This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

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.
