The goal is to ensure the attainment of a middle-income status in the year 2025 for a better life for all Ethiopians. In these endeavours, it is intended that rural and poor communities should have access to innovations, attain food security, and have accelerated status of development. It is also planned to provide new and more effective solutions to problems than those utilised previously in the overall national development efforts. Given the broad nature of this theme, priority will be given to basic, applied, and development research in the areas of agriculture, environmental and natural resources, climate change, agro-pastoralism, veterinary medicine, land use management, and<\\/span><\\/p>\"},\"elements\":[],\"widgetType\":\"text-editor\"}],\"isInner\":false}],\"isInner\":false},{\"id\":\"x9agwve\",\"elType\":\"section\",\"settings\":[],\"elements\":[{\"id\":\"dhj3g2n\",\"elType\":\"column\",\"settings\":{\"_column_size\":100,\"_inline_size\":null},\"elements\":[{\"id\":\"hgiirbf\",\"elType\":\"widget\",\"settings\":{\"editor\":\"<p><span style=\\\"font-family: \'times new roman\', times, serif;\\\"><a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/localhost\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2017\\/09\\/Theme-1-Description-1.pdf\\\"><u>For details, click here\\u00a0<\\/u><\\/a><\\/span><\\/p><p><span style=\\\"font-family: \'times new roman\', times, serif;\\\"><a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/localhost\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2017\\/10\\/2017-Theme-I-Priority-research-areas.pdf\\\"><u>Research priorities 2017<\\/u><\\/a><\\/span><\\/p><p><span style=\\\"font-family: \'times new roman\', times, serif;\\\"><a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/localhost\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2017\\/10\\/2016-Theme-I-Priority-research-areas.pdf\\\"><u>Research priorities 2016<\\/u><\\/a><\\/span><\\/p>\"},\"elements\":[],\"widgetType\":\"text-editor\"}],\"isInner\":false}],\"isInner\":false}]'),

It is part of east Hararghe. It is bordered on the south by Bedeno district, on the west by Meta district, on the north by Dire Dawa administrative council, on the northeast by Haramaya woreda, and on the southeast by Kurfa Chele district. The woreda capital is Kersa, which is 44 km from Harar west wards.<\\/p><p><strong>Topography:<\\/strong><\\/p><p>The district ranges from 1400 to 3200 meters above sea level. According to a survey of the land in Kersa 28.5% is arable or cultivable, 2.3% pasture, 6.2% forest, and the remaining 56.3% is considered built-up degraded or otherwise unusable. Chat, fruits and vegetables are important cash crops. Coffee is also an important cash crop, covering 5,000 hectares.<\\/p><p>In the woreda, there are 35 rural Kebeles and 3 small towns. According to the information obtained from the woreda administration, out of the 38 Kebeles, 2 are lowland, 22 are temperate, 7 are a mix of lowland and temperate and the remaining 7 are highland, containing 2.8 %, 60.2, %, 17 % and 20 % of the district population, respectively. All the Kebeles have road access.<\\/p><p><strong>Population: <\\/strong><\\/p><p>According to the 2007 census, the district has a total population of 172,626; out of which, 6.87 are urban dwellers. With an estimated area of 463.75 square kilometers, Kersa has an estimated population density of 372.24 people per square kilometer. The district has six health centers, 28 health posts and eight private pharmacies. The health service coverage of the woreda is 80 %.<\\/p><p><strong>The Need for Demographic and Health Surveillance:\\u00a0 <\\/strong><\\/p><p><strong>\\u00a0<\\/strong>Demographic and Health Surveillance is the continuous tracking of demographic and health data from a particular place for a continuous period of time. Such a program gives valid and reliable health information to health planners and facilitates evidence-based action unlike the traditional health system oriented generation of data.<\\/p><p>\\u00a0Traditional sources of health information collected from health facilities such as health centers and hospitals often serve as the basis for health-services planning and allocation of resources in Ethiopia. Yet, healthfacility-based data often provide fragmentary and biased information. Not all population groups have geographic or socio-economic access to health facilities. Those who do have such access are usually selfselected and are often those who visit health-care facilities when they suffer from a serious illness.<\\/p><p>Great majorities of poor people have less access to health-care facilities than those who are better off, and they often treat themselves or use traditional health care remedies. Women may suffer from gender disparities as well, with time and cultural constraints on the use of health-care facilities, particularly in rural settings. Services for children are also severely constrained. Thus, health-facility-based data are not representative of the health problems of all rural and urban communities and do not therefore reflect the health status of the population.<\\/p><p>\\u00a0This void of valid health information for a large segment of the Ethiopia\\u2019s population makes it difficult for policymakers to depend on valid information on the health situation of these people. The need to establish a reliable information base to support health development has never been given due attention.<\\/p><p>\\u00a0Ideally, reliable health information should be community based, inclusive of all groups, and collected prospectively and continuously. Such an ideal is best met through demographic and health surveillance systems collecting demographic, environment and health data on selected population samples. Such a continuous generation of data is indispensable in providing the necessary health services and advancing health science research and promoting quality education. Moreover, it plays a significant role in health planning strengthening staff research capacity and institutional development.<\\/p><p><strong>What we do in the field? <\\/strong><strong>\\u00a0<\\/strong><\\/p><p>At the KDS-HRC field site, we do a continuous tracking of vital events and health information. Demographic events that changes population characteristics such as births, deaths, immigration and outmigration are of particular interest.<\\/p><p>While deaths and out-migration reduces population size, immigration and birth increases population size, this dynamism is called open cohort.<\\/p><p>Other events like marital status change, immunization, morbidity and birth outcomes are also under follow-up. For deceased we fill verbal autopsy to identify the cause of death.