HPV-FASTER: broadening the scope for prevention of HPV-related cancer.
women. We propose extending routine vaccination programmes to women of up to 30 years of age (and to the 45-50-year age groups in some settings), paired with at least one HPV-screening test at age 30 years ...
Immediate referral to colposcopy versus cytological surveillance for minor cervical cytological abnormalities in the absence of HPV test.
compliance is not assured. These results emphasize the need for an accurate reflex HPV triage test to distinguish women who need diagnostic follow-up from those who can return safely to routine recall. Health ...

Batch release of vaccines in Europe: from method transfer to first commercial batch available on the market. Straightforward approach that requires a proactive mindset of the manufacturer.
“Official Control Authority Batch Release” (OCABR) and consists of analytical controls and document review which are additional to the routine release testing that must be carried out by the manufacturer for ...
Quantifying the burden of stillbirths before 28 weeks of completed gestational age in high-income countries: a population-based study of 19 European countries.
exclude a third of stillbirths. International consistency of reporting stillbirths at 24 weeks to less than 28 weeks suggests these deaths should be included in routinely reported comparisons. This addition ...
Status and potential of bacterial genomics for public health practice: a scoping review
Science, Volume 14 (2019) Abstract: Background Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is increasingly being translated into routine public health practice, affecting the surveillance and control of many pathogens. ...
Differences in Antigenic Structure of Inactivated Polio Vaccines Made From Sabin Live-Attenuated and Wild-Type Poliovirus Strains: Impact on Vaccine Potency Assays.
removed from the live-attenuated oral polio vaccine (OPV). This change implies a need to improve global coverage through routine immunization with inactivated polio vaccine (IPV), to ensure type 2 immunity. ...
Identifying immunity gaps for measles using Belgian serial serology data.
Vaccine-preventable diseases, such as measles, have been re-emerging in countries with moderate to high vaccine uptake. It is increasingly important to identify and close immunity gaps and increase coverage of routine ...
Exploring the added value of Whole Genome Sequencing in routine and pandemic viral surveillance
applications have remained unexploited in the context of routine surveillance, which is the core business of national reference centres and public health institutes such as Sciensano. The virus surveillance aims ...
