Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The PsA-TT vaccine elicited a stronger response to group A antibody than the PsACWY vaccine, and had obvious immunologic memory after receiving a polysaccharide booster vaccine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibody Responses After Primary Immunization in Infants Born to Women Receiving a Pertussis-containing Vaccine During Pregnancy: Single Arm Observational Study With a Historical Comparator
Shamez N Ladhani,Nick Andrews,Jo Southern,Christine E. Jones,Gayatri Amirthalingam,Pauline Waight,Anna England,Mary Matheson,Xilian Bai,Helen Findlow,Polly Burbidge,Vasili Thalasselis,Bassam Hallis,David Goldblatt,Ray Borrow,Paul T. Heath,Elizabeth Miller +16 more
TL;DR: Antenatal pertussis immunization results in high infant pre-immunization antibody concentrations, but blunts subsequent responses to pertussi vaccine and some CRM-conjugated antigens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetics of Antibody Persistence following Administration of a Combination Meningococcal Serogroup C and Haemophilus influenzae Type b Conjugate Vaccine in Healthy Infants in the United Kingdom Primed with a Monovalent Meningococcal Serogroup C Vaccine
Ray Borrow,Nick Andrews,Helen Findlow,Pauline Waight,Jo Southern,Annette Crowley-Luke,Lorraine Stapley,Anna England,Jamie Findlow,Elizabeth Miller +9 more
TL;DR: Additional booster doses of the MCC vaccine may be required in the future to maintain good antibody levels; however, there is no immediate need for a booster during adolescence, as mathematical modeling has shown that persisting herd immunity is likely to control disease for a number of years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunogenicity of a reduced schedule of meningococcal group C conjugate vaccine given concomitantly with the Prevenar and Pediacel vaccines in healthy infants in the United Kingdom.
Jo Southern,Ray Borrow,Nick Andrews,Rhonwen Morris,Pauline Waight,Michael J. Hudson,Paul Balmer,Helen Findlow,Jamie Findlow,Elizbeth Miller +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that NeisVac-C and Menjugate generate good immunogenicity after the first dose at 2 months of age when coadministered with PCV7 and Pediacel and merit further investigation in single-dose priming strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The prevalence of meningococcal carriage in the African meningitis belt is lower than in industrialized countries and is very diverse and dynamic, even in the absence of vaccination.
