Vaccine hesitancy for the COVID-19 vaccine booster dose among nursing home staff fully vaccinated with the primary vaccination course in Belgium Ghent University KU Leuven
In Belgium, nursing home (NH) staff (NHS) and residents were prioritised for the initial COVID-19 vaccination and successive booster doses. The vaccination campaign for the first booster started in September 2021 in Belgian NH. Our first study about vaccine hesitancy towards the COVID-19 vaccine in Belgian NHS already showed a degree of fear for the primary vaccination course (T1). This new study aims to evaluate vaccine hesitancy to get the ...
Immunogenicity of a liquid hexavalent DTaP-IPV-HB-PRPtiT vaccine after primary and booster vaccination of term and preterm infants born to women vaccinated with Tdap during pregnancy University of Antwerp
Background: Vaccination during pregnancy with tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis (aP) (Tdap) anti-gens is important for early protection of newborn infants against pertussis, particularly for preterm infants. This study evaluated the effect of Tdap vaccination during pregnancy on the immunogenicity of a diphtheria (D), tetanus (T), aP, inactivated poliovirus (IPV), hepatitis B (HB), and Haemophilus influen-zae type b (PRP ti T) vaccine in ...
Rationale for pertussis booster vaccination throughout life in Europe University of Antwerp

This changing epidemiological pattern is probably largely attributable to waning immunity after natural infection or vaccination. Furthermore, improved diagnostic testing, active surveillance, changes in disease ...

EFFECT OF A PREPREGNANCY PERTUSSIS BOOSTER DOSE ON MATERNAL ANTIBODY TITERS IN YOUNG INFANTS Hasselt University University of Antwerp
To examine the influence of a pertussis booster vaccination on the transfer of maternal antibodies, 24 nonpregnant women received a tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis booster vaccine between 2 consecutive pregnancies. Blood was drawn from mothers and off-spring. Efficient transplacental antibody transfer and significantly higher antibody titers against 3 pertussis antigens were observed in cord blood and in blood of 1-month-old infants ...
