RESUMEN
Background:The ongoing mutation of the COVID-19 virus causes an increase in transmission and a decrease in vaccine effectiveness. COVID-19 cases since the end of 2021 have continued to increase, and data on the characteristics of patients with confirmed COVID-19 at Sanglah hospital for this period is not yet available. Therefore, this study aims to determine the characteristics of confirmed COVID-19 patients who received treatment at Sanglah hospital from January to February 2022.Methods:This study is a descriptivestudy using a cross-sectional approach taken from medical record data.Results:There were 276 COVID-19 patient subjects with an average age of 53 years, consisting of 51.1% male and 48.9% female. Most occupations are private employees, 29.0%. The 39.5% of patients had mild symptoms, and 5.8% had critical symptoms. Cough (51.8%) and fever (40.6%) were the main clinical symptoms, and chronic kidney disease was the most common comorbidity at 16.7%. As many as 46.0% of COVID-19 patients have received vaccines at least 2x, and 2.9% of patients are previous COVID-19 survivors.Conclusions:The characteristics of confirmed COVID-19 patients who received treatment at Sanglah hospital in January and February 2022 were more male than female, with the most jobs as private employees. Most patients have mild to moderate symptoms with a chief complaint of cough. Almost half of the patients have been vaccinated at least 2x. Most of them are not COVID-19 survivors.
RESUMEN
Objective To analyze the immunization coverage of 23-valent pneumococcal polysac-charide vaccine(PPV23)in a large population in Guangzhou and to evaluate its safety by analyzing the ad-verse events following immunization(AEFI)reported to the passive surveillance system. Methods Immu-nization data of PPV23 in Guangzhou from 2010 to 2015 were collected from Information Management System of Biological Products and the Information System of Immune Programming of Guangzhou. AEFI reported to the AEFI Information System during 2010 to 2015 was collected for safety evaluation. The collected data were analyzed by using descriptive methodology. Results A total of 621 059 doses of PPV23 were pre-scribed in Guangzhou from 2010 to 2015. Most of the recipients were children younger than 10 years old,ac-counting for 79. 44% . Only 9. 38% of the subjects received PPV23 were older than 60 years. A total of 243 AEFI cases were reported at a rate of 39. 13 cases per 100 000 doses,among which 199 cases(32. 04 / 105 ) showed minor vaccine reactions,25 cases(4. 03 / 105 )occurred adverse events,16 cases(2. 58 / 105 )de-veloped coupled diseases and 3 cases(0. 48 / 105 )were classified as psychogenic reactions. No rare adverse reactions were observed. Conclusion The majority of people immunized with PPV23s in Guangzhou were children,while the immunization coverage among the elderly was relatively low. PPV23 was safe for vaccina-tion as the reported AEFI cases were similar to that of other vaccines.
RESUMEN
Background: About a third of the world's countries still lack rubella vaccination programs, so the virus remains common in many developing nations including India. Aims & Objective: The present cross-sectional study was carried out to study awareness, vaccination coverage, reasons for not receiving vaccine and the outlook of unvaccinated subjects for future vaccination against rubella. Material and Methods: It was conducted among 202 women medical professionals from a tertiary care and teaching hospital of Ujjain district in central India. Results: The study revealed that though the awareness about rubella was high (94.1%) vaccination coverage was only 42.1%. The commonest reasons quoted for non-vaccination were related to their non-seriousness about the issue. Sources of information for rubella vaccination were their gynaecologist/doctor (62.3%) or medical books or literature (36.5%) and not any mass media. Conclusion: The study delineates the difference in the knowledge of rubella and vaccination status in medical professionals. The study shows that the awareness alone cannot influence the attitude of the people but better strategies are needed for that.
RESUMEN
Con el objetivo de determinar el porcentaje de población susceptible frente a la fiebre amarilla se realizó estudio de campo,observacional, descriptivo, seleccionando muestra aleatoria y estratificada de 500 sujetos por procedimiento para Monitoreo Rápido de Cobertura (MRC), distribuidos por parroquias y sectores con bajas coberturas administrativas de vacunación. La cobertura real del municipio obtenida por MRC fue de 89%, mientras que la administrativa era 114%; estimándose en general, 11% de susceptibles para fiebre amarilla, siendo este porcentaje mayor en niños menores de 1 año (75%) y de un año (44%) de edad. En conclusión, las coberturas vacunales reales son menores a lo establecido en Programa Ampliado de Inmunizaciones (mínimo de 95%), por lo que se recomienda reforzar el trabajo para aumentar la cobertura vacunal.
In order to determine population susceptibility against yellow fever, an observational, and descriptive study was conducted, selecting a stratified random sample of 500 subjects per procedure for Rapid Coverage Monitoring (RCM), distributed by administrative areas with low vaccination coverage. The real coverage of municipality was 89%, while administrative coverage was 114% in general, with estimated 11% of people susceptible to yellow fever, being even higher in children aged one year (44%). In conclusion, real vaccination coverage is less than the provisions of the Expanded Program on Immunization (minimum of 95%), so it is recommended that immunization coverage be increased and reinforced.

The clinical observations and comparative studies according to vaccination was performed on 237 cases of measles that were treated at the pediatric ward and out patient clinic of Busan National University Hospital during 5 year period from Jan. 1976 to Dec. 1980. The results were summarized as follows : 1.The incidence of measles was most frequently in 1977 and a relative high incidence occurred in 3 year intervals. The seasonal distribution was 74.6% in spring and winter. The ratio between male and female was approximately 1 : 1. It was commonly found in 1-6 year of age(74.2%) and a high incidence in 1-3 year of old(48.9%) especially. 2. Among the 33 vaccinated patients, 60.6% were 8 to 12 months of age, 21.2% were 12 to 15 months old. The delay in the vaccinated age to 12-15 months old seems to have a better results in postponing the occurrence of the infected cases of measles to later age. 3. There is no significant differences in clinical characteristics and clinical coureses between the two groups except the duration of fever. The duration of fever was shorter in vaccinated group(mean 4.8days) than in Un vaccinated group(mean 8.2 days). 4. The complications were noted in 112 cases and were lower in vaccinated group(27.3%) than Un vaccinated group(49.5%). The fetal complications such as encephalitis, pneumonia, and activated Tuberculosis were higher in Un vaccinated group than vaccinated group.
