    Abstract Influenza is a common respiratory infection that causes considerable morbidity and mortality worldwide each year. In recent years, along with the improvement in computational resources, there have been a number of important developments in the science of influenza surveillance and forecasting. Influenza surveillance systems have been improved by synthesizing multiple sources of information. Influenza forecasting has developed into an active field, with annual challenges in the United States that have stimulated improved methodologies. Work continues on the optimal approaches to assimilating surveillance data and information on relevant driving factors to improve estimates of the current situation (nowcasting) and to forecast future dynamics.

    Abstract Background: School based-measures such as school closure and school holidays have been considered a viable intervention during the hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) epidemic. The aim of this study was to explore the association of nationwide public health and social measures (PHSMs) including planned school vacation on the transmissibility and attack rate of the HFMD epidemic in South Korea.
    Methods: In this study, we used Korean national surveillance data on HFMD from 2014 to 2019 to estimate the temporal changes in HFMD transmissibility (instantaneous reproductive number, R
    Results: We found that school vacations and 2015 PHSMs were associated with the reduced R
    Conclusions: PHSMs likely have a larger association with reduced HFMD transmissibility than school-based measures alone (i.e. school vacations). Preventive measures targeting preschoolers could be considered as potential options for reducing the future burden of HFMD.

    Abstract Background: School based-measures such as school closure and school holidays have been considered a viable intervention during the hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) epidemic. The aim of this study was to explore the association of nationwide public health and social measures (PHSMs) including planned school vacation on the transmissibility and attack rate of the HFMD epidemic in South Korea. Methods: In this study, we used Korean national surveillance data on HFMD from 2014 to 2019 to estimate the temporal changes in HFMD transmissibility (instantaneous reproductive number, Rt). Furthermore, to assess the changes in the HFMD attack rate, we used a stochastic transmission model to simulate the HFMD epidemic with no school vacation and nationwide PHSMs in 2015 South Korea. Results: We found that school vacations and 2015 PHSMs were associated with the reduced Rt by 2–7 % and 13 %, respectively. Model projections indicated school vacations and 2015 PHSMs were associated with reduced HFMD attack rate by an average of 1.10 % (range: 0.38–1.51 %). Conclusions: PHSMs likely have a larger association with reduced HFMD transmissibility than school-based measures alone (i.e. school vacations). Preventive measures targeting preschoolers could be considered as potential options for reducing the future burden of HFMD.

    Abstract Objectives: Variants of concern (VOCs) of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), such as the Delta variant and the Omicron variant, have reached all countries/regions of the world and have had a tremendous impact. This study analyses the global spread of VOCs of SARS-CoV-2.
    Methods: Biweekly aggregated numbers of several VOCs were retrieved for 58 locations. The time interval for the proportion of VOC samples to exceed 60% (indicating dominance) among all samples sequenced in each location was calculated. The times taken for a VOC to become dominant in 12 (or 36) locations was defined in order to quantify the speed of spread.
    Results: It took 63, 56 and 28 days for the Alpha, Delta and Omicron variants to become dominant in 12 locations, respectively, and 133, 70 and 28 days for the Alpha, Delta and Omicron variants to become dominant in 36 locations.
    Conclusions: The Omicron variant has much higher transmission potential compared with the Delta variant, and the Delta variant has higher transmission potential compared with the pre-Delta VOCs.

    Abstract Public disclosure from Chinese local Health Commissions show that male and mid-aged index patients are the major source of virus from outside to the households. This implies that two important actions should be taken in disease control. First considers the kindergarten and school closure time. Local kindergarten and primary schools should postpone their admission and regular operation, to at least not earlier than local secondary schools. Second, workplace hygiene is of particular important in the next phase of disease control. As travel restrictions within China are being gradually lifted, we suggest that workplace hygiene should be taken serious care in the next month or two.

    Abstract To model estimated deaths averted by COVID-19 vaccines, we used state-of-the-art mathematical modeling, likelihood-based inference, and reported COVID-19 death and vaccination data. We estimated that >1.5 million deaths were averted in 12 countries. Our model can help assess effectiveness of the vaccination program, which is crucial for curbing the COVID-19 pandemic.
