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. |
