Dear All,
PUBLISHING TRENDS, VACCINE PREVENTABLE DISEASES
The records of the National Library of Medicine show the following number of publications on twelve of the vaccine preventable diseases.
Remarkably, TB accounts for almost half of the total, probably because of the huge literature on clinical aspects and the HIV/TB linkage. Why does polio round out the bottom half of the list? It would be interesting to see if smallpox publications declined during the last years of the smallpox eradication programme.
It will be interesting to see what happens to meningitis publications, now that Africa’s meningitis belt has seen 103 million MenA shots in a veritable blitzkrieg of vaccination.
Good reading.
