热带地区流感的季节性使疫苗接种时间复杂化。我们调查了印度北方的流感季节性，发现流感阳性率在1月至3月在斯利那加（北纬34.09度）达到峰值，但在7月至9月在新德里（北纬28.66度）达到峰值。斯利那加应考虑在11月至11月接种流感疫苗，但新德里应在5月至6月接种疫苗。
The seasonality of influenza in the tropics complicates vaccination timing. We investigated influenza seasonality in northern India and found influenza positivity peaked in Srinagar (34.09 degrees N) in January-March but peaked in New Delhi (28.66 degrees N) in July-September. Srinagar should consider influenza vaccination in October-November, but New Delhi should vaccinate in May-June.
