In the Northern Hemisphere, the persistence or reemergence of coronavirus circulation into the 2020-2021 influenza season threatens to overwhelm health-care resources and systems and increase mortality and morbidity. Data from Australia show that stay-at-home policies have reduced both influenza and coronavirus cases early in the season, thus "flattening the curve." However, influenza vaccination is critical to ensure the reduction in co-infection. Several policies, such as vaccination strategies to accommodate physical distancing measures, change population recommendations, and timing and location of vaccination have been implemented to increase influenza vaccine uptake during the pandemic. This commentary explores those policies.
在北半球，冠状病毒的持续存在或再次出现，可能会使 2020-2021 年流感季节的医疗资源和系统不堪重负，并导致死亡率和发病率上升。来自澳大利亚的数据显示，居家隔离政策在流感季节早期减少了流感和冠状病毒的病例，从而“拉平了曲线”。然而，流感疫苗接种对于确保减少合并感染至关重要。在大流行期间，已经实施了几项政策，例如为适应身体距离措施而制定的疫苗接种策略、改变人群建议以及接种时间和地点，以提高流感疫苗接种率。本评论探讨了这些政策。
