International Conference on Flu
2015-06-08 - 2015-06-10 | North Shore Conference Center, 9599 Skokie Boulevard, Chicago, IL, 60077, United States
Omics International welcomes you to The International Conference on Flu to be held from June 8-10, 2015 in Chicago, USA. The theme of Flu-2015 is “Advanced Research in Flu.” Omics International organizes 1000+ Global events every year across the globe with support from 1000+ more scientific societies and Publishes 500 Open access journals which contains over 50000 eminent personalities, reputed scientists as editorial board members. The conference expects the participation of experts from various cross disciplines like virologists, immunologists, microbiologists, epidemiologists, doctors, public health planners, pharmacologists, computational biologists, and those in applied fields conducting influenza related research.
As the world shrinks the ease with which an infectious diseases spreads amongst the population increases exponentially. Influenza or flu as it is commonly known is one such disease. The flu virus is unstable and mutates often. This virus while mostly non-lethal can easily develop the ability to kill and infect millions of people, as seen with the Spanish Flu of 1918. The scientific community must therefore work together to make sure any new influenza strain is constantly monitored and with the help of surveillance programs prevent a lethal influenza epidemic.Due to the non-stable nature of the flu virus many companies are trying to develop a universal vaccine which will work against all strains of influenza. The NIH has 5 Centers of Excellence for Influenza Research and Surveillance where groundbreaking research is carried out. The amount of influenza vaccines doses ordered increases by 5% yearly and the NIH spends around $ 312 million dollars on influenza related research yearly. The need for consensus amongst academia and business has been recognized by Omics International and so we are proud to host the International Conference on Flu.

Clinical Vaccination Guidance for Pregnant People
2023-08-10 14:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York)
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) continue to emphasize the importance of vaccinations for pregnant people. CDC and ACOG recommend pregnant people get vaccinated against pertussis, influenza, and COVID-19 during each pregnancy to protect themselves and to protect their baby from these infections during the first few months of life. There have been concerning declines in vaccination coverage for Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) and influenza vaccines, and low uptake of COVID-19 vaccines among pregnant people. In addition, racial and ethnic disparities persist in vaccination coverage among pregnant people.

During this COCA Call, presenters will give a comprehensive overview of timing and promotion of vaccines people should receive during pregnancy to protect themselves, their pregnancies, and their babies, focusing on Tdap, influenza, and COVID-19 vaccines, and provide an update on the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine for pregnant people.

Maria will share her story and her fight to live, as well as why she advocates for patients to be vaccinated. Jacqueline Jourjy will answer questions related to COVID-19 vaccination and the available vaccines. No continuing education will be offered.
