N2 - Background: In addition to vaccines' specific effects, vaccines may have non-specific effects (NSEs) altering the susceptibility to unrelated infections. Non-live vaccines have been associated with negative NSEs. In 2010, a campaign with the non-live H1N1-influenza vaccine targeted children 6-59 months in Guinea-Bissau.Methods: Bandim Health Project runs a health and demographic surveillance system site in Guinea-Bissau. Using a Cox proportional hazards model, we compared all-cause consultation rates after vs. before the campaign, stratified by participation status.Results: Among 10 290 children eligible for the campaign, 60% had participated, 18% had not and for 22% no information was obtained. After the H1N1 campaign, the consultation rates tended to decline more for participants [HR = 0.80 (95% confidence interval, CI: 0.75; 0.85)] than for non-participants [HR = 0.68 (95% CI: 0.58; 0.79)], p = 0.06 for same effect.Conclusion: The decline in the vaccinated group may have been smaller than the decline in the non-vaccinated group consistent with H1N1-vaccine increasing susceptibility to unrelated infections.
