Hesitant compliers': Qualitative analysis of concerned fully-vaccinating parents

Parents interpreted pivotal vaccine-related events in the community as requiring them to take personal responsibility for vaccine decisions

Vaccine decision-making begins in pregnancy: Correlation between vaccine concerns, intentions and maternal vaccination with subsequent childhood vaccine uptake

New interventions to improve both education and communication on childhood and maternal vaccines may reduce vaccine hesitancy for all mothers in pregnancy

Topical versus systemic antibiotics for chronic suppurative otitis media

To assess the relative effectiveness of topical versus systemic antibiotics for people with chronic suppurative otitis media

Implications of asymptomatic carriers for infectious disease transmission and control

For pathogens such as Staph. A and Streptococcus P., some hosts may carry the pathogen and transmit it to others, yet display no symptoms themselves.

Protocol for Pertussis Immunisation and Food Allergy (PIFA): a case-control study of the association between pertussis vaccination in infancy

We therefore speculate that removal of wP from the vaccine schedule contributed to the observed rise in IgE-mediated food allergy among Australian infants

Research Priorities for Inpatient General Paediatrics in Australia and New Zealand: A Modified Delphi Study

To develop consensus on the priorities for multi-centre, inpatient general paediatrics research in Australia and New Zealand.

A Pragmatic Bayesian Adaptive Trial Design Based on the Value of Information: The Value-Driven Adaptive Design

Clinical trial designs are typically narrowly focused on error control in hypothesis testing, but this approach is inadequate in many contexts, particularly when a decision maker intends to, or must, consider multiple relevant clinical and health economic outcomes under uncertainty. Value-of-information (VoI) metrics can be used to estimate the monetary value of data collection to the decision maker. 

BEAT-BK: An Adaptive, Randomized Controlled Trial to Treat Polyomavirus Infections (BKPyV) in Kidney and Kidney-pancreas Transplantation Recipients (BEAT-BK) Study Protocol

BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is a common opportunistic infection in kidney transplant recipients, typically reactivating in the context of immunosuppression. Although asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals, reactivation in transplant recipients can cause BKPyV-associated nephropathy (BKPyVAN), a leading cause of graft dysfunction and loss. BKPyV viremia affects approximately 10%-15% of transplant recipients, and once BKPyVAN is established, the risk of graft failure can exceed 50%.

Short term safety profile of respiratory syncytial virus vaccine in adults aged ≥ 60 years in Australia

Australia's active vaccine safety surveillance system AusVaxSafety monitors a number of vaccines, including Arexvy, by reporting on solicited adverse events following immunisation (AEFI) through an online survey sent to vaccinees 3 days post-vaccination as previously described.3 Here we report on survey responses from adults aged ≥60 years receiving Arexvy at primary healthcare practices or pharmacies, who responded to the survey by day 7 post-vaccination.
