Guillain-barre syndrome following vaccination in the national influenza immunization program, united states, 1976–1977
Lawrence B. Schonberger,Dennis J. Bregman,John Z. Sullivan-Bolyai,Richard A. Keenlyside,Donald W. Ziegler,Henry F. Retailliau,Donald L. Eddins,John A. Bryan +7 more
TL;DR: Because of an increase in the number of reports of Guillian-Barre syndrome following A/New Jersey influenza vaccination, the National Influenza Immunization Program was suspended December 16, 1976 and nationwide surveillance for GBS was begun.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis
John F. Modlin,Neal A. Halsey,Donald L. Eddins,J. Lyle Conrad,J. T. Jabbour,L. Chien,H. Robinson +6 more
TL;DR: Although the long-term pattern of incidence is unknown, the incidence of reported SSPE declined dramatically from 1970 to 1976, and available epidemiologic evidence suggests that some extrinsic factor, unrelated to measles or measles vaccine, is important in the pathogenesis of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk factors in subacute sclerosing panencephalitis: a case-control study
TL;DR: Children with SSPE were more likely to have suffered a serious head injury and to have come from larger families and more crowded homes than control children, and some infectious agent, transmitted from birds to man, may have contributed to the development of S SPE in predisposed individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential impact on vaccination coverage levels by administering vaccines simultaneously and reducing dropout rates.
Vance Dietz,John Stevenson,Elizabeth R. Zell,Stephen L. Cochi,Stephen C. Hadler,Donald L. Eddins +5 more
TL;DR: Although the majority of children received a vaccination by their first birthday, the coverage level at 24 months of age was low, and all children who are late in beginning their vaccination series are at increased risk of not completing the recommended vaccination series on time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Illness after influenza vaccination reported through a nationwide surveillance system, 1976–1977
Henry F. Retailliau,Arthur C. Curtis,Gordon Storr,Gregory Caesar,Donald L. Eddins,Michael A. W. Hattwick +5 more
TL;DR: Widespread underreporting of illness and death in the passive phase of this surveillance system impaired the ability to draw conclusions about reactions to vaccine from the reports of illness received.
