Funded Activity Summary
Social, Economic, and Health Benefits of Vaccinating Children in Day Care Centres against Influenza. Young children are frequently hospitalised for influenza. Infected children are also highly likely to transmit to child and adult contacts resulting in additional hospitalisations, and medical visits constituting a major societal and economic burden. Other social impacts include parental and day care staff work absence, and grandparental illness. Using a highly scientific approach to vaccinating children against influenza in preschool settings, we will determine the social and economic benefits to families and industry: employers of parents, and importantly the growing child-care industry.Funded Activity Details
