The Season Ahead: Forecasting respiratory health risks and operational impacts

Respiratory Season 2026 Webinar (1600 x 900 px)

As the Northern Hemisphere heads into fall, attention turns to what the upcoming respiratory illness season may bring — and with it, the operational risks that come from workforce absenteeism, travel disruption, and strain on health resources. Understanding what’s coming, and how early, gives risk and preparedness teams a critical head start.

In this webinar, we look south for clues about what’s ahead: reviewing how the Southern Hemisphere’s influenza and RSV season unfolded, and what its timing and severity may signal for the fall and winter to come. We’ll also cover the latest developments on COVID-19 and the therapeutics landscape, giving planners across industries where seasonal illness affects people and operations a clear, evidence-based picture heading into the fall.

Josephine De Leon, MMASc, Manager of Applied Epidemiology, hosts Dr. Andrea Thomas, Head of Epidemiology, and Anindita Marwah, Senior Epidemiologist, for a data-driven look at the season ahead and what it means for organizational readiness.

Key topics covered will include:

  • A recap of the Southern Hemisphere’s influenza and RSV season — timing, magnitude, and what it may forecast for the north.
  • Early signals of influenza activity already emerging across the Northern Hemisphere.
  • A global COVID-19 update, including the latest on circulating variants.
  • A practical overview of the therapeutics landscape heading into fall.

Join us to get ahead of the season with the insights your organization needs to plan, prepare, and respond.
