The Immunization Action Coalition (IAC) is presenting two interactive webinars in September 2021 to emphasize vigilance in preventing influenza in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The first hour-long webinar took place on September 9 and is archived on
this page. It covered the following topics:
- Influenza surveillance in the US and worldwide
- Changes in circulation of other common respiratory pathogens, e.g., recent increases in RSV and other non-COVID-19 viruses
- Changes in vaccine strains and changes in influenza ACIP recommendations
- The impact of influenza
- Communications issues providers may face with regards to perceptions of the need for influenza vaccination
- A public perspective on the importance of influenza vaccination
and advocacy for vulnerable populations (chronic issues).

The second webinar was presented on September 20, 2021, and can be viewed here.

These webinars have been developed by IAC with support from a Seqirus, Inc. educational grant. |
