Abstract

Abstract: Pandemics expose vulnerabilities in health systems but also reaf-firm the central role of prevention. Evidence from H1N1 and COVID-19 highlights three decisive dimensions: protection of healthcare workers, vaccine uptake among youth, and public health measures such as contact tracing. Correct personal protective equipment (PPE) use and limited exposure proved essential in healthcare settings, while vaccination markedly reduced severity and supported control of spread. Experiences across both pandemics converge on one lesson: integrating individual preventive practices with immunization is indispensable to mitigate transmission, reduce disease burden, and strengthen preparedness for future threats.

变化的病毒，不变的教训：预防措施在流行病中的持久作用。

大流行暴露了卫生系统的脆弱性，但也重申了预防的核心作用。来自H1N1和COVID-19的证据突出了三个决定性方面：保护卫生保健工作者、青年接种疫苗以及接触者追踪等公共卫生措施。事实证明，在卫生保健环境中，正确使用个人防护装备和有限接触至关重要，而疫苗接种可显著降低严重程度并支持控制传播。这两次大流行的经验都归结为一个教训：将个人预防做法与免疫结合起来，对于减轻传播、减轻疾病负担和加强对未来威胁的准备是必不可少的。
