Protection by vaccination of children against typhoid fever with a Vi-tetanus toxoid conjugate vaccine in urban Bangladesh: a cluster-randomised trial – The Lancet (Me: just saying – vaccines save lives!)

Among new-generation vaccines against typhoid, ViPS-protein conjugate vaccines have been most promising, owing to their ability to elicit robust immune responses in infants and young children and their capacity to elicit T-cell-mediated immune memory responses, offering the potential for long-term protection.

One such vaccine, consisting of ViPS conjugated to tetanus toxoid (Vi-TT; Typbar TCV, Bharat Biotech International, Hyderabad, India), has been licensed as a single-dose vaccine for people younger than 12 months in multiple countries (India, Nepal, Cambodia, and Nigeria),

and has been prequalified by WHO for purchase by UN agencies.

The WHO Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization has recommended that, for programmatic and epidemiological reasons, the vaccine should be started at 9 months of age, coincident with the 9 month Expanded Programme on Immunization visit in many countries. A phase 3 randomised, controlled trial has shown that the vaccine was safe and highly immunogenic (seroconversion, 98%; geometric mean titre, 1937 [95% CI 1785–2103]) in children (n=327) aged 6–23 months.

This vaccine has also been shown in an interim analysis of an individually randomised efficacy trial among children in Nepal to confer 82% protection against typhoid disease.

To better understand the ability of this vaccine to confer protection, including herd protection, under circumstances of mass immunisation, we did a cluster-randomised, controlled, clinical trial of Vi-TT vaccine in urban Bangladesh.

More than 8,000 Florida students isolate or quarantine for covid-19 in Hillsborough County – The Washington Post

A Florida school board is set to hold an emergency meeting this week to consider a mask mandate as more than 8,000 students and hundreds of employees in its district are in isolation or quarantine because of a surge in coronavirus cases and possible exposure.

Hillsborough County Public Schools, which includes Tampa, has 8,400 students and 307 staff members either in isolation because of a positive test or in quarantine after coming into close contact with someone who tested positive, district spokesperson Tanya Arja told The Washington Post on Tuesday. The number of students who are either in isolation or quarantine jumped by nearly 3,000 from the total given by the school district on Monday.

China Axes Hundreds of Joint Courses With Foreign Universities — Radio Free Asia (Me: Clear that CCP is afraid of losing control/profits and is isolating itself in ways that will ultimately lead, perhaps, to hyper-aggressive nationalism and inevitable decline)

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is axing hundreds of Sino-foreign university cooperation arrangements, including around 60 joint programs with universities in the United Kingdom.

The ministry listed 286 projects it said were being wound down as part of a routine review process.

The canceled courses included a bachelor’s degree in mechanical design and automation run by Harbin University of Science and Technology and London’s City University, as well as a social work courses run by East China Normal University and New York University.

Other axed programs included courses jointly run with the University of Florida, the University of Southern Queensland and the University of Leeds. Source: China Axes Hundreds of Joint Courses With Foreign Universities — Radio Free Asia
