Abstract

Reports show that other ordinary childhood infections like measles or influenza are likely to reemerge. The re-emergence of infectious diseases may happen due to the direct impact of the pandemic on the community because of decreased access to health and medical services, interrupted transport systems, weaknesses in the supply chain, flight restrictions, closings of the border, and international trade problems. The most prevalent cause (60.9%) for low vaccine uptake and coverage during the current pandemic was fear of exposure to the COVID-19 virus outside the home. The expectation and hope that the pattern of reduction in transmission and number of influenza cases will continue over the next flu season depend on continued adherence to nonpharmaceutical interventions and their long-term application. But there is always the fear and threat of increasing the spread of influenza by reducing the movement restrictions and low adherence to protective health measures due to vaccination. So far, not much information has been published about the interaction between different infectious diseases in the background of the coronavirus pandemic and related interventions. The purpose of this article is to examine the general effects of the COVID-19 vaccination on the spread of influenza in the coming seasons.

COVID-19大规模疫苗接种和流感季节:对公共卫生措施减少和流感形势恶化的担忧
报告显示,麻疹或流感等其他普通儿童传染病可能再次出现。由于获得卫生和医疗服务的机会减少、运输系统中断、供应链薄弱、飞行限制、边境关闭和国际贸易问题,大流行对社区的直接影响可能会导致传染病重新出现。在当前大流行期间,疫苗接种率和覆盖率低的最普遍原因(60.9%)是害怕在家庭以外接触COVID-19病毒。人们对流感传播和流感病例数量减少的预期和希望将在下一个流感季节继续下去,这取决于是否继续坚持非药物干预措施并长期应用。但是,由于减少行动限制和由于接种疫苗而对保护性卫生措施的依从性较低,始终存在增加流感传播的恐惧和威胁。到目前为止,关于冠状病毒大流行背景下不同传染病之间的相互作用以及相关干预措施的信息还不多。本文的目的是研究COVID-19疫苗接种对未来季节流感传播的一般影响。

期刊介绍: Infectious Disorders - Drug Targets aims to cover all the latest and outstanding developments on the medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, molecular biology, genomics and biochemistry of contemporary molecular targets involved in infectious disorders e.g. disease specific proteins, receptors, enzymes, genes. Each issue of the journal contains a series of timely in-depth reviews written by leaders in the field covering a range of current topics on drug targets involved in infectious disorders. As the discovery, identification, characterization and validation of novel human drug targets for anti-infective drug discovery continues to grow, this journal will be essential reading for all pharmaceutical scientists involved in drug discovery and development.
