The Unprecedented Influenza Epidemic of 2024/2025: Overshadowing the COVID‐19 Winter Wave and Exploring Viral Interference
We advocate enhanced surveillance, adopting wastewater monitoring as demonstrated in the U.S., and integrated vaccination campaigns with combined influenza-COVID-19 vaccines, currently in phase III trials, to boost immunity. Resource allocation, informed by the 2024/2025 hospital overload, is essential to manage surges. This article underscores the need for global coordination to understand viral interference and prepare for shifting respiratory virus dynamics, offering actionable strategies to mitigate future epidemics, including those caused by other viruses.
