https://globalinfectiousdisease.com/research/articles/10-1016-j-vaccine-2013-11-005-64b130bf/ Fri, 01 Aug 2014 00:00:00 GMT The review identifies gaps in vaccination policies and implementation that pose risks to both healthcare personnel and patients. Establishing measles vaccination policies for healthcare personnel is highlighted as an important strategy toward achieving measles elimination and should be a priority for global policy setting groups, governments, and hospitals.
