Sleepovers and diabetes

Love them or hate them, but sleepovers are a popular pastime for children. Understandably, parents of children living with type 1 diabetes might be hesitant to leave them in someone else’s care for an extended period, but there are ways to ensure that everyone is prepared for a safe experience.

Evaluating the effectiveness of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine and clinical and demographic characteristics on pneumococcal carriage density in young children

High nasopharyngeal pneumococcal carriage density is associated with severe pneumonia; however, little is known about factors that affect pneumococcal carriage density including pneumococcal vaccination. We describe pneumococcal density by clinical and demographic factors, and effect of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) on density in Papua New Guinea (PNG), Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) and Mongolia, 3–6 years following national PCV13 introduction.

An open repository of COVID-19 vaccine mandate studies with a worked scoping review of quasi-experimental evidence

Vaccine mandates were widely implemented against COVID-19, and a large and multidisciplinary literature has emerged as a result, covering fields such as epidemiology, economics, ethics, and law. We compiled an openly available repository of this literature, including 503 studies on COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
