Abstract

Although the COVID-19 pandemic dominates the infectious disease headlines, influenza remains a striking public-health problem in Canada, with up to 7 million people sickened during a non-pandemic flu season. The seasonal flu-vaccine coverage has yet to meet the 80-percent Canadian target, even in the vulnerable over-65s. During a COVID-19-dominated flu season, presenters at the Canadian Immunization Conference 2020 discussed strategies to improve flu-vaccine uptake and better evaluate vaccine effectiveness. Speakers also explored commonalities between the two infectious diseases and how flu science could inform COVID-19 medicine.
