An observational study of antibody responses to a primary or subsequent pertussis booster vaccination in Australian healthcare workers

Adult pertussis vaccination is increasingly recommended to control pertussis in the community. However, there is little data on the duration and kinetics of immunity to pertussis boosters in adults. We compared IgG responses to vaccination with a tetanus, low-dose diphtheria, low-dose acellular pertussis (Tdap) booster at 1 week, 1 month and 1 year post-vaccination in whole-cell (wP)-primed Australian paediatric healthcare workers who had received an adult Tdap booster 5-12 years previously, to those who received their first Tdap booster.

Antibody persistence and booster response in adolescents and young adults 4 and 7.5 years after immunization with 4CMenB vaccine

A more robust immune response after booster compared to a first dose in vaccine-naïve individuals, showed effective priming in an adolescent/young adult population

A randomized phase I study of the safety and immunogenicity

In this study of healthy adults aged 50-85 and 18-24 years, SA3Ag elicited a rapid and robust immune response and was well tolerated, with no notable safety...

Immune responses to a recombinant, four-component, meningococcal serogroup B vaccine (4CMenB) in adolescents

This trial evaluated the lot consistency, early immune responses and safety of the vaccine against serogroup B Neisseria meningitidis (4CMenB) - in 11 to 17...