<\\/p><p><a class=\\\"fancybox\\\" href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.haramaya.edu.et\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2014\\/06\\/Picture1.png\\\" rel=\\\"single-image\\\"><img class=\\\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6998\\\" src=\\\"http:\\/\\/gib.haramaya.edu\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2014\\/06\\/Picture1-300x222.png\\\" alt=\\\"Picture1\\\" width=\\\"300\\\" height=\\\"222\\\" \\/><\\/a><\\/p>\",\"_id\":\"krs0e35\"},{\"tab_title\":\"Project\",\"tab_content\":\"<p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">\\u00a0<\\/p><table style=\\\"height: 235px;\\\" border=\\\"1\\\" width=\\\"18\\\" cellpadding=\\\"1\\\"><caption>\\u00a0<\\/caption><tbody><tr><td style=\\\"width: 67px;\\\" colspan=\\\"3\\\"><strong>Ongoing MSC Projects<\\/strong><\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td style=\\\"width: 18.1667px;\\\">S.N<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">Investigator<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">Link<\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td style=\\\"width: 18.1667px;\\\">1<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">Kedir Teji<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">Download PDF Documen<\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td style=\\\"width: 18.1667px;\\\" colspan=\\\"3\\\"><strong>Completed MSC Projects<\\/strong><\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td style=\\\"width: 18.1667px;\\\">----<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">________<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">________________<\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td style=\\\"width: 18.1667px;\\\" colspan=\\\"3\\\">\\u00a0<strong>Ongoing PhD Projects\\u00a0<\\/strong><\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td style=\\\"width: 18.1667px;\\\">1<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">Frehiwot Mesfine<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">Download PDF Document<\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td style=\\\"width: 18.1667px;\\\" colspan=\\\"3\\\">\\u00a0\\u00a0 <strong>Completed PhD Projects\\u00a0<\\/strong><\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td style=\\\"width: 18.1667px;\\\">1<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">Nega Assefa<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">Download PDF Documen<\\/td><\\/tr><\\/tbody><\\/table><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><strong>KDS-HRC National Projects<\\/strong><\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><strong>Title of the Project\\u00a0 <\\/strong><\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">A phase IV multi-site observational epidemiology study to assess potential risk for adverse events following immunization that may be associated with misuse of a twodose vial of 10-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (Synflorix) in Ethiopia.<\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><strong>Short Title<\\/strong><strong>:<\\/strong> The Ethiopian Vaccine Adverse Events Study [EVAES].<\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><strong>Investigators and Institutional Affiliations<\\/strong><strong>\\u00a0 <\\/strong><\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><strong>Status:\\u00a0 \\u00a0\\u00a0\\u00a0\\u00a0 completed\\u00a0 <\\/strong><\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><strong>\\u00a0Investigators<\\/strong><\\/p><ul style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><li>Yemane Berhane (MD, MPH, PhD, Principal)<\\/li><li>Alemayehu Worku (PhD)<\\/li><li>Meaza Demissie (MD, MPH, PhD)<\\/li><li>Neghist Tesfaye (MD, MsC IH)<\\/li><\\/ul><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><strong>Co-Investigators<\\/strong><\\/p><table class=\\\"box-table\\\"><tbody><tr><td width=\\\"283\\\">Prof. Yigzaw Kebede (Site Principal)<p>Takele Tadesse<\\/p><\\/td><td width=\\\"410\\\">Dabat Health and Demographic Surveillance Site, College of<p>Health Sciences, University of Gondar<\\/p><\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td width=\\\"283\\\">Nega Asefa (Site Principal)<p>Lemessa Olijira<\\/p><\\/td><td width=\\\"410\\\">Kersa Health and Demographic Surveillance Site, College of<p>Health Sciences, Haramaya University<\\/p><\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td width=\\\"283\\\">Bereket Tefera<p>Anteneh Tessema<\\/p><p>Grima Temam<\\/p><\\/td><td width=\\\"410\\\">Arbaminch HDSS,<p>Department of Public Health,<\\/p><p>Arba Minch University<\\/p><\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td width=\\\"283\\\">Berhe Weldaregawi\\u00a0 (Site Principal)<p>Yemane Ashebir<\\/p><\\/td><td width=\\\"410\\\">Kelte Awlalo HDSS, Department of Public Health, Mekelle<p>University<\\/p><\\/td><\\/tr><\\/tbody><\\/table><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">\\u00a0<strong>Abstract<\\/strong><strong>\\u00a0\\u00a0<\\/strong><\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">The Government of Ethiopia is about to introduce a new 10-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV10) for infants in Ethiopia. The vaccine is highly efficacious against diseases caused by <em>Streptococcus pneumoniae<\\/em>. The selected vaccine, Synflorix\\u2122, is presented as a 2-dose vial without preservative. The two-dose vial will have significant advantages in limiting new cold-chain requirements. Multi-dose vaccines used in resource-limited settings have traditionally contained a preservative to minimize risk of microbial contamination. This allows one vial of the vaccine to be used for up to 28 days after the vial is opened provided stringent safety criteria, outlined in the multidose vial policy, are met. Given general public concerns about the use of preservatives, two-dose presentations of some new vaccines have been developed as preservative-free vials. Such vials should be discarded if not used within 6 hours of opening.<\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">In Ethiopia, although specific training will be conducted to familiarize immunization staff with the necessary procedures of how to use Synflorix as a two-dose preservative-free vaccine, there remains a risk that in routine clinical settings, improper immunization practice (i.e. not discarding vials within 6 hours of opening) could result in microbial contamination, non-sterile injections, and adverse events following immunization (AEFI) such as injection -site abscesses, shock or death.<\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">The Ethiopian society is well organized in geographic units and provides a suitable platform for conducting population based evaluation of potential AEFIs. In addition, Health and demographic surveillance systems (HDSS) routinely collect records of births, deaths, and other health related events that provide a feasible venue for a longitudinal, population-based evaluation of potential AEFIs as they can provide retrospective mortality<\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">information. Clinic- and household-based surveillance can identify and analyze suspected injection-site abscesses, the primary endpoint. In addition, secondary endpoints of shock and all-cause mortality can be investigated through hospital-based and demographic surveillance, respectively. Because surveillance is already established, data can be collated after introduction of Synflorix \\u2122 to compare with existing data in the admission registers from the prevaccine era. Although the HDSS sites can provide adequate sample size for the mortality component of the study they cannot provide the necessary sample size for monitoring abscess formation; thus all kebeles in the selected woredas will be included in the study to obtain the required sample size for the latter study objective.