Overview:

Prevention of influenza and its complications among infants and children is a public health priority because of their high risk for influenza-related complication. During the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic children with underlying medical conditions accounted for two-thirds of the 300 children 18 years of age or younger who died from the 2009 H1N1 influenza. Beginning with the 2010-11 influenza season, universal recommendations for influenza vaccination of persons aged ≥6 months has been launched. During this COCA conference call subject matter experts will provide an overview of the current influenza activity, discuss recommendations for prevention and treatment of influenza in children and strategies to improve emergency preparedness response.
