        The epidemiology of superficial Streptococcal A (impetigo and pharyngitis) infections in Australia: A systematic review

        Streptoccocal A (Strep A, GAS) infections in Australia are responsible for significant morbidity and mortality through both invasive (iGAS) and post-streptococcal (postGAS) diseases as well as preceding superficial (sGAS) skin and throat infection. The burden of iGAS and postGAS are addressed in some jurisdictions by mandatory notification systems; in contrast, the burden of preceding sGAS has no reporting structure, and is less well defined. ...

        Improving Influenza Vaccination in Children With Comorbidities: A Systematic Review

        Children with medical comorbidities are at greater risk for severe influenza and poorer clinical outcomes.

        Infant, maternal and demographic predictors of delayed vaccination: A population-based cohort study

        Receiving vaccines at or close to their due date (vaccination timeliness) is a now key measure of program performance. However, studies comprehensively examining predictors of delayed infant vaccination are lacking. We aimed to identify predictors of short and longer-term delays in diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP) vaccination by dose number and ethnicity. ...
