  • Adults with DIABETES Are Among Those Who Need Pneumococcal
    Patients with diabetes are at an increased risk for complications from pneumococcal disease. Diabetes may be a unique risk factor for increased incidence of sepsis associated with pneumococcal infection. One of the reasons people with diabetes are at greater risk for pneumococcal disease is that they may have abnormalities in immune function that affect their reaction to infection. Pneumococcal disease causes serious illnesses like pneumonia, meningitis, and sepsis. Pneumococcal disease is serious and deadly. In the US, pneumococcal pneumonia, meningitis, and sepsis kill tens of thousands each year. Pneumococcal disease survivors may suffer hearing loss, seizures, blindness, or paralysis. Pneumococcal vaccination is recommended for all adults with diabetes. Adults with DIABETES Are Among Those Who Need Pneumococcal Vaccination There are two types of pneumococcal vaccine recommended for US adults: a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) and a pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23). Adults 65 and older, and adults age 19 to 64 years with any of the following need to receive both vaccines: immunocompromising conditions or treatments (e.g., HIV/AIDS, leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin disease, radiation therapy); a damaged or missing spleen; cochlear implants; or cerebrospinal fluid leaks. Other adults for whom pneumococcal vaccination is recommended only need PPSV23, but may need more than one dose and will need PCV13 when they, too, reach age 65. Please refer to the Adult Pneumococcal Vaccination Guide or visit cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd-vac/pneumo/ for details on timing of vaccine doses. For more information and resources to educate patients about pneumococcal disease, visit adultvaccination.org/professional-resources/pneumo This initiative is supported by unrestricted educational grants from Merck & Co., Inc.

  • Vaccine Adjuvants Derived from Marine Organisms
    biomolecules Review Vaccine Adjuvants Derived from Marine Organisms Nina Sanina Department of Biochemistry, Microbiology and Biotechnology, School of Natural Sciences, Far Eastern, Federal University, Sukhanov Str., 8, Vladivostok 690091, Russia; [email protected]; Tel.: +7-423-265-2429 Received: 10 July 2019; Accepted: 1 August 2019; Published: 3 August 2019 Abstract: Vaccine adjuvants help to enhance the immunogenicity of weak antigens. The adjuvant effect of certain substances was noted long ago (the 40s of the last century), and since then a large number of adjuvants belonging to different groups of chemicals have been studied. This review presents research data on the nonspecific action of substances originated from marine organisms, their derivatives and complexes, united by the name ‘adjuvants’. There are covered the mechanisms of their action, safety, as well as the practical use of adjuvants derived from marine hydrobionts in medical immunology and veterinary medicine to create modern vaccines that should be non-toxic and efficient. The present review is intended to briefly describe some important achievements in the use of marine resources to solve this important problem. Keywords: squalene; cucumariosides; chitosan; fucoidans; carrageenans; laminarin; alginate 1. Introduction The oil-in-water-based complete Freund’s adjuvant developed by Jules Freund and Katherine McDermott in 40s of last century is the first vaccine adjuvant.
