The effects of pharmaceutical intervention (vaccination program, A) and non-pharmaceutical intervention (using facemasks plus hand hygiene, B) on the summer epidemics of influenza A(H3N2) in 2013/2014 (Left), 2014/2015 (Middle) and 2016/2017 (Right). The triangles and circles in the top panel represent the influenza coverage in China (9.4% [19]) and United States (43.8% [20]), respectively; while the color represents the average (black, 29%) and season-specified vaccine effectiveness (blue,0.09 for 2014/2015 [16], 0.54 for 2015/2016 [17] and 0.22 for 2017/2018 [18]). The triangles and circles in the bottom panel show the percentage of the population using facemasks plus hand hygiene in the non-pandemic period (39% [22]) and pandemic period (84% [23]), respectively. The color in the triangles or circles represents the low (13%, black), middle (23%, blue), and high (87.0%, red) effectiveness of using facemasks plus hand hygiene to prevent influenza A(H3N2) [21], respectively.
