PMID: 33255767
Vaccines (Basel). 2020 Nov 25;8(4). doi: 10.3390/vaccines8040705.

Missed opportunities for vaccination (MOV) may be among the factors responsible for suboptimal vaccination coverage in South Africa. However, the magnitude and determinants of MOV in the country are not known. Thus, this study seeks to assess the prevalence...

Vaccines for preventing rotavirus diarrhoea: vaccines in use.

The Cochrane database of systematic reviews

BACKGROUND: Rotavirus is a common cause of diarrhoea, diarrhoea-related hospital admissions, and diarrhoea-related deaths worldwide. Rotavirus vaccines prequalified by the World Health Organization (WHO) include Rotarix (GlaxoSmithKline), RotaTeq (Merck), and, more recently, Rotasiil (Serum Institute of India Ltd.), and...

Taking stock of global immunisation coverage progress: the gains, the losses and the journey ahead.

International health
