"The Immunization Action Coalition (IAC) presented two interactive webinars in September 2021 to emphasize vigilance in preventing influenza in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The first hour-long webinar took place on September 9 and covered the following topics:

  • Influenza surveillance in the US and worldwide
  • Changes in circulation of other common respiratory pathogens, e.g., recent increases in RSV and other non-COVID-19 viruses
  • Changes in vaccine strains and changes in influenza ACIP recommendations
  • The impact of influenza
  • Communications issues providers may face with regards to perceptions of the need for influenza vaccination
  • A public perspective on the importance of influenza vaccination and advocacy for vulnerable populations (chronic issues)." - The Continued Threat of Influenza and How to Sustain Influenza Vaccination Efforts
