Summary: The risk of meningococcal transmission is increased by crowding and prolonged close contact. India faces a unique situation with significant IMD-related complications despite a low reported incidence. Preventive measures may require broader meningococcal vaccination and enhanced disease surveillance.

Summary: Travel health advisors in Germany recommend seasonal influenza vaccination (SIV) for a considerable proportion of travelers, but SIV availability outside the German influenza season is very limited. Overcoming current organizational barriers is essential to increase vaccination coverage among international travelers.

Summary: During the 2018-19 New South Wales summer influenza epidemic, travel-related factors were early drivers, while local transmission sustained the outbreak despite unfavorable conditions later in the summer. There was no significant association between travel-related factors and overseas transmission, as well as seasonal influenza vaccination status.

Summary: Vaccination is an efficient way to prevent influenza infection. Research has found that vaccination behavior can spread through social contacts. By developing a model, the optimal timing for vaccination programs was determined, showing that in regions with high coverage, vaccination uptake is faster.

Summary: Optimizing the timing of influenza vaccination based on regional temporal seasonal influenza illness patterns may make seasonal influenza vaccination more effective in China. There are distinct seasonal influenza epidemic patterns in different regions of mainland China. Epidemic lead times vary significantly by age group and city size, with longer lead times for 5- to 18-year-old children and larger cities.

Summary: Mass gathering events can lead to monkeypox outbreaks, but they can be controlled through public health measures such as isolating cases and vaccinating close contacts. Contact tracing, vaccination, and isolation of close contacts are more effective during summer gatherings. Reducing the number of attendees and effective contacts, as well as vaccination requirements, can prevent outbreaks.

Summary: The global influenza vaccination rates are generally low, especially in the general population. High-income countries/regions have significantly higher vaccination rates compared to middle-income countries/regions. Factors such as free vaccination policies, perception of vaccine efficacy, healthcare workers' recommendations, and vaccination history positively influence vaccine uptake.

Summary: This study provides important information for understanding influenza epidemiology and informing influenza vaccine policy. Infants born during influenza epidemics were protected from infection that first year. The mean effective reproduction number across years was 1.2.

Summary: A retrospective analysis showed a positive and significant association between influenza vaccination during pregnancy and infant influenza vaccination. Infants born to vaccinated mothers had higher vaccination coverage compared to infants born to non-vaccinated mothers. Increasing influenza vaccination coverage among pregnant individuals may also increase infant vaccination coverage.

Summary: Syndromic surveillance involves collecting real-time data from various sources to detect disease outbreaks earlier than traditional surveillance methods. However, this review suggests that syndromic surveillance may not be a reliable method for detecting critical public health events during mass gathering scenarios.

Summary: Recent prior influenza A infection enhances antibody responses to subsequent influenza vaccination and broadens the reactivity to different strains. Immunological memory induced by prior infection plays an important role in vaccine responses.

Summary: With ongoing cholera outbreaks in many countries, the risk to MG events cannot be ignored. Cholera vaccine should be used to vaccinate high-risk populations in affected countries, but the lack of supply calls for an increase in vaccine availability.

Summary: Vaccination plays a crucial role in reducing travel risk and rebuilding travel confidence. However, trust in the vaccine, travel confidence after vaccination, and travel intention do not directly affect travel behavior. This study suggests that vaccination should not be the sole solution for tourism reboot in the early stage.

Summary: Influenza vaccines not only protect against infection but also potentially induce nonspecific effects, such as immunological memory and modulation of cytokines. This article discusses the possible impacts of influenza vaccination on cardiovascular disease, type 1 diabetes, cancer, and Alzheimer's disease.
