Western Pacific Surveillance and Response

English

The use of seasonal influenza vaccine remains an important factor of influenza prevention as well as for pandemic preparedness. This was demonstrated in Fiji in 2016, where a strong global influenza network was able to detect and respond to an unusual seasonal influenza event. However, despite the known importance of seasonal influenza vaccination, in the World Health Organization Western Pacific Region, the number of doses distributed per 1000 population has decreased over the past years. There are several efforts ongoing to address this gap in use of seasonal influenza vaccine and continued collaboration is needed to ensure we are best prepared for the next pandemic