\\u00a0 Pharmacovigilance is important for evaluating new vaccines globally, and extended health and demographic surveillance systems in the selected woredas provide an important opportunity to evaluate the safety of current and new EPI vaccines.<\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">Assuming that this study shows no evidence of significant adverse event outcomes, these rigorous safety assessments following Synflorix \\u2122 introduction will add confidence in the use of a formulation that could enhance the<\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><em>\\u00a0<a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/zzz\\\" data-wplink-url-error=\\\"true\\\">Download Full Document Here<\\/a><\\/em><\\/p>\",\"_id\":\"ac3k5ut\"},{\"tab_title\":\"Data Sharing\",\"tab_content\":\"<table style=\\\"height: 1645px;\\\" width=\\\"211\\\"><tbody><tr><td style=\\\"width: 24.5667px;\\\">S.N<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 96.0333px;

It is part of east Hararghe. It is bordered on the south by Bedeno district, on the west by Meta district, on the north by Dire Dawa administrative council, on the northeast by Haramaya woreda, and on the southeast by Kurfa Chele district. The woreda capital is Kersa, which is 44 km from Harar west wards.<\\/p><p><strong>Topography:<\\/strong><\\/p><p>The district ranges from 1400 to 3200 meters above sea level. According to a survey of the land in Kersa 28.5% is arable or cultivable, 2.3% pasture, 6.2% forest, and the remaining 56.3% is considered built-up degraded or otherwise unusable. Chat, fruits and vegetables are important cash crops. Coffee is also an important cash crop, covering 5,000 hectares.<\\/p><p>In the woreda, there are 35 rural Kebeles and 3 small towns. According to the information obtained from the woreda administration, out of the 38 Kebeles, 2 are lowland, 22 are temperate, 7 are a mix of lowland and temperate and the remaining 7 are highland, containing 2.8 %, 60.2, %, 17 % and 20 % of the district population, respectively. All the Kebeles have road access.<\\/p><p><strong>Population: <\\/strong><\\/p><p>According to the 2007 census, the district has a total population of 172,626; out of which, 6.87 are urban dwellers. With an estimated area of 463.75 square kilometers, Kersa has an estimated population density of 372.24 people per square kilometer. The district has six health centers, 28 health posts and eight private pharmacies. The health service coverage of the woreda is 80 %.<\\/p><p><strong>The Need for Demographic and Health Surveillance:\\u00a0 <\\/strong><\\/p><p><strong>\\u00a0<\\/strong>Demographic and Health Surveillance is the continuous tracking of demographic and health data from a particular place for a continuous period of time. Such a program gives valid and reliable health information to health planners and facilitates evidence-based action unlike the traditional health system oriented generation of data.<\\/p><p>\\u00a0Traditional sources of health information collected from health facilities such as health centers and hospitals often serve as the basis for health-services planning and allocation of resources in Ethiopia. Yet, healthfacility-based data often provide fragmentary and biased information. Not all population groups have geographic or socio-economic access to health facilities. Those who do have such access are usually selfselected and are often those who visit health-care facilities when they suffer from a serious illness.<\\/p><p>Great majorities of poor people have less access to health-care facilities than those who are better off, and they often treat themselves or use traditional health care remedies. Women may suffer from gender disparities as well, with time and cultural constraints on the use of health-care facilities, particularly in rural settings. Services for children are also severely constrained. Thus, health-facility-based data are not representative of the health problems of all rural and urban communities and do not therefore reflect the health status of the population.<\\/p><p>\\u00a0This void of valid health information for a large segment of the Ethiopia\\u2019s population makes it difficult for policymakers to depend on valid information on the health situation of these people. The need to establish a reliable information base to support health development has never been given due attention.<\\/p><p>\\u00a0Ideally, reliable health information should be community based, inclusive of all groups, and collected prospectively and continuously. Such an ideal is best met through demographic and health surveillance systems collecting demographic, environment and health data on selected population samples. Such a continuous generation of data is indispensable in providing the necessary health services and advancing health science research and promoting quality education. Moreover, it plays a significant role in health planning strengthening staff research capacity and institutional development.<\\/p><p><strong>What we do in the field? <\\/strong><strong>\\u00a0<\\/strong><\\/p><p>At the KDS-HRC field site, we do a continuous tracking of vital events and health information. Demographic events that changes population characteristics such as births, deaths, immigration and outmigration are of particular interest.<\\/p><p>While deaths and out-migration reduces population size, immigration and birth increases population size, this dynamism is called open cohort.<\\/p><p>Other events like marital status change, immunization, morbidity and birth outcomes are also under follow-up. For deceased we fill verbal autopsy to identify the cause of death.