Could chatbots help devise the next pandemic virus?
Tech experts have been sounding the alarm that artificial intelligence (AI) could turn against humanity by taking over everything from business to warfare. Now, Kevin Esvelt is adding another worry: AI could help somebody with no science background and evil intentions design and order a virus capable of unleashing a pandemic. Esvelt, a biosecurity expert at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, recently asked students to create a dangerous virus with the help of ChatGPT or other so-called large language models, systems that can generate humanlike responses to broad questions based on vast training sets of interne...

Knowledge and attitudes about vaccinations among medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic
CONCLUSION: During university training, more emphasis should be placed on monitoring the willingness of students to be vaccinated, and on developing knowledge and communication. Orv Hetil. 2023; 164(21): 803-810.PMID:37245204 | DOI:10.1556/650.2023.32774

The impact of a vaccine mandate and the COVID-19 pandemic on influenza vaccination uptake in Western Australian health care students
Vaccine. 2022 Aug 22:S0264-410X(22)01026-X. doi: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2022.08.040. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAnnual influenza vaccination of health care students and workers helps protect themselves and patients from influenza, which has a high disease burden during seasonal peaks in Australia. Health care students are an important cohort whose early attitudes and habits towards influenza vaccination may influence future behaviours. We explored the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours towards influenza vaccination of health care students in two universities from 2018 to 2020 using convergent mixed methodology. We also ass...

Prevalence and factors of influenza vaccination during the COVID-19 pandemic among university students in China
CONCLUSIONS: The COVID-19 pandemic may have influenced actual behavior and intention of IV uptake among university students during the pandemic. Efforts are warranted to reduce the intention-behavior gap of IV uptake; modification of perceived susceptibility and perceived severity regarding COVID-19 may help. Future longitudinal and intervention studies are needed to confirm the findings of this study and explore other factors affecting IV uptake during the COVID-19 period.PMID:35527061 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2022.04.077

Cost-effectiveness analysis of quadrivalent seasonal influenza vaccines in Beijing: A modeling analysis
CONCLUSION: The introduction of QIVs to school children, elderly adults, or HCWs is likely to be cost-effective, either separately or collectively. The introduction of QIV to school children, elderly adults, and health care workers simultaneously showed the highest probability of being cost-effective and was the preferred option.PMID:35065820 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2022.01.006

Evaluation of a city-wide school-located influenza vaccination program in Oakland, California with respect to race and ethnicity: A matched cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: SLIV was associated with higher vaccination coverage and lower influenza hospitalization, but associations varied by race/ethnicity. SLIV alone may be insufficient to ensure equitable influenza outcomes.PMID:34872797 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2021.11.073
