The COVID-19 pandemic, and the fight to control it via pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions, changed today’s landscape of infectious diseases, including other pathogens circulation. Our symposium will focus on the most recent information regarding influenza, from the burden of disease perspective as well as from the vaccination one, in the current COVID-19 environment. We will also present the most recent data regarding innovative influenza vaccines recently licensed and recognized to bring public health values to the most vulnerable populations, also impacted by COVID-19. The QA session will allow an interactive discussion on the best use of these new vaccines for the upcoming influenza seasons
