Recently, several new vaccines have been recommended for adults. Little is known regarding the immunization purchase and stocking practices of adult primary care physicians. To determine the proportion of family practice and internal medicine physicians who routinely stock specific adult vaccines and their rationale for those decisions, we conducted a cross-sectional survey in 2009 of a national random...
The tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap) was recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) for U.S. adults in 2005. Our objective was to identify barriers to early uptake of Tdap among adult populations.The 2007 National Immunization Survey (NIS)-Adult was a telephone survey sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Immunization...
The number of current and future vaccines for adults has been steadily increasing. Yet, vaccine coverage rates for adult vaccinations have historically been low, and less is known about how adults in the mid-adult age range make vaccine decisions for themselves. The purpose of this study was to assess which vaccine characteristics affect vaccine decision-making among mid-adult women. Adult women,...
To compare the immune responses of the 10μg and 20μg doses of CHO hepatitis B vaccine on adults.Adults aged 18–45 years who gave a history of never having received hepatitis B vaccine and lacked serologic evidence of infection to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection or previous vaccination were enrolled into the study. A total of 642 eligible participants were randomized to receive 3 doses of either...
Approximately 43,000 new hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections occurred in 2007. Although hepB vaccination has been recommended for adults at high-risk for incident HBV infection for many years, coverage remains low.We used the 2009 National Health Interview Survey to assess self-reported HepB vaccine uptake (≥1 dose), series completion (≥3 dose), and independent predictors of vaccination among high-risk...
The current study aimed to evaluate immunogenicity and safety of a newly developed diphtheria–tetanus toxoid (Td) vaccine, GC1107 (Green Cross Corporation, Yongin, Korea), in comparison with placebo and active comparator (licensed Td vaccine) in healthy Korean adults. A randomized, double-blind, placebo and active comparator-controlled study was conducted. Forty subjects were randomly administered...
