摘要：

In winter 2018, schools in Hong Kong were closed 1 week before the scheduled Chinese New Year holiday to mitigate an influenza B virus epidemic. The intervention occurred after the epidemic peak and reduced overall incidence by approximate to 4.2%. School-based vaccination programs should be implemented to more effectively reduce influenza illnesses.