<\\/p><p><a class=\\\"fancybox\\\" href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.haramaya.edu.et\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2014\\/06\\/Picture1.png\\\" rel=\\\"single-image\\\"><img class=\\\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6998\\\" src=\\\"http:\\/\\/gib.haramaya.edu\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2014\\/06\\/Picture1-300x222.png\\\" alt=\\\"Picture1\\\" width=\\\"300\\\" height=\\\"222\\\" \\/><\\/a><\\/p>\",\"_id\":\"krs0e35\"},{\"tab_title\":\"Project\",\"tab_content\":\"<p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">\\u00a0<\\/p><table style=\\\"height: 235px;\\\" border=\\\"1\\\" width=\\\"18\\\" cellpadding=\\\"1\\\"><caption>\\u00a0<\\/caption><tbody><tr><td style=\\\"width: 67px;\\\" colspan=\\\"3\\\"><strong>Ongoing MSC Projects<\\/strong><\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td style=\\\"width: 18.1667px;\\\">S.N<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">Investigator<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">Link<\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td style=\\\"width: 18.1667px;\\\">1<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">Kedir Teji<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">Download PDF Documen<\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td style=\\\"width: 18.1667px;\\\" colspan=\\\"3\\\"><strong>Completed MSC Projects<\\/strong><\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td style=\\\"width: 18.1667px;\\\">----<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">________<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">________________<\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td style=\\\"width: 18.1667px;\\\" colspan=\\\"3\\\">\\u00a0<strong>Ongoing PhD Projects\\u00a0<\\/strong><\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td style=\\\"width: 18.1667px;\\\">1<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">Frehiwot Mesfine<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">Download PDF Document<\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td style=\\\"width: 18.1667px;\\\" colspan=\\\"3\\\">\\u00a0\\u00a0 <strong>Completed PhD Projects\\u00a0<\\/strong><\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td style=\\\"width: 18.1667px;\\\">1<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">Nega Assefa<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">Download PDF Documen<\\/td><\\/tr><\\/tbody><\\/table><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><strong>KDS-HRC National Projects<\\/strong><\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><strong>Title of the Project\\u00a0 <\\/strong><\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">A phase IV multi-site observational epidemiology study to assess potential risk for adverse events following immunization that may be associated with misuse of a twodose vial of 10-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (Synflorix) in Ethiopia.<\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><strong>Short Title<\\/strong><strong>:<\\/strong> The Ethiopian Vaccine Adverse Events Study [EVAES].<\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><strong>Investigators and Institutional Affiliations<\\/strong><strong>\\u00a0 <\\/strong><\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><strong>Status:\\u00a0 \\u00a0\\u00a0\\u00a0\\u00a0 completed\\u00a0 <\\/strong><\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><strong>\\u00a0Investigators<\\/strong><\\/p><ul style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><li>Yemane Berhane (MD, MPH, PhD, Principal)<\\/li><li>Alemayehu Worku (PhD)<\\/li><li>Meaza Demissie (MD, MPH, PhD)<\\/li><li>Neghist Tesfaye (MD, MsC IH)<\\/li><\\/ul><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><strong>Co-Investigators<\\/strong><\\/p><table class=\\\"box-table\\\"><tbody><tr><td width=\\\"283\\\">Prof. Yigzaw Kebede (Site Principal)<p>Takele Tadesse<\\/p><\\/td><td width=\\\"410\\\">Dabat Health and Demographic Surveillance Site, College of<p>Health Sciences, University of Gondar<\\/p><\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td width=\\\"283\\\">Nega Asefa (Site Principal)<p>Lemessa Olijira<\\/p><\\/td><td width=\\\"410\\\">Kersa Health and Demographic Surveillance Site, College of<p>Health Sciences, Haramaya University<\\/p><\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td width=\\\"283\\\">Bereket Tefera<p>Anteneh Tessema<\\/p><p>Grima Temam<\\/p><\\/td><td width=\\\"410\\\">Arbaminch HDSS,<p>Department of Public Health,<\\/p><p>Arba Minch University<\\/p><\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td width=\\\"283\\\">Berhe Weldaregawi\\u00a0 (Site Principal)<p>Yemane Ashebir<\\/p><\\/td><td width=\\\"410\\\">Kelte Awlalo HDSS, Department of Public Health, Mekelle<p>University<\\/p><\\/td><\\/tr><\\/tbody><\\/table><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">\\u00a0<strong>Abstract<\\/strong><strong>\\u00a0\\u00a0<\\/strong><\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">The Government of Ethiopia is about to introduce a new 10-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV10) for infants in Ethiopia. The vaccine is highly efficacious against diseases caused by <em>Streptococcus pneumoniae<\\/em>. The selected vaccine, Synflorix\\u2122, is presented as a 2-dose vial without preservative. The two-dose vial will have significant advantages in limiting new cold-chain requirements. Multi-dose vaccines used in resource-limited settings have traditionally contained a preservative to minimize risk of microbial contamination. This allows one vial of the vaccine to be used for up to 28 days after the vial is opened provided stringent safety criteria, outlined in the multidose vial policy, are met. Given general public concerns about the use of preservatives, two-dose presentations of some new vaccines have been developed as preservative-free vials. Such vials should be discarded if not used within 6 hours of opening.<\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">In Ethiopia, although specific training will be conducted to familiarize immunization staff with the necessary procedures of how to use Synflorix as a two-dose preservative-free vaccine, there remains a risk that in routine clinical settings, improper immunization practice (i.e. not discarding vials within 6 hours of opening) could result in microbial contamination, non-sterile injections, and adverse events following immunization (AEFI) such as injection -site abscesses, shock or death.<\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">The Ethiopian society is well organized in geographic units and provides a suitable platform for conducting population based evaluation of potential AEFIs. In addition, Health and demographic surveillance systems (HDSS) routinely collect records of births, deaths, and other health related events that provide a feasible venue for a longitudinal, population-based evaluation of potential AEFIs as they can provide retrospective mortality<\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">information. Clinic- and household-based surveillance can identify and analyze suspected injection-site abscesses, the primary endpoint. In addition, secondary endpoints of shock and all-cause mortality can be investigated through hospital-based and demographic surveillance, respectively. Because surveillance is already established, data can be collated after introduction of Synflorix \\u2122 to compare with existing data in the admission registers from the prevaccine era. Although the HDSS sites can provide adequate sample size for the mortality component of the study they cannot provide the necessary sample size for monitoring abscess formation; thus all kebeles in the selected woredas will be included in the study to obtain the required sample size for the latter study objective.