Optimising the timing of whoopingcoughimmunisation in mums (OpTIMUM) through investigating pertussisvaccination in pregnancy: an open-label, equivalence, randomised controlled trial. Pertussisvaccination in pregnancy is recommended in many countries to provide protection to young infants. The best timing for this vaccination is uncertain. In the UK, vaccination is recommended between 16 weeks and 32 weeks of gestation. In this trial we aimed to investigate the equivalence of three time periods for pertussisvaccination in pregnancy. In this open-label, equivalence, randomised controlled trial to investigate equivalence of different time windows for pertussisvaccination in pregnancy, participants were randomly assigned (1:1:1 ratio) to receive a pertussis-containing vaccine (Boostrix

Immunogenicity and safety of BPZE1, an intranasal live attenuated pertussisvaccine, versus tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussisvaccine: a randomised, double-blind, phase 2b trial. Bordetella pertussis epidemics persist as transmission remains unabated despite high acellular pertussisvaccination rates. BPZE1, a live attenuated intranasal pertussisvaccine, was designed to prevent B pertussis infection and disease. We aimed to assess the immunogenicity and safety of BPZE1 compared with the tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussisvaccine (Tdap). In this double-blind, phase 2b trial at three research centres in the USA, healthy adults aged 18-50 years were randomly assigned (2:2:1:1) via a permuted block randomisation schedule to receive BPZE1 vaccination followed by BPZE1 attenuated challenge
Immunogenicity, reactogenicity, and IgE-mediated immune responses of a mixed whole-cell and acellular pertussisvaccine schedule in Australian infants: A randomised, double-blind, noninferiority trial In many countries, infant vaccination with acellular pertussis (aP) vaccines has replaced use of more reactogenic whole-cell pertussis (wP) vaccines. Based on immunological and epidemiological
Promotion and COVID-19 lockdown increase uptake of funded maternal pertussisvaccination in pharmacy: A mixed methods study. Pertussisvaccination is recommended during pregnancy to protect the baby. Pertussisvaccination was initially free to pregnant people through general practice and hospitals in New Zealand, but uptake was suboptimal. In one district funding of maternal pertussisvaccination was widened to community pharmacies in 2016. Eighteen months later promotion to pharmacies, midwives and pregnant people took place. In 2020 and 2021, COVID-19 lockdowns occurred. To explore the effects of promotion and COVID-19 lockdowns on uptake of funded maternal pertussisvaccination in pharmacy, and awareness, use and opinions of promotional elements. Five years of pharmacy claims data
The association of public health interventions regarding both infant sleep position and pertussisimmunization with sudden infant death syndrome rates: an ecological study. Infections may play a role in the etiology of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), with Bordetella pertussis being a potential agent. The objective was to analyze the association of SIDS and infant pertussis hospitalization
What Is the Impact of Maternal PertussisImmunization in Pregnancy on the Quantity, Quality and Longevity of Infant Vaccine Responses?: A Review of the Current Evidence. Immunizing pregnant women against pertussis has been a powerful tool adopted in many countries to effectively reduce morbidity and mortality from whooping cough in young infants when they are most vulnerable to complications of pertussisvaccination during pregnancy not only on the quantity but also the quality and longevity of the infant's antibody responses to pertussis and non-pertussis-related vaccine antigens in the primary immunization series. We will discuss the underlying mechanisms proposed to explain how maternal antibodies may have a modulating effect, and the existing data across different settings on whether
Infant Responses to Primary Immunization Following Vaccination in Pregnancy With Varying Doses of Recombinant Acellular PertussisVaccine Alone or Combined With Tetanus-Diphtheria. Vaccination in pregnancy with recombinant pertussisvaccine results in similar or higher antibody levels in infants compared with chemically detoxified acellular pertussisvaccine (Tdapchem). We evaluated antibody responses to primary childhood vaccination in infants born to mothers vaccinated in pregnancy with recombinant pertussisvaccine containing 1, 2 or 5 µg genetically detoxified pertussis toxin (ap1gen, Tdap1gen, Tdap2gen or TdaP5gen) or Tdapchem. Infants (393) received diphtheria-tetanus-whole cell pertussis (DTwP) at 2, 4 and 6 months (3+0) and 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) at 2, 4
