Dr. Hassen Mohammed, an Early Career Researcher at the Vaccinology and Immunology Research Trials Unit (VIRTU), earned his Ph.D. from the University of Adelaide in 2021. His research primarily centers around the epidemiology and burden of vaccine-preventable diseases, vaccine coverage, safety, and effectiveness. Since beginning his Ph.D. in 2017, he has published 19 peer-reviewed studies, including nine first-author publications, with a field-weighted citation impact of 3.27 (2018-2024). He has also contributed to commissioned evaluations of vaccine programs, such as South Australia's School Immunisation Programs , the COVID-19 vaccine roll-out in SA (2022), and the distribution of the 2020 SA Influenza vaccine. Additionally, he has been involved in drafting the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) advice for pre-Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee (PBAC) submissions (2021-2022).
Hassen is an early-career researcher at Vaccinology and Immunology Research Trials Unit (VIRTU). He completed his honours degree with a first class and awarded his PhD in 2021 from the University of Adelaide. His research interest include broadly in areas of vaccine preventable diseases, vaccine coverage, safety and effectiveness.
