Fever is a frequent systemic adverse event following immunization, especially in infants and young children. Any fever after immunization may be caused by immunization or may coincide temporally as an indication of underlying disease, usually an infectious one. The time pattern of fever attributable to immunization has characteristic features depending on the vaccine used. Comparability of fever rates associated with different vaccines, or the same vaccines in different studies, is frequently…

Fever following administration of two inactivated influenza vaccines--a survey of parents of New Zealand infants and children 5 years of age and under.

Perception and management of fever in infants up to six months of age: A survey of US pediatricans

TLDR
Recommendations for the management of fever in infants are likely to depend on fever severity level, the infant age, timing in relation to recent vaccination, and the time of day fever is reported.

Comparison of Postvaccination Fever between Single and Multiple Vaccines using Patient-Generated Health Data: A Retrospective Observational Study (Preprint)

TLDR
Investigating the postvaccination fever patterns of six vaccines recommended for children aged 2-6 months in the National Immunization Program of Korea found multiple vaccinations did not induce more severe fever or have rapid onset compared with a single vaccination.

Biologically plausible and evidence-based risk intervals in immunization safety research.

Comparison of the immunogenicity and safety of 3 inactivated hepatitis A vaccines in Korean children aged 12 to 18 months

TLDR
The results indicate that the most commonly used inactivated hepatitis A vaccines were safe and immunogenic in ethnic Korean children and will be informative to countries that plan to initiate vaccination programs against HAV.

Vaccination in Elite Athletes

TLDR
Very few discipline-specific considerations apply to an athlete’s vaccination schedule mainly from the competition and training pattern as well as from the typical geographical distribution of competitive sites.

Fever and breast cancer: A critical review of the literature and possible underlying mechanisms.

TLDR
The efficacy of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs was discussed as a therapeutic option to control postoperative fever and the chemotherapy-induced neutropenic fever and cancer vaccination-induced fever were reviewed.

Immunogenicity and Safety of an Inactivated SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine: Preclinical Studies

TLDR
A whole virus NRC-VACC-01 inactivated candidate SARS-CoV-2 vaccine was developed and tested its safety and immunogenicity in laboratory animals and it was revealed that the vaccine was highly tolerable.

Limitations of the rabbit pyrogen test for assessing meningococcal OMV based vaccines.

TLDR
The rabbit pyrogen test was developed in the early 1900's to detect contaminating pyrogens in parenteral medicines but is unsuitable as a safety test for these products due to the high levels of endotoxin present in the vaccine.

Applicability, reliability, sensitivity, and specificity of six Brighton Collaboration standardized case definitions for adverse events following immunization.

TLDR
The bacterial causes, essential diagnostic tests, clinical assessment, judicious use of antibiotics, and follow up in unexplained, difficult to diagnose bacterial infection causing fever in young children are discussed.

Association of reactions after consecutive acellular or whole-cell pertussis vaccine immunizations.

TLDR
Reactions after a second or third immunization with either WCL or DTaP vaccine are more likely to occur in infants who had the same reaction after the preceding immunization.

CONTEXT The rate of febrile seizures increases following measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccination but it is unknown whether the rate varies according to personal or family history of seizures,…

Varicella vaccine studies in healthy children and adults.

TLDR
Clinical trials designed to obtain information on minimum dose immunogenicity pre- and postexposure prophylaxis, immunization of various age groups, and booster immunizations for seropositive individuals documented a 94% to 100% seroconversion rate and persistence of antibodies at 3 to 4 years.

TLDR
Inactivated trivalent influenza A vaccines are well-tolerated and efficacious in the prevention of influenza A disease in children 1 to 16 years old.

Comparison of 13 acellular pertussis vaccines: adverse reactions.

TLDR
Although there were differences among the acellular vaccines, none was consistently the most or least reactogenic; all were associated with substantially fewer and less severe adverse reactions than a standard commercial whole-cell vaccine.

TLDR
Seizures associated with DTP vaccine have similar clinical characteristics as febrile seizures, and persistent crying is initiated by painful local reactions.
