A large outbreak of measles has spread across Italy over the year 2017. Its impact on emergency department (ED) of a tertiary-care teaching hospital and the related critical issues in public health were evaluated.
7 Abstract: Military personnel of all armed forces receive multiple vaccinations and have been doing so since long ago, but relatively few studies have investigated the possible negative or positive interference of simultaneous vaccinations. As a contribution to fill this gap, we analyzed the response to the live trivalent measles/mumps/rubella (MMR), the inactivated hepatitis A virus (HAV), the inactivated trivalent polio, and the trivalent subunits influenza vaccines in two cohorts of Italian military personnel.
