The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has seen a notable global reduction in influenza cases of both influenza A and B viruses. In particular, the B/Yamagata lineage has not been isolated from April 2020 to August 2021, suggesting that this influenza lineage may have become extinct, which may provide opportunities for improving availability and effectiveness of influenza vaccines.
SARS-CoV-2 大流行导致全球 A 型和 B 型流感病毒的病例明显减少。特别是，B/Yamagata 系自 2020 年 4 月至 2021 年 8 月未被分离，表明该流感系可能已经灭绝，这可能为提高流感疫苗的可及性和有效性提供机会。
