1. Health Department spokesman Michael Lanza:

   We are still very early into this influenza season and it’s too early to make any predictions on severity.

2. Michael Irwin:

   How we stimulate the immune system is the same whether we’re using an mRNA vaccine for Covid-19, or an influenza, hepatitis, typhoid or pneumococcal vaccine, it’s a prototypical antibody or vaccine response, and that’s why we believe we can generalize to Covid.

3. Mick Bailey:

4. Christina Johns:

   We are starting to see a slow and steady trickle of an increase of cases. And why is that ? Well, because this is the time of year when we typically start to see influenza begin to circulate, but why aren't we seeing the explosive uptick ? One reason is that school-aged children are still largely masked in many school districts, and so I think that that helps to keep numbers down. The overall layered protective measures that are still in place in many areas are effective for both Covid as well as influenza.
