“…14 These values are low since other countries with similar HBV prevalence to Mexico have reported higher coverage: 78.7% in Germany 15 and 92.2% in France, 16,17 in both cases among health students . In countries with intermediate prevalence (2-8%), variable coverage rates have been reported: 75.7% and 60.7% in medical students from Brazil, 18,19 whereas in high prevalence (>8%) countries, coverage has been reported to be 30.5% among health students from Laos 20 and 91.6% in dentist students from Iran.…”

“…21 Failure to complete the vaccination scheme is a current problem worldwide. Several studies have shown different success levels in completing the 3-doses vaccination schedule, 22.8% in France, 16 5.5% in Brazil, 7 9.5% in Laos 20 and 16.7% in Iran. 21 In this study we detected 17.5% of students "vaccinated with single dose" and 14.9% who had "unknown vaccination status" (Table 1).…”

Although preventable with vaccination, Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major health concern, with »400 million people at risk of developing the chronic form of the disease worldwide. The anti-HBV vaccine consists of a recombinant HBV surface antigen (HBsAg), which induces specific anti-HBs antibodies and confers 95% protection for >20 y. The aim of the present study was to analyze the response to HBV vaccination by measuring anti-HBs antibodies in serum samples from medical students of a public university in Puebla, Mexico. HBV infection markers HBsAg and anti-HBs, were also determined. A total of 201 students were included and vaccination coverage was found at 54%. Overall seropositivity for HBsAg, anti-HBc and anti-HBs determined by ELISA was 0.5%, 1.0% and 47%, respectively. Protective levels of anti-HBs >10 mIU/mL were found in 93.2% of subjects vaccinated with 2 or 3 doses and in 40% of those vaccinated with a single dose; while only 4.8% of unvaccinated subjects were anti-HBs positive. The response to the HBV vaccine was different in each participant, despite similar vaccination scheme. A history of blood transfusion/organ transplant or more than 2 sexual partners was significantly associated with anti-HBc positivity, OR D 399 (p D 0.010) and OR D 19.9 (p D 0.044), respectively. HBV immunization coverage was low in our sample compared with reports from countries with similar HBV prevalence, but anti-HBs in vaccinated individuals were in the expected range. It is important to promote HBV vaccination and awareness among medical students, due to their exposure risk.

“…189 In French healthcare students, vaccination coverage was high because of compulsory vaccinations, such as tetanus and diphtheria, varying from 96.7 to 96.9% for DT vaccination. 151,176 Protective antibody titers have been defined and validated as a correlate of protection against tetanus and diphtheria, 164 so that seroprevalence data can provide reliable information on protection among HCWs. Protective antibody values against diphtheria were found in 89.2% (83.3%-91.5%) of 250 Thai HCWs, growing to 97.2% (95% CI: 95.1%-99.3%) after DT booster administration 190 and demonstrating the effectiveness of booster vaccination in maintaining protective antibody levels.…”

“…Globally, the reported vaccine coverage varies from 14.4% to 72.7%. 135,151,[174][175][176][177][178] In France, HCW vaccination coverage in published studies ranges from 12 to 66% in different settings: pediatric, obstetric, internal medicine and ICUs. 135,175,177,178 A French national survey of HCWs in 2009 reported 11.4% pertussis vaccine coverage.…”

“…61 Among healthcare students, coverage was high for compulsory vaccinations, but largely insufficient for recommended ones, such as pertussis, varying from 44 to 72%. 151,176 Policies to increase pertussis vaccination rates Two recent publications ascertained the effect of active intervention in implementing mandatory vaccination against pertussis. A 1-year active campaign in a group of hospitals strongly increased coverage among HCWs in high-risk areas, from 50 to 98.6% (100% when accounting for legitimate exemptions).…”

ObjectivesTo evaluate the impact of the Swiss measles elimination strategy—including a mass media campaign—on vaccination coverage and awareness among young adults aged 20–29 years.MethodsComparison of the results of two cross-sectional population surveys in 2012 and 2015.ResultsDocumented vaccination coverage increased from 77 to 88% for two doses of measles vaccine. Major determinants of complete vaccination were survey year, birth cohort, sex and the absence of prior measles disease. If birth cohort and prior history of measles disease are included as factors in a multivariate model, the difference between 2012 and 2015 vanishes.ConclusionsThe marked increase in complete measles vaccination coverage is due to a cohort effect, owing to the introduction of the second dose of vaccine in 1996. Most of the vaccinations were administered before the national strategy was implemented and vaccination catch-ups did not increase during the campaign in young adults. Nevertheless, this study provides evidence of an improvement in the awareness of measles and measles vaccination in young adults, which may result in an impact on measles vaccination coverage in the near future.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1007/s00038-018-1102-x) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
