This grant opportunity offered by the Health Department aims to study the transmission of influenza viruses within households. By monitoring confirmed influenza cases in households and following their contacts, the project seeks to estimate secondary infection risk and factors influencing infection. Additionally, the effectiveness of influenza vaccines in preventing infection among close contacts will be evaluated. These insights will contribute to enhancing seasonal influenza prevention strategies and strengthening preparedness for potential influenza pandemics. Application deadline: March 1, 2017.

| Description: | Households constitute up to 30% of influenza virus transmission and monitoring influenza in households is important to track how influenza spreads among close contacts and to understand the clinical spectrum of influenza infection and disease. The purpose of this project is to enroll households with confirmed influenza and follow household contacts for up to two weeks to estimate the secondary infection risk and factors associated with risk of infection. This study will also estimate the effectiveness of the influenza vaccine in preventing influenza infection from close contacts. These findings are important to improve prevention and control of seasonal influenza, but also to be better prepared in the event of a future influenza pandemic. |
