20 provinces in Vietnam

We plan to set up a network of 20 provincial hospitals across the country and collect from each of them 200 residual serum samples from routine venipunctures every four months.

Background

Compared to classical surveillance based on passive case reporting, sero-surveillance actively samples serum from the population to assess the level of protection against infectious diseases. This method can be useful for many purposes, particularly to fine-tune vaccination campaigns against vaccine-preventable diseases.

Aims

We plan to set up a network of 20 provincial hospitals across the country and collect from each of them 200 residual serum samples from routine venipunctures every four months. Sample collection is age- and sex-stratified, with a great emphasis on younger age classes. The serum bank that comes out of this can be used for real-time assessment of the level of population protection and for retrospective analyses of past circulation.
