Statement

Jennifer King, MPH is an epidemiologist and project manager in CCEPH with a primary focus on respiratory and vaccine-preventable infections. She serves as project manager for the CDC-funded US Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness (Flu VE) Network and related clinical trials of influenza vaccine immune response. The Network has also recently been leveraged to investigate COVID-19 epidemiology. She was a co-investigator on Vaccine Safety Datalink studies including evaluations of the safety of influenza vaccination during early pregnancy. Ms. King contributes to all aspects of study planning and implementation, protocol development, operational planning, data analysis, and preparation of manuscripts and reports. In addition, she provides consultation and support for the MCRI trauma research program.

Prior to joining Marshfield Clinic in 2013, Ms. King was a project leader at Northwestern University, Feinberg School of Medicine. She directed a large, multi-site, cross-sectional study on over-the-counter pain relievers and potential interventions to reduce medication errors. During her graduate studies, she gained experience as an intern at both state and national public health agencies.