PertussisVaccination During Pregnancy: Regional Situation and Impact of Implementation on National Immunization Programs in Latin America. Infants face a high risk of morbidity and mortality from pertussis early in life, leading to the adoption of maternal vaccination. This study aimed to review the characteristics of the maternal pertussisvaccination in Latin American (LATAM) countries
immunity, and the amount of IgA in breastmilk may impact mucosal immunity. It is important to understand if the timing of vaccination in pregnancy affects the concentration of IgA in breastmilk. Participants recruited as part of the MAMA (Maternal Antibody in Milk After Vaccination) and OpTIMUM (Optimizing the Timing of WhoopingCoughImmunisations in Mums) trials received a pertussis-containing vaccine Antibody in Breastmilk Following PertussisVaccination in Three-time Windows in Pregnancy. Pertussis-containing vaccines are routinely offered in the UK at 16-32 weeks of gestation and have been shown to be safe and effective, but there remains debate about the best timing for vaccination. Most research into this has focused on serologic immunity, but breastmilk is also important in infant
Safety and immunogenicity of an acellular pertussisvaccine containing genetically detoxified pertussis toxin administered to pregnant women living with and without HIV and their newborns (WoMANPOWER): a randomised controlled trial in Uganda. Immunisation in pregnancy against pertussis can reduce severe disease in infancy. There are few data on the safety and immunogenicity of vaccines given to pregnant women living with HIV and their infants. We aimed to describe the safety and immunogenicity of a tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (TdaP) vaccine containing genetically detoxified pertussis toxin given to pregnant women living with HIV and the effect of the vaccine on infant whole-cell pertussisvaccine responses. We conducted an observer-blind, randomised, phase 2, multicentre, non
Acellular PertussisVaccine Given in the Week After Birth Does Not Impair Antibody Responses to Later Childhood Doses. A birth acellular pertussisvaccine may be a valuable alternative for immunity against infant pertussis when a pregnancy pertussisvaccine has not been administered. We assessed whether a birth dose may impair immunoglobulin G (IgG) responses to childhood pertussis boosters the study period, and all schedules showed good immunogenicity to subsequent boosters. The high-dose DTPa vaccine consistently induced higher antibody titers than the low-dose dTpa vaccine. Either booster dose was able to bridge immunity between 6 months and 4 years. A birth dose of acellular pertussisvaccine does not impair antibody responses to booster doses of pertussisvaccines and may
A Phase 2b Trial Evaluating the Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of a 6-Valent Group B Streptococcus Vaccine Administered Concomitantly With Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Acellular PertussisVaccine in Healthy Nonpregnant Female Individuals. Maternal group B streptococcus (GBS) infection is associated with substantial risk of preterm birth and infant mortality. Preventative approaches
Association between pertussisvaccination in infancy and childhood asthma: A population-based record linkage cohort study. Asthma is among the commonest noncommunicable diseases of childhood and often occurs with other atopic comorbidities. A previous case-control study found evidence that compared to children who received acellular pertussis (aP) vaccines in early infancy, children who received ) and New South Wales (NSW), receiving wP versus aP vaccine as the first pertussisvaccine dose. The main outcome and measures were first and recurrent hospitalizations for asthma; hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were computed by means of Cox and Andersen and Gill models. 274,405 children aged between 5 and < 15 years old (78.4% NSW-born) received a first dose of either wP (67.8
Transplacental transfer of maternal antibodies following immunization with recombinant pertussisvaccines during pregnancy: real-world evidence. This study investigates placental antibody transfer following recombinant pertussisvaccination in pregnancy in a real-world setting. This post-marketing observational study recruited pregnant women vaccinated with monovalent recombinant acellular pertussisvaccine (aP; n=199) or combined to tetanus-diphtheria (TdaP; n=200), or Td-vaccine only (n=54). Pregnancy, delivery, and neonatal outcomes were assessed. Cord blood was collected post-delivery and pertussis toxin (PT)-IgG, filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA)-IgG and PT-neutralizing antibodies (PT-Nab) were assessed. No adverse pregnancy, delivery, or neonatal outcomes attributed to aP TdaPgen or Td
