SUMMARY:The flu outbreak: What you need to know
DESCRIPTION: \nTuesday\, February 13\, 2018 \nNoon-1pm ET \nMore than a half million deaths each year around the world result from flu-related respiratory illnesses. This year\, flu has grabbed particular headlines\, driven by an early start to flu season and the dominance of a particularly severe flu strain\, H3N2. The flu is most dangerous to people with underlying health problems\, as well as individuals over age 65 and young children. However\, each year flu cases involving young\, otherwise apparently healthy people raise flags. In this Forum\, experts in epidemiology\, immunology\, and health policy will place this year’s flu season in context. They will explore vaccine development\, prevention and treatment and address growing concerns globally as this particularly virulent outbreak gains the potential to spread further — ultimately asking is there a better way to stop the flu? \nEXPERT PARTICIPANTS \n\n\nAlfred DeMaria\, Medical Director for the Bureau of Infectious Disease of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health \n\n\nYonatan Grad\, Assistant Professor in the Department of Immunology and Infectious Diseases\, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health\, and an attending physician in the Division of Infectious Diseases\, Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School \n\n\nMarc Lipsitch\, Professor of Epidemiology and Director\, Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics\, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health \n\n\nTim Uyeki\, Chief Medical Officer\, Influenza Division\, National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases\, CDC \n\n\nModerator: Peter Thomson\, Livable Planet Editor\, PRI’s The World \n\n\nSend our panelists questions in advance to theforum@hsph.harvard.edu The Forum will accommodate as many questions as we can during a limited Q&A. \nWe’ll be conducting a live chat on The Forum’s Flu Outbreak website. \nWatch the live webcast at ForumHSPH.org \nWe also will stream live on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Forumhsph \nYou do not need to register to watch Forum webcasts online.
