Factors associated with uptake of influenza and pertussis vaccines among pregnant women in South AustraliaHassen Mohammed1,2,3*, Michelle Clarke 1,2,3, Ann Koehler4, Maureen Watson4, Helen Marshall 1,2,3#a,51 The Robinson Research Institute, University of Adelaide, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia, 2 Adelaide Medical School, University of Adelaide, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia 3 Vaccinology and Immunology Research Trials Unit (VIRTU), Women's and Children's Hospital, North Adelaide, South Australia, Australia 4 The Communicable Disease Control Branch (CDCB), South Australia, Australia 5 School of Public Health, University of Adelaide, Adelaide, South Australia, AustraliaBackgroundMaternal immunization is an effective strategy to protect pregnant women and their infants from vaccine-preventable diseases. Despite the recommendation of maternal influenza and more recently pertussis immunization in Australia, uptake of these vaccines has been suboptimal. A midwife delivered immunization program for pregnant women at the Womenu2019s and Childrenu2019s Hospital in South Australia commenced in April 2015. Monitoring the uptake of the current funded vaccine programs for pregnant women is limited. The study aimed to estimate maternal vaccine uptake and assess factors associated with influenza and pertussis vaccine uptake among pregnant women.MethodsThis prospective study was undertaken between November 2014 and July 2016 at the Womenu2019s and Childrenu2019s Hospital. Following consent, demographic details and vaccination history for South Australian pregnant women who attended the antenatal clinic were collected. A standardised self-reported survey was completed during pregnancy with a follow up telephone interview at 8-10 weeks post-delivery. Results 205 women consented and completed the self-reported survey. Of the 180 pregnant women who completed the study, 76% and 81% received maternal influenza and pertussis vaccines respectively. The adjusted odds of women receiving maternal vaccines during pregnancy were significantly higher for women delivering after the implementation of the midwife delivered program compared with women who delivered babies prior to the program for both pertussis vaccination (AOR 21.17, 95% CI 6.14-72.95; p

The National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance (NCIRS) is located within the Kids Research Institute (KRI) at Westmead Children's Hospital. It is somewhat hidden away from the children's hospital, and no easier to navigate internally once you find the building on your first day. During my two years there, I was part of the Coverage, Evaluation and Surveillance (CES) Program Stream, which met monthly to discuss achievements and deliverables of the group. As an active member, I was encouraged to keep the group up to date on my progress throughout my MAE journey. The Western Sydney Public Health Unit (WSPHU) is located at Cumberland Hospital adjacent to Westmead Children's Hospital. I spent two weeks at the PHU, observing and assisting wherever possible. I helped with a measles outbreak, including contract tracing, interviewing people, maintaining clinical line lists, informing high-risk people of a measles-clinic and assisting medical staff during the running of the measles-clinic. During this emergency response, all high-risk people (including pregnant mothers and newborn babies) were contacted and provided with appropriate prophylaxis to prevent illness. During my time there, I was also very fortunate to lead a Salmonella outbreak investigation (Chapter 3). The Communicable Diseases Branch (CDB) is located in the Ministry of Health building in North Sydney. I spent almost four months there conducting the epidemiological investigation (Chapter 4). During my time at the CDB, I attended staff meetings, afternoon debriefs, surveillance meetings and an in-house emergency response workshop. I was also very fortunate to be funded to attend the OzFoodNet whole genome workshop in Melbourne. I also assisted with two Legionella outbreaks, where I helped to maintain line-lists and the Sit-Rep, and attended the afternoon meetings, where I was asked to take, transcribe and distribute minutes of meeting from time to time. I truly enjoyed my experience at the CDB, NSW Health. 1.2 Summary of my public health experience 1.2.1 Analysis of a public health dataset (Chapter 2) In November 2005, hepatitis A vaccine was funded under the Australian National Immunisation Program for Indigenous children aged 12-24 months in the targeted jurisdictions of Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory. I reviewed the epidemiology of hepatitis A from 2000-2014 using data from the Australian National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System, the National Hospital Morbidity Database, and Australian Bureau of Statistics causes-of-death data. Overall, the national hepatitis A immunisation program has had a significant impact in the targeted population with relatively modest vaccine coverage, with evidence of substantial herd protection effects. 1.2.2 Outbreak Investigation (Chapter 3) During May 2015, an increase in Salmonella Agona cases was reported from western Sydney, Australia. I present the public health actions used to investigate and control this increase. A descriptive case-series investigation was conducted. Six outbreak cases were identified; all had consumed cooked tuna sushi rolls purchased within a western Sydney shopping complex. Onset of illness for outbreak cases occurred between 7 April and 24 May 2015. Salmonella was isolated from food samples collected from the implicated premise and a prohibition order issued. No further cases were identified following this action. In addition, this outbreak investigation also demonstrated genomics-enhanced public health action, where whole genome sequencing significantly enhanced the resolution of the epidemiological investigation. 