While we are experiencing a second wave of COVID-19 in the United Kingdom, preparations have begun to protect our patients from seasonal influenza. In this podcast Dr George Kassianos CBE - the National Immunisation Lead for the RCGP - addresses co-infection, immunosenescence, symptoms of COVID-19 vs flu and the experience of the Southern Hemisphere over the last few months. Dr Kassianos is being interviewed by Dr Dirk Pilat, the RCGP’s director for eLearning. 

The podcast was funded by an educational grant from Seqirus to cover education on influenza and the role of vaccines as a prevention. Seqirus has not had any input in the content or been part of any reviews thereof. Editorial and content decisions were made solely by the RCGP.
