On 20 October 2022, we ran a workshop with experts from the academic and government sectors who had contributed to the COVID-19 response in Australia on 'The role of surveillance in epidemic response', at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia. Following the workshop, we developed five recommendations to strengthen respiratory virus surveillance systems in Australia, which we present here. Our recommendations are not intended to be exhaustive. We instead chose to focus on data types that are highly valuable yet typically overlooked by surveillance planners. Three of the recommendations focus on data collection activities that support the monitoring and prediction of disease impact and the effectiveness of interventions (what to measure) and two focus on surveillance methods and capabilities (how to measure).

During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in 2020 and 2021, influenza activity significantly declined. However, influenza resurged in Australia following the relaxation of non-pharmaceutical interventions, with increased influenza virus circulation in early 2022 coinciding with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.2 variant wave. Together with other respiratory virus diseases, these disease impacts on the Australian population and healthcare system have re-emphasised the importance of influenza vaccination and control. We aim to provide an overview of the current seasonal influenza vaccination program in Australia and summarise evidence and considerations underpinning potential future immunisation strategies. Influenza causes disproportionately higher morbidity and mortality in young children and older adults. Other populations at elevated risk from influenza include Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, pregnant women, and people with certain underlying medical conditions. All Australians aged ≥ 6 months are recommended to receive influenza vaccine every year. The National Immunisation Program (NIP) provides free vaccine for eligible at-risk populations. While approximately 70% of older adults had received influenza vaccine in 2022, coverage in other age groups remains suboptimal. There are several key unmet needs and challenges, but also potential strategies for enhancing the influenza vaccination program in Australia. Improved monitoring and evaluation, including the use of relevant linked datasets for such purposes, is imperative to better understand variations in coverage and vaccination impact in specific populations. Adoption of evidence-based strategies, such as culturally appropriate resources that consider the characteristics of diverse Australian populations, may also help to achieve higher vaccine coverage rates. Additionally, greater vaccine uptake across the population could be facilitated by expanding the NIP-eligible population where cost-effective, and adopting the use of more effective and different types of vaccines when available.</p>","PeriodicalId":36867,"journal":{"name":"Communicable diseases intelligence (2018)","volume":"48 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141634834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The TGA strongly promoted and facilitated adverse event reporting in preparation for, and during, the COVID-19 vaccine rollout as a core component of the most intensive vaccine safety monitoring ever conducted in Australia. There were 111,348 AEFI reports for COVID-19 vaccines administered in 2021, an annual AEFI reporting rate of 271.4 per 100,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccines administered to people aged ≥ 12 years. The annual AEFI reporting rate for non-COVID-19 vaccines in 2021 was 30.6 per 100,000 doses administered to people of all ages. Overall, the most frequently reported symptoms were headache, adverse events classified as 'gastrointestinal nonspecific symptoms and therapeutic procedures', myalgia, pyrexia and fatigue, which were consistent with common expected adverse events following COVID-19 vaccines used in Australia. The most commonly reported adverse events of special interest were myocarditis and/or pericarditis, followed by thrombosis and thromboembolism, and anaphylaxis. Of all COVID-19 vaccine AEFI reports, 762 (0.7%) included a fatal outcome, of which over 80% were in people aged ≥ 60 years. Thirteen deaths reported in 2021 were assessed as likely to be causally linked to vaccination. This report confirms the value of spontaneous post-marketing vaccine pharmacovigilance, especially in the context of new vaccines using novel vaccine technologies and near whole-of-population pandemic vaccination programs. The most frequently reported AEFI for COVID-19 vaccines were common, mild and temporary (lasting 1 or 2 days), and consistent with clinical trial and active surveillance data. Ongoing safety monitoring detected rare, unexpected conditions, such as myocarditis/pericarditis and thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS), which were investigated and confirmed as safety signals, resulting in changes to vaccine recommendations and product information. The outcomes of TGA monitoring were published in weekly vaccine safety reports.
