Varicella vaccine seen in children. The incidence of herpes zoster in vaccinated adults is 0.9/1000 person-years, and is 0.33/1000 person-years in vaccinated children; this is lower than the overall incidence of 3.2–4.2/1000 person-years. Adult shingles cases may increase after introduction of varicella vaccine, but evidence is unclear. While research using computer models has tended to support the hypothesis that vaccination programs would increase incidence of zoster in the short term, the evidence from epidemiological studies is mixed, and increases observed in zoster incidence in some studies may not be related to vaccination programs, as the incidence increases prior to the varicella vaccine
Foundation For Technical Education populations by expanding its education model first across the East African region and then beyond. Negotiations are underway in Kenya, Zambia, Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda to work with existing technical education institutions in finding education solutions. The FTE Education Model relies on shared responsibilities based on international expertise but local ownership, entrusting the coordination and management to the local leadership team of the schools.
