This project investigates how different populations of cells within the respiratory tract immune system are altered during a viral infection.
This study will investigate the why disease is worse in infants and how early life viral infection impacts the developing immune system.
Current immunization guidelines recommend one dose of influenza vaccine for children aged ≥9 years and two doses for younger or vaccine-naïve children. However, children receiving chemotherapy have an attenuated immune response. We performed a prospective open-label study in children undergoing treatment for cancer at Perth Children's Hospital, Western Australia, to examine the safety and efficacy of a boosted influenza schedule.
To evaluate the reliability of information in GP electronic health records (EHRs) regarding the presence of specific medical conditions and recent influenza vaccination
Estimating the temporal trends in infectious disease activity is crucial for monitoring disease spread and the impact of interventions. Surveillance indicators routinely collected to monitor these trends are often a composite of multiple pathogens. For example, "influenza-like illness"-routinely monitored as a proxy for influenza infections-is a symptom definition that could be caused by a wide range of pathogens, including multiple subtypes of influenza, SARS-CoV-2, and RSV.
At just two years old, Lucy lost her fight against flu. With your generous help, we can finally beat influenza.
Maternal influenza vaccination was associated with a reduction in the incidence of hospital admission for acute respiratory illness among infants <6 months old
Influenza vaccination during pregnancy was associated with significantly fewer hospital attendances for ARI in pregnant women
Highly pathogenic avian influenza A virus (H5N1) is a leading candidate for the next influenza pandemic, and infants and children may play an important role...
In 2009 a new swine-origin influenza virus A/H1N1 (A/H1N1 09) emerged, causing the century's first pandemic.
