Influenza is a serious health problem worldwide. It is important to reduce morbidity and mortality from annual influenza epidemics and to prepare for the next influenza pandemic. During the influenza epidemics every year, an estimated half a million people worldwide die. In 2001, only 250 million vaccine doses were used globally, whereas the people at greatest risk of dying from influenza, those aged over 65, already number more than 380 million. The majority of people, particularly those in developing countries, has no access to the vaccine or are unaware of its benefits. The Global Agenda, which was discussed during a WHO meeting on May 6-7, 2002, contains 17 priority actions focusing on: strengthen clinical/virological surveillance nationally and internationally; increase knowledge on social/economic burden of influenza; increase vaccine usage; and accelerate national and international pandemic plans. The Global Agenda is aimed to give impartial guidance to achieve the above objectives at national/global level, supporting fund raising for influenza control. The WHO Global Influenza Programme intends to maintain the current momentum of international strategy development and will continue to provide leadership in influenza prevention and control.
流感是一个全球性的严重健康问题。降低每年流感流行造成的发病率和死亡率，并为下一次流感大流行做好准备，这很重要。在每年的流感流行期间，全球估计有50万人死亡。2001年，全球仅使用了2.5亿剂疫苗，而面临流感死亡风险最高的人群，即65岁以上的人群，已超过3.8亿。大多数人，尤其是发展中国家的人，无法获得疫苗或不了解其益处。2002年5月6日至7日世卫组织会议上讨论的《全球议程》包含17项优先行动，重点关注：加强国家和国际层面的临床/病毒学监测；增加对流感社会/经济负担的认识；提高疫苗使用率；以及加快国家和国际层面的大流行计划。《全球议程》旨在为在国家/全球层面实现上述目标提供公正指导，支持为流感防控筹集资金。世卫组织全球流感规划打算保持当前国际战略发展的势头，并将继续在流感预防和控制方面发挥领导作用。