\\u00a0 Pharmacovigilance is important for evaluating new vaccines globally, and extended health and demographic surveillance systems in the selected woredas provide an important opportunity to evaluate the safety of current and new EPI vaccines.<\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">Assuming that this study shows no evidence of significant adverse event outcomes, these rigorous safety assessments following Synflorix \\u2122 introduction will add confidence in the use of a formulation that could enhance the<\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><em>\\u00a0<a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/zzz\\\" data-wplink-url-error=\\\"true\\\">Download Full Document Here<\\/a><\\/em><\\/p>\",\"_id\":\"ac3k5ut\"},{\"tab_title\":\"Data Sharing\",\"tab_content\":\"<table style=\\\"height: 1645px;\\\" width=\\\"211\\\"><tbody><tr><td style=\\\"width: 24.5667px;\\\">S.N<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 96.0333px;

It is part of east Hararghe. It is bordered on the south by Bedeno district, on the west by Meta district, on the north by Dire Dawa administrative council, on the northeast by Haramaya woreda, and on the southeast by Kurfa Chele district. The woreda capital is Kersa, which is 44 km from Harar west wards.<\\/p><p><strong>Topography:<\\/strong><\\/p><p>The district ranges from 1400 to 3200 meters above sea level. According to a survey of the land in Kersa 28.5% is arable or cultivable, 2.3% pasture, 6.2% forest, and the remaining 56.3% is considered built-up degraded or otherwise unusable. Chat, fruits and vegetables are important cash crops. Coffee is also an important cash crop, covering 5,000 hectares.<\\/p><p>In the woreda, there are 35 rural Kebeles and 3 small towns. According to the information obtained from the woreda administration, out of the 38 Kebeles, 2 are lowland, 22 are temperate, 7 are a mix of lowland and temperate and the remaining 7 are highland, containing 2.8 %, 60.2, %, 17 % and 20 % of the district population, respectively. All the Kebeles have road access.<\\/p><p><strong>Population: <\\/strong><\\/p><p>According to the 2007 census, the district has a total population of 172,626; out of which, 6.87 are urban dwellers. With an estimated area of 463.75 square kilometers, Kersa has an estimated population density of 372.24 people per square kilometer. The district has six health centers, 28 health posts and eight private pharmacies. The health service coverage of the woreda is 80 %.<\\/p><p><strong>The Need for Demographic and Health Surveillance:\\u00a0 <\\/strong><\\/p><p><strong>\\u00a0<\\/strong>Demographic and Health Surveillance is the continuous tracking of demographic and health data from a particular place for a continuous period of time. Such a program gives valid and reliable health information to health planners and facilitates evidence-based action unlike the traditional health system oriented generation of data.<\\/p><p>\\u00a0Traditional sources of health information collected from health facilities such as health centers and hospitals often serve as the basis for health-services planning and allocation of resources in Ethiopia. Yet, healthfacility-based data often provide fragmentary and biased information. Not all population groups have geographic or socio-economic access to health facilities. Those who do have such access are usually selfselected and are often those who visit health-care facilities when they suffer from a serious illness.<\\/p><p>Great majorities of poor people have less access to health-care facilities than those who are better off, and they often treat themselves or use traditional health care remedies. Women may suffer from gender disparities as well, with time and cultural constraints on the use of health-care facilities, particularly in rural settings. Services for children are also severely constrained. Thus, health-facility-based data are not representative of the health problems of all rural and urban communities and do not therefore reflect the health status of the population.<\\/p><p>\\u00a0This void of valid health information for a large segment of the Ethiopia\\u2019s population makes it difficult for policymakers to depend on valid information on the health situation of these people. The need to establish a reliable information base to support health development has never been given due attention.<\\/p><p>\\u00a0Ideally, reliable health information should be community based, inclusive of all groups, and collected prospectively and continuously. Such an ideal is best met through demographic and health surveillance systems collecting demographic, environment and health data on selected population samples. Such a continuous generation of data is indispensable in providing the necessary health services and advancing health science research and promoting quality education. Moreover, it plays a significant role in health planning strengthening staff research capacity and institutional development.<\\/p><p><strong>What we do in the field? <\\/strong><strong>\\u00a0<\\/strong><\\/p><p>At the KDS-HRC field site, we do a continuous tracking of vital events and health information. Demographic events that changes population characteristics such as births, deaths, immigration and outmigration are of particular interest.<\\/p><p>While deaths and out-migration reduces population size, immigration and birth increases population size, this dynamism is called open cohort.<\\/p><p>Other events like marital status change, immunization, morbidity and birth outcomes are also under follow-up. For deceased we fill verbal autopsy to identify the cause of death.<\\/p><p><a class=\\\"fancybox\\\" href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.haramaya.edu.et\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2014\\/06\\/Picture1.png\\\" rel=\\\"single-image\\\"><img class=\\\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6998\\\" src=\\\"http:\\/\\/gib.haramaya.edu\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2014\\/06\\/Picture1-300x222.png\\\" alt=\\\"Picture1\\\" width=\\\"300\\\" height=\\\"222\\\" \\/><\\/a><\\/p>\",\"_id\":\"krs0e35\"},{\"tab_title\":\"Project\",\"tab_content\":\"<p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">\\u00a0<\\/p><table style=\\\"height: 235px;\\\" border=\\\"1\\\" width=\\\"18\\\" cellpadding=\\\"1\\\"><caption>\\u00a0<\\/caption><tbody><tr><td style=\\\"width: 67px;\\\" colspan=\\\"3\\\"><strong>Ongoing MSC Projects<\\/strong><\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td style=\\\"width: 18.1667px;\\\">S.N<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">Investigator<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">Link<\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td style=\\\"width: 18.1667px;\\\">1<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">Kedir Teji<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">Download PDF