Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

The current pandemic risk is influenced by several factors: a slight increase in COVID-19 levels in certain US regions, ongoing H5N1 avian flu cases in Cambodia and the US, and a notable rise in mistrust towards public health agencies, which could hinder effective pandemic response and vaccine uptake. While COVID-19 vaccines remain effective, particularly for vulnerable groups like cancer patients, low uptake and misinformation continue to pose challenges. Additionally, the emergence of new COVID-19 variants and surveillance gaps in pathogen tracking contribute to the moderate risk level.
