“…The study from urban Bissau revealed that few had received vaccinia vaccination before school-age, the median age of vaccination being 18 years [10]. Since vaccinia vaccinations were stopped in Guinea-Bissau in 1980, we only included individuals born before 1974 in the previous [10] and the present analysis.…”

“…To remove a vaccine with beneficial effects because the infection was eradicated or eliminated-as we did with vaccinia-may be disastrous. [50][51][52][53] All the current vaccination practices need to be reviewed and tested in RCTs if possible. Based on current observational studies, we predict, for example, first, DTP/pentavalent vaccine should not be administered after MV; second, VAS should not be administered with DTP/ pentavalent vaccine or provided to children having DTP as their most recent vaccine; and third, if measles vaccine is given later or less often following the elimination of measles infection, child mortality will increase.…”
