香港卫生当局呼吁居民接种最新季节性流感疫苗，以应对潜在的冬季流感浪潮，城市气温降至本季最低。卫生防护中心的呼吁与一位传染病专家对社区低疫苗接种率的担忧相呼应。最近数据显示，夏季流感季节正在结束。
香港卫生当局于周六呼吁公众接种最新季节性流感疫苗，以应对即将到来的流感病毒浪潮，当时城市气温降至本冬最低。卫生防护中心（CHP）的呼吁与一位传染病专家的类似呼吁相吻合，该专家对人口中低疫苗接种率表示担忧。
周六上午，位于尖沙咀的香港天文台记录气温低至11.4摄氏度（52.5华氏度）。尽管气温下降，但数据显示当前的夏季流感季节似乎正在结束。根据中心的数据，上周（12月21日至27日）公立医院流感相关病例的整体入院率为每万人0.28例，低于基线水平0.27例每万人。
这一数字较前两周的0.37和0.49有所下降，表明夏季流感活动正在减弱。专家警告，随着冬季临近和气温进一步降低，流感病例可能反弹。关键词包括香港天文台、H3N2流感病毒、冬季流感季节，以及香港大学教授Ivan Hung Fan-ngai的提及，尽管具体引述未在可用数据中详细说明。世界卫生组织也与季节性流感相关。
