Abstract
Aim: An overview of recent epidemiology and disease burden, independent of patient age, of diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, poliomyelitis and Hemophilus influenzae invasive disease in the UK. Materials & methods: A systematic review was undertaken. Outcomes included incidence, prevalence, risk factors and cost burden. Results: 39 publications were included. Hepatitis B prevalence is high among certain risk groups. A small pertussis risk remains in pregnancy and for infants, which led to the introduction of maternal vaccination. H. influenzae invasive disease cases are limited to rare serotypes. Polio, tetanus and diphtheria are well controlled. Conclusion: The evaluated diseases are currently well controlled, thanks to a comprehensive vaccination program, with a generally low clinical and cost burden.
