Factors Influencing Persistence of Diphtheria Immunity and Immune Response to a Booster Dose in Healthy Slovak Adults.

ABSTRACT: We assessed the long-term persistence of humoral immunity against diphtheria in adults with childhood vaccination and the immunogenicity of a booster dose considering demographic, behavioural and vaccinating factors. We conducted a trial in 200 healthy Slovak adults aged 24-65 years, immunised against diphtheria in childhood and against tetanus at regular 10-15 year intervals, and receiving a dose of a tetanus-diphtheria toxoid vaccine. The response was determined by ELISA antibody concentrations of paired sera before and at 4 weeks post-vaccination. A seroprotection rate of 21% (95% confidence interval, CI 15.6-27.3%) was found in adults up to 59 years since the last vaccination with seroprotective levels of antibodies against diphtheria ?0.1 IU/mL and a geometric mean concentration of 0.05 IU/mL. Conversely, seropositive levels ?0.01 IU/mL were observed in 98% of adults (95% CI 95-99.5%). Booster-induced seroprotection was achieved in 78% of adults (95% CI 71.6-83.5%) clearly depending on pre-booster antibody levels correlating with age and time since the last vaccination. Moreover, only 54.2% of smokers and 53.3% of patients on statins exhibited seroprotection. Booster vaccination against diphtheria was unable to confer seroprotection in all recipients of only childhood vaccination.

Project description:BackgroundCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) causes more deaths in older adults than in younger adults. Older adults are a vulnerable group with a high need for coronavirus vaccines to decrease the severity of the disease. The aim of this analytical cross-sectional study was to determine the factors influencing third COVID-19 vaccine booster dose acceptance among older adults in northern Thailand.MethodsThe study samples were composed of 2,155 older adults living in Kamphaeng Phet Province, northern Thailand. They were randomly selected by multistage random sampling. Data were collected in a self-administered questionnaire consisting of 7 parts: (1) personal factors, (2) knowledge about COVID-19, (3) perceived susceptibility to COVID-19 infection, (4) perceived severity of COVID-19, (5) perceived benefits of the third COVID-19 vaccine booster dose, (6) perceived barriers to the third COVID-19 vaccine booster dose vaccination, and (7) the third COVID-19 vaccine booster dose acceptance. Data were analyzed via frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and binary logistic regression. All the significance levels were set to 0.05.ResultsThe results indicated that only 28.5% of older adults accepted the third COVID-19 vaccine booster dose. The factors influencing third COVID-19 vaccine booster dose acceptance among older adults included 5 variables. The participants aged ≥ 70 years was 1.37 times (95%CI = 1.12-1.69) greater than those aged < 70 years who accepted the vaccine. Participants who were married were more likely to accept the vaccine by 1.39 times (95%CI = 1.09-1.79) compared with single individuals. Those with underlying diseases tended to accept the vaccine by 1.56 times (95%CI = 1.26-1.92) more than those without underlying diseases. Those who had high perceived benefit from the COVID-19 vaccine possibly accepted the vaccine by 1.50 times (95%CI = 1.10-2.04) more than those with low perceived benefit, and those who had a low perceived barrier to the third COVID-19 booster dose vaccination seemed to accept the vaccine by 1.29 times (95%CI = 1.01-1.52) more than those with a high perceived benefit.ConclusionOlder adults should receive health education regarding the perceived benefit of the COVID-19 vaccine and the perceived barrier to COVID-19 vaccination, especially older adults aged < 70 years, those who are single, and those who are free of underlying diseases.

Project description:AimTo evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of a booster dose of live attenuated varicella vaccine (VarV) manufactured by Sinovac (Dalian) Vaccine Technology Co. Ltd., and the immune persistence of a primary dose in 2- to 6-year-old children.MethodsA phase IV, open-label study was conducted in China. Children previously vaccinated with a single dose of VarV at 1~3 years old received one dose of homologous VarV in the first year, the second year, or the third year after the primary immunization as booster immunization. Immune persistence was evaluated in an immune persistence analysis set, while immunogenicity was evaluated in a per-protocol analysis set, and safety was evaluated in a safety analysis set. The primary endpoint was the seropositive rate and the seroconversion rate of VarV antibody. The trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02981836).ResultsFrom July 2018 to August 2020, a total of 849 vaccinated children received the booster vaccination of VarV, one booster dose for each child (301 vaccinated in the first year after primary immunization (Group 1), 276 vaccinated in the second year after primary immunization (Group 2), 272 vaccinated in the third year after primary immunization (Group 3)). The seropositive rates were 99.34%, 97.83%, and 98.16% in Groups 1-3, with GMTs of 1:22.56, 1:18.49, and 1:18.45, respectively. Thirty days after the vaccine booster dose, the seropositive rates of the three groups were all 100% and the seroconversion rates were 52.54%, 67.46%, and 66.67%, with GMTs of 1:68.49, 1:76.32 and 1:78.34, respectively. The seroconversion rates in Groups 2 and 3 were both higher than that in Group 1 (p = 0.0005 and p = 0.0008). The overall incidence of adverse reactions was 7.77%, with 7.64%, 8.33%, and 7.35% in Groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The main symptom among adverse reactions was fever, the incidence of which ranged from 5.07% to 6.64% in each group, and no vaccine-related serious adverse events occurred.ConclusionsVarV had good immune persistence in 1~3 years after primary immunization. A vaccine booster dose for children aged 1~3 years after primary immunization recalled specific immune response to varicella-zoster virus, with no safety concerns increased.
