专家周六警告称，香港流感病例正在增加，尤其是儿童和老年人。香港大学医学院传染病学讲座教授孔繁毅表示，疫苗免疫力减弱是导致病例上升的原因之一，并敦促高危人群尽快接种疫苗。
香港大学医学院传染病学讲座教授孔繁毅警告称，由于疫苗保护效力减弱导致群体免疫水平下降，香港的流感病例正在上升，特别是在儿童和老年人群体中。他在周六发表了上述言论，并敦促尚未接种季节性流感疫苗的高危人群尽快完成接种。此前一天，卫生部门报告称，一名患有慢性疾病的17岁少年因感染乙型流感引发重症肺炎及休克，目前该名未接种疫苗的少年情况危急。孔繁毅在接受电台节目采访时表示，流感感染病例自今年1月以来出现反弹。他指出，玛丽医院收治的老年人和儿童中，甲型和乙型流感病例均呈上升趋势，但目前断定是否进入新一波高峰仍为时尚早。孔繁毅将这一升幅归因于免疫力下降，并指出季节性流感疫苗接种计划已开展了约半年时间。
