Filter by:Dime La VerDAD is an innovative social media capacity-building program that empowers promotores de salud to debunk vaccine misinformation through the use of personal narratives on social media. The core of the implementation strategy consists of augmenting training and self-efficacy for natural community champions, "promotores de salud" from the Hispanic community as trusted messengers to debunk vaccination misinformation. Our study will leverage existing community relationships in Chicago and a first of its kind misinformation curriculum to debunk misinformation in communities served by participating promotores de salud. Dime La VerDAD (Verify, Debunk, and Disseminate) is an innovative social media capacity-building program based on theoretical frameworks related to health communication that empowers promotores de salud to debunk vaccine misinformation through the use of personal narratives on social media. This mixed methods study will use a rigorous stepped wedge design to 1) deliver a scalable program of science communicators using an adapted curriculum grounded in infodemiology, 2) evaluate how debunking misinformation is perceived on social media, and 3) discern how use of personal narratives to enhance science communication can lead to changes in opinions and behavior (vaccination rates) about COVID and influenza vaccines among Chicago's predominantly Hispanic communities.
To evaluate the safety of administering 1 or 2 doses of the quadrivalent influenza virus split vaccine (MDCK cells) (0.5ml/dose) in individuals aged 6 months and above.
This prospective, single-centre, open-label, randomized study aims to determine whether coordinated care in administering protective vaccinations (against Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) and influenza) impacts the prognosis of patients with chronic heart failure. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does coordinated care through vaccinations improve the prognosis of patients with chronic heart failure?
Influenza and other acute respiratory viral infections remain practically uncontrollable diseases due to the high variability of the antigenic structure of influenza viruses and the heterogeneity of pathogens of acute respiratory infections. Therefore, for the prevention and treatment of influenza, acute respiratory viral infections and herpes infections, it is relevant to develop drugs - immunomodulators that mobilize the reserves of nonspecific and specific immune systems and enhance the effects of these systems against the pathogens. The drug CYCLOFERON, 150 mg, enteric-coated tablets, contains the active substance meglumine acridone acetate, which is an interferon inducer. Interferons are the most important system of innate immunity, which has antiviral and immunomodulatory effects, and can protect the body from infection with a virus, and in case of infection, fight the causative agent of the disease. The planned clinical trial of the efficacy and safety of the drug CYCLOFERON in the dosage form of a tablet will study its ability to prevent influenza and other respiratory viral infections in adults who have already had close contact with patients with manifest disease.
The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and effects of the study vaccine for the possible prevention of influenza. Influenza is a disease that can spread easily from one person to another and cause body aches, fever, cough, and other symptoms. The study vaccine is called Pandemic Influenza modRNA (pdmFlu) Vaccine. This study is seeking for participants who are: - between the age of 18 to 49 years old. - willing and able to follow with all scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, lifestyle changes, and other study procedures. - healthy as confirmed by medical history, physical examinations, and the study doctor. - capable of signing informed consent. Participants will receive either: - the pdmFlu Vaccine, - a licensed Influenza Vaccine (QIV) - a placebo. A placebo does not have any medicine in it but looks just like the study medicine. Participants will not know which vaccine they receive. Participants will receive the study vaccines as a single shot in the arm at day 1 and at day 21. The study will compare participant experiences to help understand if the pdmFlu Vaccine is safe and effective. Participants will take part in this study for up to 8 months. During this time, the participants will receive the study vaccine and take part in follow-up visits.
This study will be conducted as a prospective cohort study, enrolling all eligible women in their first trimester of pregnancy during a baseline visit during week 6-13 of pregnancy at Government Medical College Hospital, Nagpur. The Hospital provides primary, secondary, and tertiary care and the obstetric department delivers about 10,000 babies a year. The hypothesis is that co-infection of other respiratory viruses (ORV), particularly COVID-19 and Influenza increases the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in mothers and babies and could address the current standard of care in India to not vaccinate pregnant women during pregnancy, by either encouraging vaccination against both viruses before planning a pregnancy or during pregnancy based on global data supporting the safety of this strategy.
The goal of this prospective, interventional, single-center study is to assess whether the early detection of Influenza with smartwatch algorithms and alerting, rapid testing, and subsequent Baloxavir treatment demonstrate better post-infection outcomes versus publicly available- and Centers for Disease Control (CDC)-derived national statistics for equivalent household populations as well as pediatric kidney, heart, liver, lung transplant recipients and waitlisted patients.
The purpose of this study is to comprehensively describe the temporal and geographic utilization of COVID-19 therapies used for mild to moderate disease during different periods of SARS-CoV-2 variant circulation as well as to compare demographic and clinical characteristics of Veterans who are treated or do not receive these different therapies. The investigators will also perform similar descriptive epidemiology for other respiratory viruses, including RSV and influenza and other infectious diseases. This first phase will critically inform feasibility and direction of the second phase, in which the investigators will use target trial emulation design to study the comparative effectiveness of therapies and vaccines for COVID-19, respiratory viruses, including RSV, and influenza, and other infectious diseases.
This pragmatic randomized trial is designed to evaluate the relative vaccine effectiveness of QIV-HD vs. QIV-SD in reducing the risk of hospitalization for influenza or pneumonia in adults 65-79 years of age in Galicia during 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 seasons.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pre-treatment and single-dose post treatment susceptibility of baloxavir marboxil in participants aged 1 to <12 years with influenza.
