An unconventional vaccination strategy against influenza viruses from humans and swine
Influenza is not a single virus, but a collection of subtypes broken down into many different strains. Ordinary flu vaccines can only protect against a small proportion of these. Here, we obtained a surprisingly broad protection by sequential vaccination of pigs with highly diverse “H1N1” strains.
Geographical variation and associated factors of childhood measles vaccination in Ethiopia: a spatial and multilevel analysis
In Ethiopia, the spatial pattern of MCV1 coverage is vital. It reveals geographic disparities and high-risk, under-vaccinated clusters. Understanding this helps target interventions, prevent deadly measles outbreaks, boost child survival, and ensure equitable protection for vulnerable populations.
