Epidemiology and Risk of Novel and Seasonal Influenza Viruses and the Value of Prevention, Treatment, and Mitigation Strategies for Annual Epidemic and Pandemic Preparedness and Response in Thailand: The National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD), Influenza Division (ID), seeks to initiate a cooperative agreement with the Thailand Ministry of Public Health (MOPH), Nonthaburi, Thailand, to develop the evidence base and best practices to define the pandemic risk of novel influenza viruses and other respiratory pathogens circulating in humans and animals. Objectives also include supporting MOPH priority work to determine the impact and cost of seasonal influenza among vulnerable populations; assessing the value of influenza and other respiratory pathogen vaccines, antiviral medications, and other mitigation strategies; and evaluating optimal strategies for influenza and other respiratory pathogen vaccine delivery, communications and adverse event monitoring, to inform vaccine program optimization. It is desired that sustainable best practices, identified through this cooperative agreement, will provide useful strategies that may be implemented in Thailand and in neighboring countries in Southeast Asia.
