Pharmaceutical and Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions

Laura GADEA-SALOM

Influenza A and SARS-CoV-2 continue to pose significant global public health challenges, highlighting the need for effective preventive strategies. Vaccination remains the cornerstone of reducing morbidity, mortality, and alleviating pressure on healthcare systems. Nevertheless, vaccine efficacy is influenced by numerous factors, and not all populations achieve optimal protection through vaccination alone. Therefore, the combination of pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions is essential for comprehensive disease management.

Beyond Your PhD: ECaS Panel Inspires PhDs on Future Career Opportunities

What happens after the PhD defence? For many early career researchers, that question marks the beginning of a new kind of uncertainty. At the ESWI 10th Influenza Conference, the ECaS “Life After PhD” career panel turned that uncertainty into excitement, proving that the end of a PhD is not a finish line, but the beginning of endless possibilities.

The Anatomy of the Next Influenza Vaccine

Jennifer ZHONG

Since its inception in the 1940s, influenza vaccination has remained our most effective tool against flu pandemics. Over the decades, vaccine formulations have evolved – from early monovalent egg-based vaccines to the inactivated quadrivalent intramuscular vaccines most commonly used today. What might the next generation of influenza vaccines look like? The parallel session Future Vaccination Strategies – Part 1 offered a compelling glimpse into the directions researchers are taking.

Unveiling the true community burden of respiratory viruses

Nicole Ngai Yung TSANG

Unveiling the underlying burden of respiratory viruses in the community is challenging. Accurate diagnostic testing and case identification methods are the cornerstones of unbiased ascertainment. For effective control of respiratory infections, understanding the true community burden—including mild and asymptomatic cases—can inform assessments of virus transmission within the community.
