The post is based in the Public Health Programmes Directorate of UKHSA, working in the Immunisation & Vaccine Preventable Diseases Division. Vaccines have been identified as a key strategic priority for UKHSA. The Immunisation and Vaccine-preventable Diseases Division (in the Public Health Programmes Directorate of the Clinical and Public Health Group) is responsible for the national surveillance of most vaccine preventable infections and in providing technical support and clinical expertise to the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and to the NHS in planning and delivering the national immunisation programmes. These programmes provide millions of vaccines per year, across the whole life course, and are delivered in a range of NHS settings. The division also provides secretariat to the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation who recommend any changes to the national immunisation programme and publish “Immunisation Against Infectious Disease” – the single authoritative source of immunisation advice for health professionals. Job Description The division evaluates the national programme by generating high quality data on disease incidence, vaccine coverage, age-specific immunity, vaccine efficacy and safety and analysis of vaccine policy options (with the statistics and modelling divisions). Surveillance of vaccine preventable diseases and vaccine coverage data are vital components of the evaluation of vaccination programmes in the UK. These data inform the understanding of the epidemiology of different infections and the public health impact of vaccination programmes and help develop and improve control strategies. The post holder will be part of a dynamic national team responsible for delivering the development, management and coordination of enhanced surveillance systems of vaccine preventable diseases. You will take a lead role in the continued development and implementation of the hospital based acute respiratory infection sentinel surveillance (HARISS) system which monitors RSV and other ARI disease admissions in older adults. Other aspects of the role will include cross cover of other surveillance systems in the immunisation department such as sero-surveillance. You will work closely with other members of the respiratory virus team, and work under the support and management of a senior epidemiologist and the consultant epidemiologist. The hospital based acute respiratory infection sentinel surveillance (HARISS) system was developed in 2023/4 within UKHSA with NHS and University partners, with plans to expand the surveillance system network in 2024/5. The surveillance system monitors RSV and other ARI disease admissions in older adults. It aims to strengthen understanding of the burden of RSV, influenza and COVID-19 associated illness requiring hospital admission in older adults and is a platform for estimating he effectiveness of vaccines in preventing hospital admissions and severe outcomes. It also provides a source of sample material from hospitalised patients for virological characterisation of influenza, COVID-19 and RSV. HARISS is closely linked to the UKHSA Respiratory DataMart System (RDMS), a sentinel network of NHS and public health laboratories which provides case-level virological surveillance. The post holder will work closely with, and cross cover as required, the RDMS scientist. Contribute to the development of enhanced surveillance systems and research studies of respiratory diseases, including coronavirus, influenza and respiratory syncytial virus. This post requires an individual with an understanding of respiratory disease epidemiology and surveillance, preferably in a UK context.
