• Abstract: Influenza and COVID-19 are highly transmissible respiratory diseases that, despite differences in severity and impact, share modes of transmission and public health challenges. While influenza has predictable seasonal patterns and is partially controlled by vaccination programs, COVID-19 has exposed gaps in global pandemic preparedness, with high rates of transmissibility and severe complications. Both diseases place significant strains on health systems, highlighting the importance of effective strategies for diagnosis and clinical management. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed and intensified social and economic inequalities, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations and exacerbating existing challenges in access to health care. These interactions reinforce the need for integrated epidemiological surveillance and more resilient health systems to face future health crises.
