ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical characteristics and epidemiological history of an imported case of tsutsugamushi disease, and to identify the diagnosis and key points of prevention and control. MethodsThe clinical symptoms, diagnosis and treatment process, and epidemiological data were retrospectively analyzed for a case of tsutsugamushi disease in Changning District. A risk assessment was conducted concurrently. ResultsThe patient had a history of traveling to or living in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, and presented with symptoms such as recurrent high fever, scabbing and peanut-sized lymph node swelling behind the ear, and red rashes on the face and trunk. The patient tested positive for nucleic acid from Orientia tsutsugamushi and was cured after receiving comprehensive treatment. The patient resides in Shanghai, where the likelihood of hosts and vectors being present in winter is low, hence the risk of epidemic transmission was deemed low. ConclusionThe clinical manifestations of tsutsugamushi disease are not typical in the early stages of the disease. Attention should be paid to epidemiological history and specific symptoms of tsutsugamushi disease, and to strengthen health education and promotion efforts for key populations.

ObjectiveTo assess the coverage and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines in the elderly. MethodsThis study was conducted in Changning District of Shanghai， targeting people aged 60 years and above. Vaccination data between 21 December 2020 and 28 February 2022 was retrieved from the Shanghai Collective Immunization System. Information on confirmed cases of COVID-19 from March 2022 through May 2022 was collected from the National Notifiable Diseases Reporting System. Vaccine effectiveness was calculated using the screening method. ResultsAs of 28 February 2022， 69.89% of people aged ≥60 years had received ≥1-dose vaccine， 63.80% had received full primary vaccination and 31.91% had received a booster dose. Vaccination coverage declined over age， with the lowest coverage in the elderly aged ≥80 years. Moreover， COVID-19 vaccination provided the highest protection against severe/critical illness and death due to the Omicron variants in the elderly aged ≥60 years. Full primary vaccination showed 96.15%（95%CI：84.15‒99.06）of vaccine effectiveness and booster vaccination showed 100% of the effectiveness against severe/critical COVID-19 and death. ConclusionsFull primary and booster vaccination coverage in the elderly is low， especially in those aged 80 and above. Our study finds high protection against COVID-19 associated severe/critical illness and death from both full primary and booster vaccination of inactivated COVID-19 vaccines in the elderly aged ≥60 years.
