Update on Vaccine-Derived Poliovirus Outbreaks - Worldwide, July 2019-February 2020.
Mary M. Alleman,Jaume Jorba,Sharon A Greene,Ousmane M. Diop,Jane Iber,Graham Tallis,Ajay Kumar Goel,Eric Wiesen,Steven G. F. Wassilak,Cara C. Burns +9 more
TL;DR: The number and geographic breadth of post-switch cVDPV2 outbreaks have exceeded forecasts that trended toward zero outbreaks 4 years after the switch and assumed rapid and effective control of any that occurred, and the Global Polio Eradication Initiative plans to introduce a genetically stabilized, novel OPV type 2 (nOPV2) in mid-2020.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measles Mortality Reduction and Pre-Elimination in the African Region, 2001–2009
Balcha Masresha,Amadou Fall,Messeret Eshetu,Steve Sosler,Mary M. Alleman,James L. Goodson,Reggis Katsande,Deogratias Nshimirimana +7 more
TL;DR: To achieve high MCV1 coverage, provide a second dose through either periodic SIAs or routine services, and to ensure further progress toward attaining the regional measles pre-elimination goal by 2012, a renewed commitment from implementing partners and donors is needed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measles outbreak in Burkina Faso, 2009: A case–control study to determine risk factors and estimate vaccine effectiveness
Sarah Kidd,Bassirou Ouedraogo,Chantal Kambire,Jean Ludovic Kambou,Huong Q. McLean,Preeta K. Kutty,Serigne M. Ndiaye,Amadou Fall,Mary M. Alleman,Mary M. Alleman,Kathleen Wannemuehler,Balcha Masresha,James L. Goodson,Amra Uzicanin +13 more
TL;DR: The results emphasize the need for improved strategies to reduce missed opportunities for vaccination and achieve high vaccination coverage nationwide in order to prevent large measles outbreaks and to continue progress toward measles mortality reduction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Update on Vaccine-Derived Poliovirus Outbreaks — Democratic Republic of the Congo and Horn of Africa, 2017–2018
Chukwuma Mbaeyi,Mary M. Alleman,Derek Ehrhardt,Eric Wiesen,Cara C. Burns,Hongmei Liu,Raimi Ewetola,Lerato Seakamela,Rennatus Mdodo,Modjirom Ndoutabe,Pierre Kandolo Wenye,Yogolelo Riziki,Peter Borus,Christopher Kamugisha,Steven G. F. Wassilak +14 more
TL;DR: For both countries, longer periods of surveillance are needed before interruption of cVDPV transmission can be inferred, and the primary challenge to interrupting transmission is the residence of >300,000 children in areas that are inaccessible for vaccination activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating the burden of rubella virus infection and congenital rubella syndrome through a rubella immunity assessment among pregnant women in the Democratic Republic of the Congo: Potential impact on vaccination policy.
Mary M. Alleman,Kathleen Wannemuehler,LiJuan Hao,Ludmila Perelygina,Joseph P. Icenogle,Emilia Vynnycky,Franck Fwamba,Samuel Edidi,Audry Mulumba,Kassim Sidibe,Susan E. Reef +10 more
TL;DR: Estimates of the burden of rubella virus infection and of congenital rubella syndrome in the Democratic Republic of the Congo would help inform the country's strategy for RCV introduction and can guide plans for introduction of RCV in DRC.
