What are the Benefits of Genomic Surveillance in Pediatrics?
1. Early Detection: Identifying new strains of pathogens early can help in controlling potential outbreaks in schools and communities. 2. Targeted Therapies: Understanding the genetic makeup of pathogens enables the development of more effective treatments specifically tailored for children. 3. Vaccine Development: Surveillance data can guide vaccine formulation to ensure it is effective against current strains affecting children. 4. Public Health Policies: Data from genomic surveillance can inform public health strategies to protect pediatric populations.
