Incidence of healthcare-associated influenza-like illness after a primary care encounter among young children.
The authors evaluated whether exposure to a pediatric clinic visit was associated with subsequent influenza-like illness (ILI) using electronic health record data. They found that pediatric clinic visits during a respiratory virus season were significantly associated with an increased incidence of subsequent ILI among children aged 2 to 6 years but not among those aged less than 2 years. They concluded that their findings support the hypothesis that respiratory virus transmission in a pediatric clinic can result in healthcare-associated ILI in young children.

An economic model assessing the value of microneedle patch delivery of the seasonal influenza vaccine.
The researchers utilized a susceptible-exposed-infectious-recovered transmission model linked to an economic influenza outcomes model to assess the economic value of introducing the microneedle patch (MNP) into the U.S. influenza vaccine market from the third-party payer and societal perspectives. They concluded that if healthcare providers administered the MNP, its introduction would be less costly and more effective in the majority of scenarios assessed.
