  • Optimizing next-generation RSV prevention in Mali

    Open AccessRachel S Laufer, Ranju Baral et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause of early childhood lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Maternal vaccines, birth-dose extended half-life monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), and pediatric vaccines are under development for prevention of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) in young children. We analyzed the health and economic impact of RSV …

  • Estimating the impact of vaccination on reducing Covid-19 burden in the United States

    Open AccessPratha Sah, Thomas N Vilches et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2022

    Since the start of COVID-19 vaccination in the United States (US), over 560 million doses of authorized vaccines were administered, and 69.7% of the eligible population were fully vaccinated as of March 31, 2022 [1].

  • Impact of international travel and border control measures on the global spread of the novel 2019 coronavirus outbreak

    Open AccessChad R Wells, Pratha Sah et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2020

    The novel coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) in mainland China has rapidly spread across the globe. Within 2 mo since the outbreak was first reported on December 31, 2019, a total of 566 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS CoV-2) cases have been confirmed in 26 other countries. Travel restrictions and border control measures have been enforced in China and other countries to limit the spread of the outbreak. We estimate the impact of these contr…

  • Social contacts, vaccination decisions and influenza in Japan

    Open AccessYoko Ibuka, Yasushi Ohkusa et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2016References: 19

    BACKGROUND: Contact patterns and vaccination decisions are fundamental to transmission dynamics of infectious diseases. We report on age-specific contact patterns in Japan and their effect on influenza vaccination behaviour. METHODS: Japanese adults (N=3146) were surveyed in Spring 2011 to assess the number of their social contacts within a 24 h period, defined as face-to-face conversations within 2 m, and gain insight into their influenza-relate…

  • Optimal H1N1 vaccination strategies based on self-interest versus group interest

    Open AccessEunha Shim, Lauren Ancel Meyers et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011

    Our results indicate that for a delayed vaccine distribution, the priorities that are optimal at a population level do not align with those that are optimal according to individual self-interest. Moreover, the discordance between the optimal vaccine distributions based on individual self-interest and those based on population interest is even more pronounced when vaccine availability is delayed. To determine optimal vaccine allocation for pandemi…

  • The dynamics of risk perceptions and precautionary behavior in response to 2009 (H1N1) pandemic influenza

    Open AccessYoko Ibuka, Gretchen B Chapman et al.ARTICLEBMC Infectious Diseases2010

    BACKGROUND: The trajectory of an infectious disease outbreak is affected by the behavior of individuals, and the behavior is often related to individuals' risk perception. We assessed temporal changes and geographical differences in risk perceptions and precautionary behaviors in response to H1N1 influenza. METHODS: 1,290 US adults completed an online survey on risk perceptions, interests in pharmaceutical interventions (preventive intervention a…
