The impact of influenza vaccination on the COVID-19 pandemic? Evidence and lessons for public health policies
Original language description
The study in Vaccine journal in October 2019 concerned the 2017–18 winter season, and the reported results have nothing to do with the novel Sars-CoV-2 virus, but represent four endemic coronavirus strains regularly circulating in the US. The authors recommend that influenza vaccination continues to be promoted as a central public health measure, as the evidence accrued so far, albeit limited, indicates that it can greatly benefit the management of the coronavirus pandemic, e.g. facilitating differential diagnosis and avoiding an overload of health services and hospitals associated with influenza infections. In addition, influenza vaccination plays an important role in protecting the elderly, which is a group that is particularly vulnerable for COVID-19.
