Cancer Vaccines

801
Cancer treatment vaccines are a rapidly evolving field that offers a promising approach to immunotherapy. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent diseases, cancer treatment vaccines are designed to treat existing cancers by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

3.5K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

1.7K
Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

Summary

Prison inmates have low vaccination coverage for key diseases like hepatitis B and influenza. Enhancing immunization programs and data systems is crucial for improving healthcare in this vulnerable population.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Prison populations exhibit heightened susceptibility to infectious diseases, including those preventable by vaccines.
  • Vaccination coverage is a critical indicator of public health within correctional facilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review international literature on vaccination coverage for various diseases among prison inmates.
  • To identify gaps and trends in immunization rates for vaccine-preventable diseases in this high-risk group.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic international literature review adhering to PRISMA guidelines.
  • Searches conducted across Web of Science, MEDLINE, Scopus, and Cinhal databases without language or time limitations.
  • Inclusion of 28 studies from 1079 identified, analyzing vaccination coverage data for hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis A (HAV), tetanus-diphtheria, influenza, pneumococcal, and measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccines.

Main Results:

  • Vaccination coverage data for prison inmates were found to be scarce and heterogeneous.
  • Reported HBV vaccine coverage ranged from 16-82%, HAV from 91-96%, influenza from 36-46%, pneumococcal at 12%, and MMR at 74%.
  • Inmates are generally under-immunized, particularly for HBV, influenza, MMR, and pneumococcal vaccines.

Conclusions:

  • Current literature indicates significant under-immunization among prison inmates for several critical vaccines.
  • Strengthening immunization programs tailored to this population and improving data recording systems are recommended.
  • Addressing these issues can lead to improved health outcomes for incarcerated individuals.
