Monitoring stance towards vaccination in twitter messages.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: We developed a system to automatically classify stance towards vaccination in Twitter messages, with a focus on messages with a negative stance. Such a system makes it possible to monitor the ongoing stream of messages on social media, of...

SIMON, an Automated Machine Learning System, Reveals Immune Signatures of Influenza Vaccine Responses.

Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)
Machine learning holds considerable promise for understanding complex biological processes such as vaccine responses. Capturing interindividual variability is essential to increase the statistical power necessary for building more accurate predictive...

Sentiment Analysis of Social Media on Childhood Vaccination: Development of an Ontology.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: Although vaccination rates are above the threshold for herd immunity in South Korea, a growing number of parents have expressed concerns about the safety of vaccines. It is important to understand these concerns so that we can maintain hi...

Regional level influenza study based on Twitter and machine learning method.

PloS one
The significance of flu prediction is that the appropriate preventive and control measures can be taken by relevant departments after assessing predicted data; thus, morbidity and mortality can be reduced. In this paper, three flu prediction models, ...

The use of natural language processing to identify Tdap-related local reactions at five health care systems in the Vaccine Safety Datalink.

International journal of medical informatics
OBJECTIVE: Local reactions are the most common vaccine-related adverse event. There is no specific diagnosis code for local reaction due to vaccination. Previous vaccine safety studies used non-specific diagnosis codes to identify potential local rea...

CbpM and CbpG of Streptococcus Pneumoniae Elicit a High Protection in Mice Challenged with a Serotype 19F Pneumococcus.

Iranian journal of allergy, asthma, and immunology
Among many pneumococcal antigens, choline-binding proteins (CPBs) display a high immunogenicity in animal models. This study aims to determine the immunogenicity of CbpM, CbpG and CbpL proteins of Streptococcus pneumoniae in a mice model. The genes w...

Estimation of the Basic Reproduction Number and Vaccination Coverage of Influenza in the United States (2017-18).

Journal of research in health sciences
BACKGROUND: Determining the epidemic threshold parameter helps health providers calculate the coverage while guiding them in planning the process of vaccination strategy. Since the trend and mechanism of influenza is very similar in different countri...

Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) seroprevalence and current epidemiology in England and Wales.

The Journal of infection
INTRODUCTION: The implementation of the Hib conjugate vaccine in the United Kingdom in 1992 resulted in a rapid decline in invasive Hib disease across all age groups. However, a resurgence in 2000-2002 prompted the introduction of additional control ...

Randomized clinical trial of a single versus a double dose of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in adults 55 through 74 years of age previously vaccinated with 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine.

Vaccine
INTRODUCTION: In older adults, prior administration of 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) blunts the opsonophagocytic antibody (OPA) response to subsequent administration of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13). To det...