Documen<\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td style=\\\"width: 18.1667px;\\\" colspan=\\\"3\\\"><strong>Completed MSC Projects<\\/strong><\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td style=\\\"width: 18.1667px;\\\">----<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">________<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">________________<\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td style=\\\"width: 18.1667px;\\\" colspan=\\\"3\\\">\\u00a0<strong>Ongoing PhD Projects\\u00a0<\\/strong><\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td style=\\\"width: 18.1667px;\\\">1<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">Frehiwot Mesfine<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">Download PDF Document<\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td style=\\\"width: 18.1667px;\\\" colspan=\\\"3\\\">\\u00a0\\u00a0 <strong>Completed PhD Projects\\u00a0<\\/strong><\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td style=\\\"width: 18.1667px;\\\">1<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">Nega Assefa<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">Download PDF Documen<\\/td><\\/tr><\\/tbody><\\/table><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><strong>KDS-HRC National Projects<\\/strong><\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><strong>Title of the Project\\u00a0 <\\/strong><\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">A phase IV multi-site observational epidemiology study to assess potential risk for adverse events following immunization that may be associated with misuse of a twodose vial of 10-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (Synflorix) in Ethiopia.<\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><strong>Short Title<\\/strong><strong>:<\\/strong> The Ethiopian Vaccine Adverse Events Study [EVAES].<\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><strong>Investigators and Institutional Affiliations<\\/strong><strong>\\u00a0 <\\/strong><\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><strong>Status:\\u00a0 \\u00a0\\u00a0\\u00a0\\u00a0 completed\\u00a0 <\\/strong><\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><strong>\\u00a0Investigators<\\/strong><\\/p><ul style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><li>Yemane Berhane (MD, MPH, PhD, Principal)<\\/li><li>Alemayehu Worku (PhD)<\\/li><li>Meaza Demissie (MD, MPH, PhD)<\\/li><li>Neghist Tesfaye (MD, MsC IH)<\\/li><\\/ul><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><strong>Co-Investigators<\\/strong><\\/p><table class=\\\"box-table\\\"><tbody><tr><td width=\\\"283\\\">Prof. Yigzaw Kebede (Site Principal)<p>Takele Tadesse<\\/p><\\/td><td width=\\\"410\\\">Dabat Health and Demographic Surveillance Site, College of<p>Health Sciences, University of Gondar<\\/p><\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td width=\\\"283\\\">Nega Asefa (Site Principal)<p>Lemessa Olijira<\\/p><\\/td><td width=\\\"410\\\">Kersa Health and Demographic Surveillance Site, College of<p>Health Sciences, Haramaya University<\\/p><\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td width=\\\"283\\\">Bereket Tefera<p>Anteneh Tessema<\\/p><p>Grima Temam<\\/p><\\/td><td width=\\\"410\\\">Arbaminch HDSS,<p>Department of Public Health,<\\/p><p>Arba Minch University<\\/p><\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td width=\\\"283\\\">Berhe Weldaregawi\\u00a0 (Site Principal)<p>Yemane Ashebir<\\/p><\\/td><td width=\\\"410\\\">Kelte Awlalo HDSS, Department of Public Health, Mekelle<p>University<\\/p><\\/td><\\/tr><\\/tbody><\\/table><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">\\u00a0<strong>Abstract<\\/strong><strong>\\u00a0\\u00a0<\\/strong><\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">The Government of Ethiopia is about to introduce a new 10-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV10) for infants in Ethiopia. The vaccine is highly efficacious against diseases caused by <em>Streptococcus pneumoniae<\\/em>. The selected vaccine, Synflorix\\u2122, is presented as a 2-dose vial without preservative. The two-dose vial will have significant advantages in limiting new cold-chain requirements. Multi-dose vaccines used in resource-limited settings have traditionally contained a preservative to minimize risk of microbial contamination. This allows one vial of the vaccine to be used for up to 28 days after the vial is opened provided stringent safety criteria, outlined in the multidose vial policy, are met. Given general public concerns about the use of preservatives, two-dose presentations of some new vaccines have been developed as preservative-free vials. Such vials should be discarded if not used within 6 hours of opening.<\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">In Ethiopia, although specific training will be conducted to familiarize immunization staff with the necessary procedures of how to use Synflorix as a two-dose preservative-free vaccine, there remains a risk that in routine clinical settings, improper immunization practice (i.e. not discarding vials within 6 hours of opening) could result in microbial contamination, non-sterile injections, and adverse events following immunization (AEFI) such as injection -site abscesses, shock or death.<\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">The Ethiopian society is well organized in geographic units and provides a suitable platform for conducting population based evaluation of potential AEFIs. In addition, Health and demographic surveillance systems (HDSS) routinely collect records of births, deaths, and other health related events that provide a feasible venue for a longitudinal, population-based evaluation of potential AEFIs as they can provide retrospective mortality<\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">information. Clinic- and household-based surveillance can identify and analyze suspected injection-site abscesses, the primary endpoint. In addition, secondary endpoints of shock and all-cause mortality can be investigated through hospital-based and demographic surveillance, respectively. Because surveillance is already established, data can be collated after introduction of Synflorix \\u2122 to compare with existing data in the admission registers from the prevaccine era. Although the HDSS sites can provide adequate sample size for the mortality component of the study they cannot provide the necessary sample size for monitoring abscess formation; thus all kebeles in the selected woredas will be included in the study to obtain the required sample size for the latter study objective.\\u00a0 Pharmacovigilance is important for evaluating new vaccines globally, and extended health and demographic surveillance systems in the selected woredas provide an important opportunity to evaluate the safety of current and new EPI vaccines.<\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">Assuming that this study shows no evidence of significant adverse event outcomes, these rigorous safety assessments following Synflorix \\u2122 introduction will add confidence in the use of a formulation that could enhance the<\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><em>\\u00a0<a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/zzz\\\" data-wplink-url-error=\\\"true\\\">Download Full Document Here<\\/a><\\/em><\\/p>\",\"_id\":\"ac3k5ut\"},{\"tab_title\":\"Data Sharing\",\"tab_content\":\"<table style=\\\"height: 1645px;\\\" width=\\\"211\\\"><tbody><tr><td style=\\\"width: 24.5667px;\\\">S.N<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 96.0333px;

