As the weather gets colder, the seasonal influenza activity is expected to increase further in the coming weeks while the activity of other respiratory infectious diseases may also increase. All sectors of the community should heighten their vigilance and enhance personal protection measures against influenza, including receiving a vaccination to protect their health and that of their family members.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As Hong Kong enters the influenza season, the number of influenza-like illness (ILI) outbreaks is expected to continue to increase and there may be relatively more outbreaks in schools. Based on previous surveillance data, virus activity will continue to increase for a period of time after the start of the influenza season before peaking. Members of the public who have not yet received seasonal influenza vaccination (SIV), particularly the elderly and children who have higher risk to get infected with influenza and other complications, should receive SIV immediately to lower the risk of serious complications and death.<\/p>\n<p>As 168\u00a0<a title=\"https:\/\/www.chp.gov.hk\/files\/pdf\/202425_not_arranging_school_list.pdf\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chp.gov.hk\/files\/pdf\/202425_not_arranging_school_list.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"0\"><u>schools<\/u><\/a>\u00a0still refused to arrange SIV outreach activities for students, and another 13\u00a0<a title=\"https:\/\/www.chp.gov.hk\/files\/pdf\/202425_pending_school_list.pdf\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chp.gov.hk\/files\/pdf\/202425_pending_school_list.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"1\"><u>schools<\/u><\/a>\u00a0which have agreed to arrange SIV outreach activities have not yet provided a confirmed date for vaccinations, the CHP has listed these schools on its website.
