“…In contrast to measles [10] this difference was fully explained by a differing vaccination coverage. Immigrant children are at particular risk of an incomplete immunisation [41]–[46]. In general, data on German vaccination coverage showed lower vaccination coverage for rubella in comparison to measles vaccination.…”

We have undertaken a seroprevalence study with more than 13,000 children, who had been included in the German KIGGS survey, a representative sample of children and adolescents 0–17 years of age. The IgG titres against measles, mumps and rubella were determined in 1 to 17 year olds While 88.8% of the children were MMR-vaccinated at least once, 76.8% of children aged 1 to 17 years showed prevalence of antibodies to MMR. The highest seronegativity was seen with respect to mumps. Gender differences were most pronounced with regard to rubella IgG titres: girls aged 14 to 17 years were best protected, although seronegativity in 6.8% of this vulnerable group still shows the need of improvement. Search for predictors of missing seroprevalence identified young age to be the most important predictor. Children living in the former West and children born outside of Germany had a higher risk of lacking protection against measles and rubella, while children with a migration background but born in Germany were less often seronegative to measles antibodies than their German contemporaries. An association of seronegativity and early vaccination was seen for measles but not for mumps and rubella. A high maternal educational level was associated with seronegativity to measles and rubella. In vaccinated children, seronegativity was highest for mumps and lowest for rubella. For mumps, high differences were observed for seronegativity after one-dose and two-dose vaccination, respectively. Seronegativity increases as time since last vaccination passes thus indicating significant waning effects for all three components of MMR.

Predictors of Vaccine Uptake among Migrants in the United States: A Rapid Systematic Review

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Evaluating challenges to vaccine uptake in non-US-born individuals is necessary for increasing national vaccination rates. This rapid review was conducted to investigate predictors of vaccine utilization among US migrants. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) checklist was utilized, along with the Rayyan webtool, to facilitate the process of identifying primary research articles. Data were independently extracted by using a piloted, customized form. This was tabulated and the results were reported. Of the 186 abstracts reviewed, nine articles were included. Populations included in this review were refugees (n = 1), undocumented migrants (n = 1), migrants crossing the US–Mexico border (n = 2), Blacks (n = 1), and US-born vs. non-US-born adults (n = 1). Three studies focused on “foreign-born” children. The vaccines included in the literature reviewed were both combined series and individual, with one study addressing immunization instead of specific vaccines. Detailed characteristics of these studies and their quality evaluations were also reported. This review identified gaps in research regarding immunization among different migrant groups. Multilevel interventions should be considered to leverage the existing facilitators and address the known modifiable barriers to creating an accessible and supportive environment for marginalized populations.

“…En nuestro estudio los niños de familias inmigrantes nacidos en España que utilizan los servicios de atención primaria presentan altas coberturas vacunales durante los pri-meros 24 meses de vida, similares a las alcanzadas en niños de familias autóctonas. Estos datos contrastan con la percepción, apoyada por algunos estudios, que relacionaría la inmigración con un peor cumplimiento del calendario vacunal [1][2][3] , y concuerdan con un estudio realizado previamente en la ciudad de Barcelona en el que se había descrito una buena cobertura vacunal en los niños de familias inmigrantes que tienen acceso a los servicios preventivos 4 .…”

Comparisons of immunisation accessibility between non-US born and US-born children in New York City

Abstract: Major steps have been taken in NYC to help increase access to immunisation services by using free public health immunisation programs. Such programs should be expanded to target non-US-born children and their parents. Such educational and outreach programs need to be culturally sensitive.
