What are Some Examples of Personalized Public Health in Action?
Several initiatives demonstrate the potential of personalized public health:
Genomic Epidemiology: Using genomic data to track and control infectious diseases, such as identifying COVID-19 variants and understanding their spread. Precision Vaccination: Tailoring vaccination strategies to individual or population-level genetic profiles to enhance vaccine efficacy and reduce adverse effects. Behavioral Interventions: Developing personalized health behavior change programs based on individual risk factors, such as smoking cessation programs tailored to genetic predispositions.