It is part of east Hararghe. It is bordered on the south by Bedeno district, on the west by Meta district, on the north by Dire Dawa administrative council, on the northeast by Haramaya woreda, and on the southeast by Kurfa Chele district. The woreda capital is Kersa, which is 44 km from Harar west wards.<\\/p><p><strong>Topography:<\\/strong><\\/p><p>The district ranges from 1400 to 3200 meters above sea level. According to a survey of the land in Kersa 28.5% is arable or cultivable, 2.3% pasture, 6.2% forest, and the remaining 56.3% is considered built-up degraded or otherwise unusable. Chat, fruits and vegetables are important cash crops. Coffee is also an important cash crop, covering 5,000 hectares.<\\/p><p>In the woreda, there are 35 rural Kebeles and 3 small towns. According to the information obtained from the woreda administration, out of the 38 Kebeles, 2 are lowland, 22 are temperate, 7 are a mix of lowland and temperate and the remaining 7 are highland, containing 2.8 %, 60.2, %, 17 % and 20 % of the district population, respectively. All the Kebeles have road access.<\\/p><p><strong>Population: <\\/strong><\\/p><p>According to the 2007 census, the district has a total population of 172,626; out of which, 6.87 are urban dwellers. With an estimated area of 463.75 square kilometers, Kersa has an estimated population density of 372.24 people per square kilometer. The district has six health centers, 28 health posts and eight private pharmacies. The health service coverage of the woreda is 80 %.<\\/p><p><strong>The Need for Demographic and Health Surveillance:\\u00a0 <\\/strong><\\/p><p><strong>\\u00a0<\\/strong>Demographic and Health Surveillance is the continuous tracking of demographic and health data from a particular place for a continuous period of time. Such a program gives valid and reliable health information to health planners and facilitates evidence-based action unlike the traditional health system oriented generation of data.<\\/p><p>\\u00a0Traditional sources of health information collected from health facilities such as health centers and hospitals often serve as the basis for health-services planning and allocation of resources in Ethiopia. Yet, healthfacility-based data often provide fragmentary and biased information. Not all population groups have geographic or socio-economic access to health facilities. Those who do have such access are usually selfselected and are often those who visit health-care facilities when they suffer from a serious illness.<\\/p><p>Great majorities of poor people have less access to health-care facilities than those who are better off, and they often treat themselves or use traditional health care remedies. Women may suffer from gender disparities as well, with time and cultural constraints on the use of health-care facilities, particularly in rural settings. Services for children are also severely constrained. Thus, health-facility-based data are not representative of the health problems of all rural and urban communities and do not therefore reflect the health status of the population.<\\/p><p>\\u00a0This void of valid health information for a large segment of the Ethiopia\\u2019s population makes it difficult for policymakers to depend on valid information on the health situation of these people. The need to establish a reliable information base to support health development has never been given due attention.<\\/p><p>\\u00a0Ideally, reliable health information should be community based, inclusive of all groups, and collected prospectively and continuously. Such an ideal is best met through demographic and health surveillance systems collecting demographic, environment and health data on selected population samples. Such a continuous generation of data is indispensable in providing the necessary health services and advancing health science research and promoting quality education. Moreover, it plays a significant role in health planning strengthening staff research capacity and institutional development.<\\/p><p><strong>What we do in the field? <\\/strong><strong>\\u00a0<\\/strong><\\/p><p>At the KDS-HRC field site, we do a continuous tracking of vital events and health information. Demographic events that changes population characteristics such as births, deaths, immigration and outmigration are of particular interest.<\\/p><p>While deaths and out-migration reduces population size, immigration and birth increases population size, this dynamism is called open cohort.<\\/p><p>Other events like marital status change, immunization, morbidity and birth outcomes are also under follow-up. For deceased we fill verbal autopsy to identify the cause of death.<\\/p><p><a class=\\\"fancybox\\\" href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.haramaya.edu.et\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2014\\/06\\/Picture1.png\\\" rel=\\\"single-image\\\"><img class=\\\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6998\\\" src=\\\"http:\\/\\/gib.haramaya.edu\\/wp-content\\/uploads\\/2014\\/06\\/Picture1-300x222.png\\\" alt=\\\"Picture1\\\" width=\\\"300\\\" height=\\\"222\\\" \\/><\\/a><\\/p>\",\"_id\":\"krs0e35\"},{\"tab_title\":\"Project\",\"tab_content\":\"<p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">\\u00a0<\\/p><table style=\\\"height: 235px;\\\" border=\\\"1\\\" width=\\\"18\\\" cellpadding=\\\"1\\\"><caption>\\u00a0<\\/caption><tbody><tr><td style=\\\"width: 67px;\\\" colspan=\\\"3\\\"><strong>Ongoing MSC Projects<\\/strong><\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td style=\\\"width: 18.1667px;\\\">S.N<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">Investigator<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">Link<\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td style=\\\"width: 18.1667px;\\\">1<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">Kedir Teji<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">Download PDF Documen<\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td style=\\\"width: 18.1667px;\\\" colspan=\\\"3\\\"><strong>Completed MSC Projects<\\/strong><\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td style=\\\"width: 18.1667px;\\\">----<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">________<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">________________<\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td style=\\\"width: 18.1667px;\\\" colspan=\\\"3\\\">\\u00a0<strong>Ongoing PhD