ABSTRACT
The overlapping 2020-2021 influenza season and COVID-19 pandemic may overwhelm hospitals throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Using a mathematical model, we project that COVID-19 burden will dwarf that of influenza. If non-pharmacological mitigation efforts fail, increasing influenza vaccination coverage by 30% points would avert 54 hospitalizations per 100,000 people.
