On 8th April 2021, the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) made the Pfizer-BioNtech (Comirnaty) vaccine the “preferred” vaccine for adults in Australia aged < 50 years due to a risk of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) following AstraZeneca vaccination. We sought to understand whether this impacted COVID-19 vaccine intentions.
Toddlers will now get an additional whooping cough vaccine to protect them against the potentially deadly disease.
Child health expert Professor Fiona Stanley has welcomed today's commitment to proceed with mandatory fortification of food with folate.
This trial evaluated the lot consistency, early immune responses and safety of the vaccine against serogroup B Neisseria meningitidis (4CMenB) - in 11 to 17...
In this study, we report the case of an adolescent NMC patient presenting with severe facial pain, proptosis and visual impairment due to a mass arising from...
A Kimberley study seeking to better understand Strep A in remote settings is helping to guide new approaches to prevent acute rheumatic fever (ARF) – an auto-immune response that typically begins with a sore throat and causes high fever, tiredness and swollen joints.
A leading tuberculosis researcher from The Kids Research Institute Australia and Curtin University has been named a finalist for the Association of Australian Medical Research Institutes (AAMRI) 2024 Rising Star Award.
This manuscript sheds light on the impact of maternal breast milk antibodies on infant health. Milk antibodies prepare and protect the newborn against environmental exposure, guide and regulate the offspring's immune system, and promote transgenerational adaptation of the immune system to its environment.
Both vector and mRNA vaccines were an important part of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic and may be required in future outbreaks and pandemics. The aim of this study was to validate whether immunogenicity differs for adenoviral vectored (AdV) versus mRNA vaccines against SARS-CoV-2, and to investigate how anti-vector immunity and B cell dynamics modulate immunogenicity.
There is mounting concern over the potential harms associated with ultra-processed foods, including poor mental health and antisocial behavior. Cutting-edge research provides an enhanced understanding of biophysiological mechanisms, including microbiome pathways, and invites a historical reexamination of earlier work that investigated the relationship between nutrition and criminal behavior. Here, in this perspective article, we explore how this emergent research casts new light and greater significance on previous key observations.
