Epidemics III
Highlights
"If history is our guide, we can assume that the battle between the intellect and will of the human species and the extraordinary adaptability of microbes will be never-ending." (1)
Despite all the remarkable technological breakthroughs that we have made over the past few decades, the threat from infectious diseases has significantly accelerated. In this course, we will learn why this is the case by looking at the fundamental scientific principles underlying epidemics and the public health actions behind their prevention and control in the 21st century.
This is the third (control of infectious diseases) of the four courses, covers these topics:
- Disease Surveillance
- Non-pharmaceutical intervention (NPI)
- Vaccination (Effectiveness, Trials, Safety, Impact on Populations, Vaccine Economics, Confidence and Hesitancy)
- Panel Discussion on WHO's Response to the Ebola Outbreak; and Anti-vaccination
