Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

The current pandemic risk is influenced by a combination of factors: a slight increase in COVID-19 cases in specific regions, ongoing challenges with vaccine uptake among vulnerable populations, and the emergence of new infectious diseases such as H5N1 avian flu and MERS. Despite advancements in surveillance tools and vaccine approvals, public health systems face hurdles from misinformation and mistrust, which could hinder effective responses.
