The United States has made considerable progress in pandemic preparedness. Limited attention, however, has been given to the challenges faced by populations that will be at increased risk of the consequences of the pandemic, including challenges caused by societal, economic, and health-related factors. This supplement to the American Journal of Public Health focuses on the challenges faced by at-risk and vulnerable populations in preparing for and responding to an influenza pandemic. Here, we provide background information for subsequent articles throughout the supplement. We summarize (1) seasonal influenza epidemiology, transmission, clinical illness, diagnosis, vaccines, and antiviral medications; (2) H5N1 avian influenza; and (3) pandemic influenza vaccines, antiviral medications, and nonpharmaceutical interventions.
美国在大流行防范方面取得了显著进展。然而，对于那些在大流行后果方面面临更高风险的人群所面临的挑战，包括由社会、经济和健康相关因素造成的挑战，关注有限。《美国公共卫生杂志》的这一增刊聚焦于高危和弱势群体在为应对流感大流行做准备及应对过程中所面临的挑战。在此，我们为增刊中的后续文章提供背景信息。我们总结了：（1）季节性流感的流行病学、传播、临床疾病、诊断、疫苗和抗病毒药物；（2）H5N1禽流感；以及（3）大流行性流感疫苗、抗病毒药物和非药物干预措施。
