Insufficient Time

Vaccine effectiveness (VE) was consistently high following two doses (94.6–97.4%) and three doses (96.1%) of the tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) vaccine. These data support the public health value of providing two doses of the TBE vaccine to a traveller to an endemic area presenting with insufficient time to complete the full three-dose primary series.

Harmful Behavior

Opioid litigation continues a growing public health litigation trend in which governments seek to hold companies responsible for population harms related to their products. The litigation can serve to address gaps in regulatory and legislative policymaking and in market self-regulation pervasive in the prescription opioid domain. Moreover, prior opioid settlements have satisfied civil tort litigation objectives of obtaining compensation for injured parties, deterring harmful behavior, and holding certain opioid manufacturers, distributors and pharmacies accountable for their actions. In this way, opioid litigation represents progress over prior public health litigation campaigns involving tobacco, lead paint, and asbestos, which had more limited tort litigation effects. Although opioid litigation is not a comprehensive solution to the opioid crisis, it can complement other strategies and infuse much needed money, behavior changes, and public accountability for prescription opioid and related harms.

In low resource settings, maternal anthropometry may complicate time based  monitoring of childbirth. We set out to determine the effect of maternal  anthropometry and foetal birth weight on the duration of childbirth. Birth related secondary data from 987 mothers with pregnancies of ≥ 37 weeks, singleton baby and a normal childbirth were obtained. This data was analysed for regression coefficients and Interclass correlations coefficients (ICCs). The mean duration of childbirth was 7.63hours. Each centimetre increase in maternal pelvis height led to a 0.56hours increase for the first stage (P<0.01), 0.05hours reduction for second stage (P<0.01), and 0.46hours increase in total duration of childbirth (p<0.01). For each centimeter increase in maternal height there was a 0.04hours reduction in the first stage (P=0.01) and a 0.005hours increase in second stage (P=0.03). The ICCs with respect to geographical site were 0.40 for stage 1, 0.27 for stage 2 and 0.21 for stage 3. Additional modeling with tribe of mother did not change the ICCs. Maternal pelvis height and maternal height were found to have a significant effect on the duration of the different stages of normal childbirth. Additional study is needed into the public health value of the above measurements in relation to childbirth in these settings.Key words: Humans; anthropometry; childbirth; pelvis height;

Full Body

The Community-Acquired Pneumonia immunization Trial in Adults (CAPiTA) evaluated older adult pneumococcal vaccination and was one of the largest vaccine clinical trials ever conducted. Among older adults aged ≥65 years, the trial established 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) efficacy in preventing first episodes of bacteremic and nonbacteremic pneumococcal vaccine serotype (VT) community acquired pneumonia (CAP), and of vaccine serotype invasive pneumococcal disease (VT-IPD). Since the publication of the original trial results, 15 additional publications have extended the analyses. In this review, we summarize and integrate the full body of evidence generated by these studies, contextualize the results in light of their public health relevance, and discuss their implications for the assessment of current and future adult pneumococcal vaccination. This accumulating evidence has helped to better understand PCV13 efficacy, serotype-specific efficacy, efficacy in subgroups, the interpretation of immunogenicity data, and the public health value of adult PCV vaccination.

Indonesia is currently experiencing population problems, one of which is the population explosion or the continued significant increase in population volume in Indonesia, on the other hand the population distribution is uneven. Based on a population survey in 2010, Indonesia's population was 237.6 million with a population growth rate of around 1.49%. If the government does not succeed in reducing population growth, it is predicted that Indonesia's population in 2060 will reach 475 million - 500 million. One of the government's efforts to control the rate of population growth is through the implementation of the Family Planning (KB) program for Fertile Age Couples (PUS) with the use of contraception. The use of long-term contraceptive methods (MKJP) is still very low, the total of active family planning participants, only 17.45% of them use MKJP KB. Meanwhile, 81.23% were non use of long-term contraceptive methods users and 1.32% used traditional family planning. Public health center of Pakuan Baru in 2018 there were no active family planning participants who used long-term contraceptive methods.Therefore, it is necessary to provide education to increase knowledge of fertile age woman (PUS) about MKJP and increase the coverage of long-term contraceptive methods. Implementation time in Nopember2019-Januari 2020. The targets are women of childbearing age at the public health center of Pakuan Baru. Community service methods include survey and lecture approaches. The results obtained were that fertile age woman was able to understand about long-term contraceptive methods and willing to use long-term contraceptive methods. It is recommended that the public health center maintain the extension program related to long-term contraceptive methods that has been provided.
