A risk prediction model to identify newborns at risk for missing early childhood vaccinations.
Approximately 30% of US children aged 24 months have not received all recommended vaccines. This retrospective cohort study aimed to develop a prediction model to identify newborns at high risk for missing early childhood vaccines. The investigators concluded that their prediction model using information readily available in birth hospitalization records consistently identified newborns at high risk for undervaccination.

Risk of herpes zoster in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases: implications for vaccination.
This study was undertaken to evaluate the age-stratified incidence of herpes zoster (HZ) in patients with autoimmune or inflammatory (AI) diseases as compared to older adults for whom the HZ vaccine is currently recommended by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The researchers found that systemic lupus erythematosus, inflammatory bowel disease, and rheumatoid arthritis are AI diseases associated with a higher risk of HZ compared to that in older adults for whom vaccination is currently recommended, suggesting that individuals with these conditions who are as young as age 40 years could potentially benefit from the HZ vaccine.
