Individual-level data linkage allowed examination of associations of sociodemographic variables with MMR and DTaP-IPV vaccination status at age 2 years. We calculated coverage for each variable, stratified by birth cohort. Multivariable Poisson regression assessed independent associations and changes in coverage over time.RESULTSMMR coverage decreased in all population subgroups (overall 95% in cohort 2008 and 89% in cohort 2020), more substantially in some. In multivariable analysis, children of non-Dutch origin, particularly Moroccan and Turkish origin, showed more pronounced declines (respectively -25% and -12% as children of Dutch origin in cohort 2020). Among children not attending daycare and children living in larger families (≥ 4 children), coverage declined faster than in those attending daycare and living in smaller families (both -12% in cohort 2020). Coverage among children of self-employed mothers and children in the lowest income households was lower than among children of mothers in employment and the highest income households (respectively -8% and -7% in cohort 2020). Trends for DTaP-IPV vaccination were nearly identical.CONCLUSIONChildhood vaccination coverage in the Netherlands declined substantially, with increasing disparities between sociodemographic groups. Vaccination efforts should be prioritised to protect public health equitably.","PeriodicalId":12161,"journal":{"name":"Eurosurveillance","volume":"30 39","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.8,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12495380/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145211906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The outcome was a pertussis-associated hospitalisation. Multivariable logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios (OR) for the association between vaccination status and hospitalisation, adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity and deprivation status.RESULTSThere were 3,982 laboratory-confirmed cases of pertussis during the study period. Children fully vaccinated for age had significantly lower odds of hospitalisations than unvaccinated children (adjusted OR (aOR): 0.31; 95% CI: 0.21-0.46). Being partially vaccinated for age did not significantly reduce hospitalisations relative to unvaccinated children (aOR: 0.80; 95% CI: 0.47-1.33).

Epidemiological, environmental and genomic investigations (nested sequence-based typing and whole genome sequencing (WGS)) were undertaken to locate the outbreak source, characterise the causal Legionella strain, and understand its spread. Through a positive urinary antigen test, 28 cases (14 male; 14 female) with 70 years median age (range: 42-88 years) were diagnosed. Two died. For nine cases, typing revealed L. pneumophila serogroup 1 (Lp 1) sequence type (ST) 62 infection. Mapping where cases were during their incubation period pointed to a place south-west of Strasbourg city as the outbreak epicentre. There, in the biomass condensing boiler of a heating plant, high Lp 1 contamination levels (105-106 CFU/L) were discovered. Eight environmental Lp 1 isolates from inside the plant were ST62. Analysing WGS data from these isolates and the nine Lp 1 ST62 clinical isolates, found their sequences clustering with zero to two single nt polymorphisms. Sub-optimal maintenance and warm weather before the boiler started operating may have allowed Lp 1 proliferation within, with boiler fumes subsequently disseminating Lp 1, thereby exposing people. This outbreak highlights potential LD risks arising from innovative energy-saving heat production processes designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.","PeriodicalId":12161,"journal":{"name":"Eurosurveillance","volume":"30 41","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.8,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145307354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 2017, when few Italian regions had rotavirus vaccination programmes, rotavirus vaccines were included in the National Plan for Preventive Vaccination (PNPV). Although all Italian regions follow the PNPV, they each decide how to implement it, contributing to rotavirus vaccination coverage differences across the country.AIMThe objective was to assess rotavirus vaccination national/regional policies in Italy and, between 2016 and 2023, vaccination coverage trends at national and regional level.METHODSScientific and grey literature was systematically reviewed for reports on Italian national/regional policies or programmes concerning rotavirus vaccination. Their key features and strategies to increase vaccination coverage were recorded. Vaccination coverage data originating from the Ministry of Health, were analysed descriptively, or with linear regression, for national and regional trends.RESULTSAmong 418 policy/programme reports identified, 25 were included. Between 2013 and 2015, Sicilia, Calabria and Puglia had already initiated universal vaccination programmes. The PNPV 2017-19 standardised regions' offer of rotavirus vaccination. Between 2016 and 2023, vaccination coverage in Italy significantly increased (p = 0.0005) from 10.5% to 70.76%, with a 140% rise in 2019-20. Regional coverage disparities existed. Throughout 2016-23, most central Italian regions had annual coverages below national values. Bolzano annual coverage was consistently < 50%, while in Veneto, coverage reached 85.10% in 2021.
