Abstract
We consider control of reaction and population systems by imposing transitions between states with different numbers of particles or individuals. The transitions take place at predetermined instants of time. Even where they are significantly less frequent than spontaneous transitions, they can expon...

Abstract
An immunization information system (IIS) is a confidential, computerized, population-based system that collects and consolidates vaccination data from vaccine providers and provides tools for designing and sustaining effective immunization strategies at the provider and program levels. Among the cap...

Abstract
We sought to model the effect that a targeted immunization visit at 18 months of age could have on immunization rates of preschool-aged children in a sample of pediatric practices.
We conducted retrospective chart reviews in six practices of all active patients aged 18-30 months. Up-...

Abstract
The Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) began in 1988. By 2006, indigenous transmission of wild poliovirus (WPV) had been interrupted in all but four countries (Afghanistan, India, Nigeria, and Pakistan). However, outbreaks following WPV importations into previously polio-free countries remai...

Abstract
Annual societal cost due to pneumococcus in Iceland was estimated to be 718.146.252 ISK if children would be vaccinated but 565.026.552 ISK if they would not be vaccinated. The additional cost due to the vaccination program was therefore 153.119.700 ISK . The vaccination program could save 0,669 liv...

Abstract
In February 2006, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended routine vaccination of all U.S. infants with 3 doses of a pentavalent rotavirus vaccine administered at ages 2, 4, and 6 months. In June 2008, ACIP updated its recommendations to include use of a second rotavirus v...

Abstract
We consider optimal vaccination protocol where the vaccine is in short supply. In this case, the endemic state remains dynamically stable; disease extinction happens at random and requires a large fluctuation, which can come from the intrinsic randomness of the population dynamics. We show that vacc...

Young children in New Zealand remain at an unacceptably high risk of pertussis. As an indicator of child disease burden hospitalisation rates have increased in each decade since the 1960s. Despite improvements over the past 15 years immunisation coverage (77% at age 2 years in 2005) remains lower th...

A total of 289 newborns at risk of tuberculosis were included. BCG vaccine coverage in the maternity hospital was 72%, significantly higher when BCG was not mandatory (81% versus 66%; p<0.05). At 3 months of age, 90% of the children were BCG vaccinated. Among the infants whose parents refused an ear...
