季节性流感每年影响世界人口的5%-15%，被认为是旅行者中第二常见的疫苗可预防感染。尽管世界各地的旅行量在增加，但国际旅行的流感疫苗接种指南很少。在一些国家建议的基础上，流感疫苗应根据宿主标准用于通常的危险群体，如老年(50-65岁)或年轻(6-23个月)以及合并疾病的人群。此外，还必须考虑环境和行为因素。在游轮上和群众集会期间记录了与高传播率的密切接触。在流感高峰期前往对侧半球的旅行者可能需要保护。那些访问热带的人全年都处于中等感染和疾病的风险中。其中包括有关禽流感的现有旅行者建议的摘要。
Seasonal influenza affects 5-15% of the world's population annually and is considered to be the second most frequent vaccine-preventable infection in travelers. Despite increasing travel volume worldwide, guidelines on influenza vaccination for international travel are scarce. On the basis of some national recommendations, influenza vaccine should be used based on host criteria to usual risk groups, such as old (> 50-65 years) or young (6-23 months) age and those with comorbidities. Additionally, environmental and behavioral factors must be considered. Close contact with high transmission has been documented in cruise ships and during mass gatherings. Travelers crossing to the opposite hemisphere in influenza-peak season may need protection. Those visiting the tropics are at moderate risk of infection and illness during the entire year. A summary on existing traveler recommendations relating to avian influenza is included.
