Furthermore, as a result of essential measures put in place over the last couple of years to mitigate risk of transmitting COVID infection, the incidence of seasonal influenza has been substantially less than in previous years, raising the potential probability of a more susceptible population with a lessened natural immunity to influenza infection. Indeed, present reports from Australia, inevitably the prelude to later western experience, indicate a rapid rise in influenza A notifications, a challenge reinforced by declining uptake of seasonal influenza vaccine both in Australia and the UK.1
