CDC Science Clips: Volume 12, Issue 14, May 5, 2020
Science Clips is produced weekly to enhance awareness of emerging scientific knowledge for the public health community. Each article features an Altmetric Attention scoreexternal icon to track social and mainstream media mentions!
Last week (April 24-30) was World Immunization Week.
During World Immunization Week (WIW) and every day, CDC celebrates health heroes who protect all of us—parents and caregivers, healthcare workers, frontline vaccinators, and our public health partners worldwide who work to save millions of lives from vaccine-preventable diseases. This year’s WIW is unlike any other. While we have made many gains toward eradication and elimination goals for vaccine-preventable diseases, we are focused on old and new challenges. The world has seen an increasing number of outbreaks of measles, diphtheria, yellow fever, vaccine-derived poliovirus, and other vaccine-preventable diseases over the past few years. Against this complex backdrop, we have the COVID-19 pandemic.
This week’s Science Clips features recent CDC-authored articles on immunization and articles on established or emerging vaccine-preventable diseases. To learn more about WIW, please visit https://www.cdc.gov/globalhealth/immunization/WIW/.
The report consists of these components:
- Key Scientific Articles in Featured Topic Areas
- World Immunization Week
Subject matter experts decide what topic to feature, and articles are selected from the last 3 to 6 months of published literature. Key topic coincides monthly with other CDC products (e.g. Vital Signs). The names of CDC authors are indicated in bold text.- Communicable Diseases
