Pharmacovigilance-based 12-year post-marketing safety analysis of quadrivalent influenza vaccines in children: a VAERS surveillance study.

Source: PubMed (baseline corpus) | Category: public-health

Quadrivalent influenza vaccines (QIVs) are extensively administered to children for seasonal influenza prevention. However, comprehensive long-term evaluations of post-marketing safety remain limited. We conducted a comprehensive 12-year pharmacovigilance analysis utilizing data from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) for individuals under 18 years receiving six FDA-approved QIVs between 2013 and 2024, representing three distinct platforms: four egg-based inactivated vaccines (Afluria, Fluarix, FluLaval, Fluzone), one cell culture-based inactivated vaccine (Flucelvax), and one live-attenuated intranasal vaccine (FluM

Post-marketing surveillance of adverse events following immunization with inactivated quadrivalent and trivalent influenza vaccine in health care providers in Western Australia.

Source: PubMed (baseline corpus) | Category: public-health

In 2015, inactivated quadrivalent influenza vaccine (QIV) was first introduced into the Australian market. A routine vaccine safety surveillance system in Western Australia was used to conduct post-licensure surveillance of adverse events following immunization with inactivated QIV and trivalent influenza vaccines (TIV) in a sample of 1685 healthcare providers (HCPs). A similar percentage of HCPs who received QIV reported having any reaction seven days post-vaccination as HCPs who received TIV (13.6 vs. 12.8%, respectively; p=0.66). However, a slightly higher percentage of HCPs who received QIV reported pain or swelling at the injec

Safety evaluation of laninamivir octanoate hydrate through analysis of adverse events reported during early post-marketing phase vigilance.

Source: PubMed (baseline corpus) | Category: public-health

Abnormal behavior and delirium are common in children with influenza. While abnormal behavior and delirium are considered to be associated with influenza encephalopathy, an increased risk of such neuropsychiatric symptoms in patients receiving neuraminidase inhibitor treatment is suspected. Laninamivir octanoate hydrate, recently approved in Japan, is a long-acting neuraminidase inhibitor. It is important to establish a safety profile for laninamivir early, based on post-marketing experiences. Spontaneous safety reports collected in the early post-marketing phase vigilance were analyzed. Adverse events of interest such as abnormal b

Influenza is an acute respiratory disease caused by influenza viruses. There are three types of the virus including A, B and C. Both type A and type B viruses can cause acute febrile respiratory tract infection, characterized by sudden fever, headache, muscle pain, cough, sore throat, nasal congestion and general malaise. The main transmission of influenza is through those highly contagious aerosol droplets containing influenza virus passed from infected people to susceptible population. Each year in the fall and winter infection of influenza is widespread in various age groups, with high incidence rate. Although influenza is genera

This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a vaccine to prevent avian influenza (bird flu). About 25 to 50 million cases of influenza occur a year in the U.S., leading to 150,000 hospitalizations and 30,000 to 40,000 deaths. Globally, a pandemic influenza may be 1 billion flu cases, with 3 to 5 million cases of severe illness and up to half a million deaths annually. There is potential threat of a pandemic from emerging virus strains for which the population has little or no preexisting immunity. Avian influenza A (H5N1) viruses causing serious disease have emerged recently, affecting domestic and wild bird populations

Background: Influenza (flu) is a virus that infects people of all ages. Some people may have mild flu symptoms. Others may get very sick and even die from the flu. Flu vaccines help protect people against the flu, but if the flu strains in the vaccine are not a good match with the strains circulating in the community, the vaccine is not as effective. Researchers want to make flu vaccines that protect against changing flu strains. Objective: To test if a new flu vaccine is safe and if it creates an immune response. Eligibility: Healthy adults ages 18-55 who do not smoke and have not received a flu vaccine in the 8 weeks prior or a CO

Infection control and pandemic influenza. If an influenza pandemic occurs, the spread of the virus should be reduced for as long as possible while an effective vaccine is produced. Influenza spreads mainly by large respiratory droplets (> 5 microm) depositing onto the mucosal surfaces of the eye, mouth or respiratory tract. Hands are another major means for spread, and are frequently contaminated by droplets. The most effective way to reduce the spread of the virus is with good infection control practices and social distancing. Infection control practices include the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), hand hygiene, and resp
