Dr Thuy Nguyen’s research focuses on vaccine safety surveillance, infectious disease epidemiology, and health services research. She has experience in post-market vaccine safety monitoring, analysing adverse events following immunisation (AEFI) to support immunisation programs and policy decisions. She is also involved in infectious disease surveillance and modelling, with work on tuberculosis, COVID-19, and other infectious diseases. Her research applies epidemiological and biostatistical methods to understand disease patterns and assess public health interventions. Her work aims to provide evidence that strengthens vaccine programs, public health policies, and healthcare systems.
