Influenza has always been a major global public health problem. At present, the COVID-19 epidemic is still at a high level in the world and the risk of imported cases from abroad persists, especially the continuous emergence of coronavirus variants brings more uncertainty to the development of the epidemic. In winter and spring, there is a risk of superimposed epidemics of the COVID-19 and influenza and other respiratory infectious diseases, which will increase the complexity and difficulty of influenza prevention and control. How to scientifically explain the activity characteristics of influenza virus in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, and whether there is a possibility of a large-scale influenza outbreak or epidemic are issues that need to be solved urgently.

The purpose of this conference is to build the most advanced influenza prevention and control technology exchange and sharing platform, and to strengthen the cooperative research on influenza prevention and control strategies of various countries. At the same time, it is also hoped that the global response level to the dual pandemic of influenza and the COVID-19 will be improved, and the public and professional institutions will be further aware of the harm of influenza and its prevention and control through this conference.

On September 17-18, the 2022 World Influenza Conference will be held in Guangzhou, China, experts and representatives from all over the world will participate in this conference to discuss the world's most advanced influenza prevention and control strategies. We sincerely invite relevant units who are keen on influenza prevention and control work to participate in and support this event.
