Viral Protection Strategies During Pandemic Periods: A Comprehensive Evidence-Based Review of Prevention Protocols and Outcomes
Keywords:
viral pandemic prevention, non-pharmacological interventions, mRNA vaccination, SARS-CoV-2, infection control protocols, respiratory protection, pandemic preparednessAbstract
Viral pandemics represent recurrent global health crises that demand multi-layered prevention strategies encompassing non-pharmacological interventions (NPIs), vaccination programs, environmental engineering controls, and digital surveillance systems. This comprehensive review synthesizes evidence from 50 high-quality publications sourced from Q1–Q2 journals to evaluate the comparative efficacy of viral protection methods deployed during major pandemic periods, including the 1918 Influenza, 2009 H1N1, 2012 MERS-CoV, 2014 Ebola, and 2019–2023 SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks. Evidence consistently demonstrates that layered NPIs—including FFP2/N95 respirators, WHO-compliant hand hygiene, and strict physical distancing—reduce transmission by 67–95%. mRNA vaccination platforms achieve efficacy exceeding 90% against ancestral strains. Environmental controls such as HEPA filtration and UV-C germicidal irradiation provide supplementary pathogen reduction in healthcare and community settings. Integrated test-trace-isolate (TTI) protocols further attenuate reproductive numbers. Health systems must institutionalize adaptive preparedness frameworks that combine these evidence-based modalities to mitigate future pandemic mortality and morbidity.
