U.S. health officials have changed their advice to international travelers about measles,
saying that Americans should be vaccinated against the virus
-- no matter where they’re going.
U.S. residents are recommended to get measles-mumps-rubella shots, anyway.
But the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention previously emphasized the importance of vaccination for travelers going to countries with outbreaks.

Controlling the Spread of Epidemics on Networks with Differential Privacy
Designing effective strategies for controlling epidemic spread by vaccination is an important question in epidemiology, especially in the early stages when vaccines are limited. This is a challenging question when the contact network is very heterogeneous, and strategies based on controlling network properties, such as the degree and spectral radius, have been shown to be effective. Implementation of such strategies requires detailed information on the contact structure, which might be sensitiv…

Distributed Kaplan-Meier Analysis via the Influence Function with Application to COVID-19 and COVID-19 Vaccine Adverse Events
During the COVID-19 pandemic, regulatory decision-making was hampered by a lack of timely and high-quality data on rare outcomes. Studying rare outcomes following infection and vaccination requires conducting multi-center observational studies, where sharing individual-level data is a privacy concern. In this paper, we conduct a multi-center observational study of thromboembolic events following COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccination without sharing individual-level data. We accomplish this by devel…

Assessing the Impact of Vaccination on Rotavirus Transmission Dynamics Using Bayesian Inference
The introduction of the rotavirus vaccine in the United Kingdom (UK) in 2013 led to a noticeable decline in laboratory reports in subsequent years. To assess the impact of vaccination on rotavirus transmissibility we calibrated a stochastic compartmental epidemiological model using Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods. Our analysis focuses on estimating the time-varying transmissibility parameter and documenting its evolution before and after vaccine rollout. We observe distinct periods of incr…

This is the sort of crap that sounds smart until you think about it for five minutes.
Was the solution to COVID really ultimately technological? What about the social measures that got us to the point where the vaccine was ready? What about the different vaccination rates between Europe and the US? No social aspects to getting a population vaccinated? What about the emergence of Omicron: maybe luck was part of it?
The same goes for Ozempic, and the same will be true of Climate ch…

When unvaccinated families present with measles at healthcare centres, doctors sometimes struggle to even discuss vaccination with the parents, Hussain said.
“It’s really hard to even approach the conversation.
I would ask: ‘How come you aren’t [vaccinated]?’
And they will say: ‘Oh, we’re exempt’
or ‘We’ve had this discussion before and we just don’t want to,’” she said

HR-VILAGE-3K3M: A Human Respiratory Viral Immunization Longitudinal Gene Expression Dataset for Systems Immunity
Respiratory viral infections pose a global health burden, yet the cellular immune responses driving protection or pathology remain unclear. Natural infection cohorts often lack pre-exposure baseline data and structured temporal sampling. In contrast, inoculation and vaccination trials generate insightful longitudinal transcriptomic data. However, the scattering of these datasets across platforms, along with inconsistent metadata and preprocessing procedure, hinders AI-driven discovery. To addre…

A metapopulation model for the spread of cholera
We consider a metapopulation model of cholera describing explicitly the movement of individuals and contaminated water between locations as well as a simple vaccination mechanism. The global stability of the disease-free equilibrium point when the location-specific reproduction numbers are all less than unity is established. We then conduct some numerical investigation of the model.

The COVID-19 Inflation Weighting in Israel
Significant shifts in the composition of consumer spending as a result of the COVID-19 crisis can complicate the interpretation of official inflation data, which are calculated by the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) based on a fixed basket of goods. We focus on Israel as a country that experienced three lockdowns, additional restrictions that significantly changed consumer behavior, and a successful vaccination campaign that has led to the lifting of most of these restrictions. We use credit…
