Q3: How many doses of meningococcal vaccine are required for grades 7 through 11? A3: One dose of meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MenACWY; sometimes abbreviated as MCV4; brand names Menactra or Menveo) is required for entry into grades 7 through 11. Q4: How many doses of meningococcal vaccine are required for grade 12? A4: A total of two doses of MenACWY vaccine, administered a minimum of 8 weeks apart, are required for entry into grade 12. The second dose must be administered no sooner than 16 years of age. However, if the first dose of MenACWY vaccine was received at 16 years of age or older, then a second dose will not be required.

  • COVID-19 Vaccines: Summary of Current State-Of-Play Prepared Under Urgency 21 May 2020 – Updated 16 July 2020
    Office of the Prime Minister’s Chief Science Advisor Kaitohutohu Mātanga Pūtaiao Matua ki te Pirimia COVID-19 vaccines: Summary of current state-of-play Prepared under urgency 21 May 2020 – updated 16 July 2020 The COVID-19 pandemic has spurred a global effort to find a vaccine to protect people from SARS- CoV-2 infection. This summary highlights selected candidates, explains the different types of vaccines being investigated and outlines some of the potential issues and risks that may arise during the clinical testing process and beyond. Key points • There are at least 22 vaccine candidates registered in clinical (human) trials, out of a total of at least 194 in various stages of active development. • It is too early to choose a particular frontrunner as we lack safety and efficacy information for these candidates. • It is difficult to predict when a vaccine will be widely available. The fastest turnaround from exploratory research to vaccine approval was previously 4–5 years (ebolavirus vaccine), although it is likely that current efforts will break this record. • There are a number of challenges associated with accelerated vaccine development, including ensuring safety, proving efficacy in a rapidly changing pandemic landscape, and scaling up manufacture. • The vaccine that is licensed first will not necessarily confer full or long-lasting protection. 1 Contents Key points .................................................................................................................................. 1 1.

  • Vaccination to Prevent COVID-19
    Vaccination to prevent COVID-19 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society Scientific Issues Committee Alvaro Sanchez-Ferro, Lorraine Kalia, Roy Alcalay, Helen Chiang, Un Jung Kang, Stella Papa Emergency use authorization of COVID-19 vaccines • The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), the European Medicines Agency (EMA), and Health Canada among other agencies have recently approved BNT162b2 (Pfizer/BioNTech) and mRNA-1273 (Moderna) vaccines for emergency use authorization or regular authorization for one year in the case of EMA. • The approval process by these regulatory entities includes thorough analyses of completed Phase III data provided by vaccine developers in a transparent process that includes peer-reviewed publication of full data sets. • The approval of both vaccines met the high standards required for use authorization after complete data scrutiny and validation, as required in the normal process of a vaccine approval. • Additional COVID-19 vaccines that are still in experimental phases II and III will eventually undergo the same scrutiny before emergency use authorization. Questions and Concerns The development and approval of COVID-19 vaccines reached record times compared with the typical timeframes of previous vaccines. The regulatory agencies have also expedited the vaccines approval for emergency use authorization or limited authorization for one year. As a result of this accelerated pace, there are doubts and concerns about the benefits and risks of these new vaccines that need to be addressed. In this presentation we will discuss critical points about: • Properties of the novel mRNA-based vaccines, • Efficacy data, • Safety data, • Clinical significance particularly for patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD).
