It all continues to point towards a strong #Influenza season in NH due to #subcladeK "...countries should be prepared for increased demands on their healthcare systems". Wear mask if sick and although #vaccine effectiveness is not ideal, some protection is better than none.

• near-global spread of influenza A(H3N2) subclade K
• record case numbers in Australia/New Zealand
• high transmissibility, but no evidence of increased severity
• influenza antivirals still effective

Brace for impact, e.g. get vaccinated: "In the UK...almost all recent cases (98%) have been #influenza A...among those around 84% are H3N2. Of these, around 87% are subclade K." #vaccines #PublicHealth #subcladeK
Flu season is due to peak soon in the Northern Hemisphere and a new variant – known as subclade K – is gaining ground. How well will seasonal flu vaccines stand up against this subclade? Linda Geddes explains: bit.ly/3JIQYaJ
Everything you need to know about ‘subclade K’ flu - and vaccine protection against it
As a new branch of H3N2 influenza gains ground, we explore what it means for this season’s flu vaccine.

Great and timely piece! Since COVID, discussions on pandemics became emotionally charged. Instead of strengthening preparedness, we even cut funds for response readiness. Just follow #COP30 discussions— #deforestation and #biodiversity-loss aren’t exactly delaying the next pandemic. #PublicHealth
Pandemic prevention, preparedness, & response requires urgent, coordinated action—yet funding remains insufficient & fragmented.
In a new Comment, Victor J Dzau & colleagues discuss the challenges & opportunities in financing pandemic PPR.

Very good! Wish it were required reading at #COP30. More facts, more data-driven decisions, less emotion & less symbolism in the climate change discussion please. Only hard work will get us out of this mess. It's not too late yet! @cop30brazil.bsky.social #climate @hannahritchie.bsky.social

Incidence rates are the holy grail of #epidemiology - elusive without systematic testing. New multilevel meta-analyses show 1 in 10 infants have #RSV episodes in primary care. NIVEL researchers went full Indiana Jones on this one—holy grail found #PublicHealth onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Burden of RSV in Young Children in High‐Income Countries: Incidence Estimates From a Multilevel Meta‐Analysis in Primary and Emergency Care
