Vaccination reaction rate is unaltered by ambient temperature on the day.

ABSTRACT: Minor reactions are often experienced following the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination and negative vaccination experiences may discourage individuals from seeking future vaccinations. Ambient temperature is suggested to be linked to reaction rates. Optimising immunisation programs requires understanding associations of temperature and reactions. To investigate a potential association between temperature and reactions, logistic regressions were performed on data obtained for a two-year period from a vaccine safety monitoring system for children (ages 10-15 years) who received the HPV vaccination (n = 20466) and from publicly available meteorological records in Australia. Reaction rate was 8.3% overall and higher with concomitant vaccination versus HPV alone (9.3% vs 7.8%, p=<0.001). Logistic regression found no relationship between reactions and maximal temperature on the day of vaccination (p = 0.581); controlling for concomitant vaccination, age and gender did not alter the temperature-reaction relationship (p = 0.851) but did identify concomitant vaccination as a significant predictor. Our results suggest immunisation programs must weigh the advantages of improved vaccination coverage resulting from concomitant vaccination against an increase in reaction rates and, importantly, can be safely administered across a range of temperatures.

Project description:Local adaptation and its underlying molecular basis has long been a key focus in evolutionary biology. There has recently been increased interest in the evolutionary role of plasticity and the molecular mechanisms underlying local adaptation. Using transcriptome analysis, we assessed differences in gene expression profiles for three brown trout (Salmo trutta) populations, one resident and two anadromous, experiencing different temperature regimes in the wild. The study was based on an F2 generation raised in a common garden setting. A previous study of the F1 generation revealed different reaction norms and significantly higher QST than FST among populations for two early life-history traits. In the present study we investigated if similar reaction norm patterns were present at the transcriptome level. Eggs from the three populations were incubated at two temperatures (5 and 8 degrees C) representing conditions encountered in the local environments. Global gene expression for fry at the stage of first feeding was analysed using a 32k cDNA microarray. The results revealed differences in gene expression between populations and temperatures and population × temperature interactions, the latter indicating locally adapted reaction norms. Moreover, the reaction norms paralleled those observed previously at early life-history traits. We were able to identify 90 cDNA clones among the genes with an interaction effect that were differently expressed between the ecologically divergent populations. These included genes involved in immune- and stress response. We observed less plasticity in the resident as compared to the anadromous populations, possibly reflecting that the degree of environmental heterogeneity encountered by individuals throughout their life cycle will select for variable level of phenotypic plasticity at the transcriptome level. Our study demonstrates the usefulness of transcriptome approaches to identify genes with different temperature reaction norms. The responses observed suggest that populations may vary in their susceptibility to climate change.
