Ten proposed measures to improve vaccination: Health care providers’ perspectives on promoting the vaccination intake of children with special healthcare needs in China by Xiang Guo, Tianxing Feng, Meiyi Chen, Xuran Zhao, Xiangshi Wang, Yanling Ge, Zhonglin Wang, Zhuoying Huang, Mei Zeng

“…The interview guide explored attitudes towards and suggestions for establishing immunisation advisory clinics and referral networks, updating immunisation guidance documents and vaccine package inserts and strengthening the education of vaccination providers.Results 21 representative healthcare providers were interviewed. 10 measures were proposed to promote routine immunisation for children with special needs: (1) using immunisation advisory clinics to provide vaccination services for CSHCN; (2) establishing a referral network and specifying which cases necessitate referral to advisory clinics; (3) using an interconnected information system to identify, document and follow-up the CSHCN; (4) supporting high-quality clinical research to update immunisation protocols; (5) providing clear and definite immunisation recommendations to parents of eligible CSHCN; (6) seeking immunisation advice from specialised professionals to enhance primary care capability; (7) creating quality improvement programmes; (8) considering immunisation status a mandatory assessment during specialist visits; (9) supporting off-label use of vaccines legally and (10) encouraging pharmaceutical companies to update vaccine package inserts.Conclusion Vaccine uptake among CSHCN in China is suboptimal, highlighting the need for a referral network and a standard immunisation protocol. …”

“…In a subgroup of patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), the occurrence of such complications is associated with an expansion of naïve-like CD21low B cells during a chronic type 1 immune activation. The glycosylation pattern of B cells in CVID patients has not been addressed to date.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to examine the surface glycome of B cells in patients with CVID and associated immune dysregulation.MethodsWe performed surface lectin staining on B cells from peripheral blood and tonsils, both ex vivo and after in vitro stimulation. …”
