Abstract Background The Recipient Epidemiology and Donor Evaluation Study-IV-Pediatric (REDS-IV-P) Epidemiology, Surveillance Preparedness of the Novel SARS-CoV-2 Epidemic (RESPONSE) seroprevalence study conducted monthly cross-sectional testing for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibodies in blood donors 6 US metropolitan regions to estimate extent infections over time. Methods During March–August 2020, approximately ≥1000 serum specimens were collected from...
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends that all health care personnel (HCP) receive an annual influenza vaccination to reduce influenza-related morbidity and mortality among HCP their patients absenteeism (1-4). To estimate coverage in the United States during 2016-17 season, CDC conducted opt-in Internet panel survey of 2,438 HCP. Overall, 78.6% respondents reported receiving similar previous three seasons (5). Vaccination continued be higher working hospitals...
Previous severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination, independently combined ("hybrid immunity"), result in partial protection from subsequent strong disease. Proportions of the US population who have been infected, vaccinated, or hybrid immunity remain unclear, posing a challenge for assessing effective pandemic mitigation strategies.In this serial cross-sectional study, nationwide blood donor specimens collected during...
Various underlying medical conditions (UMCs) elevate the risk of influenza-associated hospitalization. We evaluated how these rates changed by type and number UMCs. Retrospective cohorts were constructed among adult members two health systems aged ≥18 years with prior healthcare utilization. Across 2016-17 to 2019-20 seasons, we estimated hospitalization Hospitalizations defined using discharge diagnoses or laboratory confirmation. calculated adjusted rate ratios (aRR) Poisson regression...
Abstract The proportion of SARS-CoV-2 infections diagnosed by COVID-19 tests, including home antigen is unknown. We detected among U.S. blood donors testing for nucleocapsid antibody (anti-N) seroconversion and administered a questionnaire to determine the those that were associated with self-reported positive test. Among serologic evidence infection who completed survey, 47.7% reported an This changed from July-December 2020 (44.9%) 2022 (54.8%). study suggests many in adults are not
