How do decreased vaccination rates and increased social interaction contribute to the anticipated surge in viral infections?

Simultaneous increases in four viruses are anticipated due to decreased immunity from lower vaccination rates and increased social mixing during colder months. The convergence of these viruses could overwhelm healthcare systems, as evidenced by rising hospital admissions for flu-like illnesses (up 14% to 3.3% of admissions) and RSV hospitalizations more than doubling in November. This situation is further complicated by the lower-than-usual uptake of flu and COVID-19 booster shots.