1.2.3 Epidemiological investigation (Chapter 4) Among adults, pneumococcal pneumonia causes significant mortality and morbidity. While the funding of polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccines have reduced the incidence of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in older people, uncertainty remains regarding their effectiveness against reducing the hospitalisation rate due to community acquired pneumonia. In this study I use linked-data to document that approximately one in seven hospital admissions coded for pneumococcal pneumonia in older people of NSW were due to invasive pneumococcal disease. The remaining six hospital admissions were presumptive non-invasive pneumococcal pneumonia cases. I also documented significant declines in the rate and severity of hospitalisations over time due to presumptive non-invasive pneumococcal pneumonia. The pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine that was used for adults has not been consistently shown to be effective against non-invasive pneumococcal pneumonia hospitalisations, while the conjugate vaccine used in the children program has provided substantial indirect protection against IPD to adults. The results presented here could impact on cost-effectiveness of pneumococcal vaccine programs in Australia. 1.2.4 Evaluation of a surveillance system (Chapter 5) The AusVaxSafety enhanced active surveillance system was established in 2014 and has two main functions. Firstly, to gather near real-time data of AEFI following seasonal influenza vaccination of children aged between six months and five; secondly, to collate, interpret and disseminate these results in near real-time to stakeholders and the public. AusVaxSafety was evaluated to assess the usefulness of the information collected; identify strengths and limitations; and provide feedback to stakeholders regarding recommendations to the system. During the 2015 influenza season, the AusVaxSafety successfully demonstrated, in real-time, that influenza vaccines registered for used in children aged six months to five years were safe, well tolerated, and that the AEFIs experienced were within expected ranges.

Despite having a well-established and successful National Immunisation Program (NIP), vaccine preventable diseases continue to affect communities and result in large outbreaks in Australia. Because of the dynamic nature of vaccine preventable diseases, surveillance and monitoring of epidemiological trends are necessary for informing appropriate policy development and vaccine delivery. In this thesis, I present selected works under the theme of the epidemiology of vaccine preventable diseases which I conducted while placed at the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance (NCIRS) from March 2012-2014 as a Master of Philosophy Applied Epidemiology (MAE) Scholar. The works presented comprise my MAE requirements, of which a core component is to investigate an outbreak. My first outbreak investigation was a foodborne outbreak of staphylococcal gastroenteritis at an elite athletic event, where fried rice and chicken were suspected as the cause. The remainder of my MAE work related to vaccine preventable diseases and I participated in the public health response to a state-wide outbreak of measles, including a specific investigation to determine the source of infection for a cluster of four cases infected in a paediatric hospital Emergency Department (ED). I developed an algorithm for this contact tracing investigation, although the source of infection was never identified. Measles was also the subject of my applied epidemiological project, where I considered characteristics of measles in the post-elimination era with an emphasis on the role of healthcare setting transmissions in perpetuating outbreaks. In the 2012 outbreak, 16 individuals infected with measles transmitted the illness to 36 others in EDs and General Practice (GP) clinics. In addition, I examined the vaccine effectiveness of the measles vaccine that may allow outbreaks to persist in a setting of high vaccine coverage. I analysed pertussis trends in Australia from 2006-2012, which revealed that the average annual notification rate was more than 2.8 times that of the previous decade with a significant change in the pattern of age-specific incidence. The steepest increases in notification rates were among children less than 10 years, especially those 2-4 years and 6-9 years of age. Reasons for this shift include increased diagnostic testing and more rapid waning of effectiveness post vaccination with acellular vaccines compared to whole cell vaccines used in previous decades. The shift was exacerbated by cessation of the 18 month dose in the National Immunisation Program (NIP) from 2003. Lastly, I evaluated Australia's post-marketing surveillance for intussusception following the introduction of the rotavirus vaccines in 2007. The evaluation found that despite not having planned surveillance, Australian systems evolved to include several surveillance components that were more effective than the nation's passive adverse event following immunisation (AEFI) surveillance system at detecting cases and assessing causality. The work in this thesis contributed to the work of NCIRS and improves our understanding of the epidemiology of vaccine preventable diseases in Australia.
