<p dir="ltr"><b>Dataset 1: Clinical Symptom Profile of Community COVID-19 Cases</b></p><p dir="ltr"><b>Scope of the Data:</b><br>This research project involves a comprehensive analysis of the clinical profiles of COVID-19 infections within a community-based population. The primary objective is to characterize the clinical profiles associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection in a non-hospitalized setting. The study comprises a substantial sample size of over 10,000 participants. The target participants are individuals aged ≥5 years or older from the community in Hong Kong. This study captured a wide range of demographics and disease severities, from asymptomatic to severe cases typically managed outside of a hospital environment.</p><p dir="ltr"><b>Description of the Data Files:</b><br>The data files contain systematically collected, de-identified information on the signs and symptoms reported or observed in confirmed COVID-19 patients. This dataset generally includes details on common symptoms. The data allows for the analysis of symptom patterns, duration, and severity within the large cohort. The information is structured to facilitate research into the symptomatic patterns of community-acquired COVID-19.</p><h3><b>Dataset 2: Side Effect Profiles Following First-Dose Influenza Vaccination in School-Aged Children</b></h3><p dir="ltr"><b>1. Scope of the Data:</b><br>This study focuses on the side effects following the first dose of seasonal influenza vaccination among children participating in Hong Kong's School Outreach Vaccination Program (SOVP), from 2018/2019 to 2023/2024. The data encompasses a large sample size of over 10,000 children who were enrolled in SOVP. The target participants are school-aged children who received their first dose of the seasonal influenza vaccine through this organized public health initiative.</p><p dir="ltr"><b>2. Description of the Data Files:</b><br>The data files consist of de-identified records documenting the side effects reported following influenza vaccination. The data generally captures the spectrum of common reactions. The nature of the data across multiple seasons allows for the examination of consistency in the safety profile year-over-year. The information is valuable for understanding the typical reaction patterns to the first dose of the influenza vaccine in a pediatric population within a real-world, school-based vaccination setting.</p><p><br></p>