Projects\\u00a0<\\/strong><\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td style=\\\"width: 18.1667px;\\\">1<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">Frehiwot Mesfine<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">Download PDF Document<\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td style=\\\"width: 18.1667px;\\\" colspan=\\\"3\\\">\\u00a0\\u00a0 <strong>Completed PhD Projects\\u00a0<\\/strong><\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td style=\\\"width: 18.1667px;\\\">1<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">Nega Assefa<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 18.1833px;\\\">Download PDF Documen<\\/td><\\/tr><\\/tbody><\\/table><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><strong>KDS-HRC National Projects<\\/strong><\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><strong>Title of the Project\\u00a0 <\\/strong><\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">A phase IV multi-site observational epidemiology study to assess potential risk for adverse events following immunization that may be associated with misuse of a twodose vial of 10-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (Synflorix) in Ethiopia.<\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><strong>Short Title<\\/strong><strong>:<\\/strong> The Ethiopian Vaccine Adverse Events Study [EVAES].<\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><strong>Investigators and Institutional Affiliations<\\/strong><strong>\\u00a0 <\\/strong><\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><strong>Status:\\u00a0 \\u00a0\\u00a0\\u00a0\\u00a0 completed\\u00a0 <\\/strong><\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><strong>\\u00a0Investigators<\\/strong><\\/p><ul style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><li>Yemane Berhane (MD, MPH, PhD, Principal)<\\/li><li>Alemayehu Worku (PhD)<\\/li><li>Meaza Demissie (MD, MPH, PhD)<\\/li><li>Neghist Tesfaye (MD, MsC IH)<\\/li><\\/ul><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><strong>Co-Investigators<\\/strong><\\/p><table class=\\\"box-table\\\"><tbody><tr><td width=\\\"283\\\">Prof. Yigzaw Kebede (Site Principal)<p>Takele Tadesse<\\/p><\\/td><td width=\\\"410\\\">Dabat Health and Demographic Surveillance Site, College of<p>Health Sciences, University of Gondar<\\/p><\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td width=\\\"283\\\">Nega Asefa (Site Principal)<p>Lemessa Olijira<\\/p><\\/td><td width=\\\"410\\\">Kersa Health and Demographic Surveillance Site, College of<p>Health Sciences, Haramaya University<\\/p><\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td width=\\\"283\\\">Bereket Tefera<p>Anteneh Tessema<\\/p><p>Grima Temam<\\/p><\\/td><td width=\\\"410\\\">Arbaminch HDSS,<p>Department of Public Health,<\\/p><p>Arba Minch University<\\/p><\\/td><\\/tr><tr><td width=\\\"283\\\">Berhe Weldaregawi\\u00a0 (Site Principal)<p>Yemane Ashebir<\\/p><\\/td><td width=\\\"410\\\">Kelte Awlalo HDSS, Department of Public Health, Mekelle<p>University<\\/p><\\/td><\\/tr><\\/tbody><\\/table><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">\\u00a0<strong>Abstract<\\/strong><strong>\\u00a0\\u00a0<\\/strong><\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">The Government of Ethiopia is about to introduce a new 10-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV10) for infants in Ethiopia. The vaccine is highly efficacious against diseases caused by <em>Streptococcus pneumoniae<\\/em>. The selected vaccine, Synflorix\\u2122, is presented as a 2-dose vial without preservative. The two-dose vial will have significant advantages in limiting new cold-chain requirements. Multi-dose vaccines used in resource-limited settings have traditionally contained a preservative to minimize risk of microbial contamination. This allows one vial of the vaccine to be used for up to 28 days after the vial is opened provided stringent safety criteria, outlined in the multidose vial policy, are met. Given general public concerns about the use of preservatives, two-dose presentations of some new vaccines have been developed as preservative-free vials. Such vials should be discarded if not used within 6 hours of opening.<\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">In Ethiopia, although specific training will be conducted to familiarize immunization staff with the necessary procedures of how to use Synflorix as a two-dose preservative-free vaccine, there remains a risk that in routine clinical settings, improper immunization practice (i.e. not discarding vials within 6 hours of opening) could result in microbial contamination, non-sterile injections, and adverse events following immunization (AEFI) such as injection -site abscesses, shock or death.<\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">The Ethiopian society is well organized in geographic units and provides a suitable platform for conducting population based evaluation of potential AEFIs. In addition, Health and demographic surveillance systems (HDSS) routinely collect records of births, deaths, and other health related events that provide a feasible venue for a longitudinal, population-based evaluation of potential AEFIs as they can provide retrospective mortality<\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">information. Clinic- and household-based surveillance can identify and analyze suspected injection-site abscesses, the primary endpoint. In addition, secondary endpoints of shock and all-cause mortality can be investigated through hospital-based and demographic surveillance, respectively. Because surveillance is already established, data can be collated after introduction of Synflorix \\u2122 to compare with existing data in the admission registers from the prevaccine era. Although the HDSS sites can provide adequate sample size for the mortality component of the study they cannot provide the necessary sample size for monitoring abscess formation; thus all kebeles in the selected woredas will be included in the study to obtain the required sample size for the latter study objective.\\u00a0 Pharmacovigilance is important for evaluating new vaccines globally, and extended health and demographic surveillance systems in the selected woredas provide an important opportunity to evaluate the safety of current and new EPI vaccines.<\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\">Assuming that this study shows no evidence of significant adverse event outcomes, these rigorous safety assessments following Synflorix \\u2122 introduction will add confidence in the use of a formulation that could enhance the<\\/p><p style=\\\"text-align: justify;\\\"><em>\\u00a0<a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/zzz\\\" data-wplink-url-error=\\\"true\\\">Download Full Document Here<\\/a><\\/em><\\/p>\",\"_id\":\"ac3k5ut\"},{\"tab_title\":\"Data Sharing\",\"tab_content\":\"<table style=\\\"height: 1645px;\\\" width=\\\"211\\\"><tbody><tr><td style=\\\"width: 24.5667px;\\\">S.N<\\/td><td style=\\\"width: 96.0333px;
