Design of non-pharmaceutical intervention strategies for pandemic influenza outbreaks
BACKGROUND As seen during past pandemic influenza outbreaks, pharmaceutical interventions (PHIs) with vaccines and antivirals are the most effective methods of mitigation. However, availability of PHIs is unlikely to be adequate during the early stages of a pandemic. Hence, for early mitigation and possible containment, non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) offer a viable alternative. Also, N...
متن کاملReactive strategies for containing developing outbreaks of pandemic influenza
BACKGROUND In 2009 and the early part of 2010, the northern hemisphere had to cope with the first waves of the new influenza A (H1N1) pandemic. Despite high-profile vaccination campaigns in many countries, delays in administration of vaccination programs were common, and high vaccination coverage levels were not achieved. This experience suggests the need to explore the epidemiological and econ...
متن کاملInfluenza pandemic intervention planning using InfluSim: pharmaceutical and non- pharmaceutical interventions
BACKGROUND Influenza pandemic preparedness plans are currently developed and refined on national and international levels. Much attention has been given to the administration of antiviral drugs, but contact reduction can also be an effective part of mitigation strategies and has the advantage to be not limited per se. The effectiveness of these interventions depends on various factors which mus...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness of Pharmaceutical- based Pandemic Influenza Mitigation Strategies
The states are vector structures containing 12 elements representing 3 possible vaccination groups (no-vaccine (i=1), pre-vaccine and matched vaccine (i=2) or matched vaccine only (i=3)) and 3 population groups (0-19 years (j=1), 20-64 years (j=2), and 65+ (j=3)). Susceptible states, for example, can be written as Si, i,j=1..3. The parameters ω and γ were fixed constants representing the rate o...
متن کاملModelling Influenza Pandemic, Intervention Strategies, and Food Distribution
Based on the recent incidents of avian flu (H5N1) in Asia and the influenza pandemic cases in history (1918, 1957 and 1968) experts believe that a future influenza pandemic is inevitable and likely imminent. Evidence suggests that an efficient and rapid response will be crucial for mitigating morbidity, mortality, and costs to society. Hence, preparing for a potential influenza pandemic has rec...
