应对COVID-19疫情防控新形势,加强儿童季节性流感疫苗接种儿科专家倡议

Pediatric initiative on improving uptake of seasonal influenza vaccination among children during the COVID-19 pandemic

新型冠状病毒疾病(COVID-19)疫情常态防控下,对其他疾病(如季节性流感)及其疫苗接种的规范化管理,特别是预防冬春季季节性流感和COVID-19的叠加影响,成为医疗领域工作的关键。冬春季是季节性流感流行季节,儿童是流感高危人群,中小学及托幼机构是流感疫情暴发主要场所。为降低儿童流感感染风险,全球儿科呼吸联盟(Global Pediatric Pulmonology Alliance,GPPA)组织专家组发出倡议。本次倡议涉及儿童流感流行特征及疫情暴发现状、COVID-19疫情下儿童流感疫苗接种意义,并结合国内外指南、共识制定儿童流感疫苗接种策略,以供各界相关人士参考。

In the time of regular COVID-19 prevention and control,it has been a medical priority to standardize the management of other diseases(like seasonal influenza)and relevant vaccination,especially to prevent the epidemic of both seasonal influenza and COVID-19 in winter and spring.In the influenza season of winter and spring,children are among those most vulnerable to influenza,making primary schools,secondary schools and nursing centers an influenza epicenter.To reduce the chance of infection among children,Global Pediatric Pulmonology Alliance(GPPA)has organized an expert team to make a proposal.This proposal introduces the epidemiologic features of child influenza,the status quo of the COVID-19 pandemic,and the necessity of child influenza shots during the COVID-19 pandemic.Besides,vaccination strategies based on national and international guidelines/consensuses are elaborated for the reference of relevant people from all walks of life.
