“…Flu Watch is a previously described, household‐based, community cohort study of acute respiratory disease and influenza infection in England . In brief, the study followed up cohorts during 6 influenza seasons including 3 periods of seasonal influenza (winters 2006‐2007, 2007‐2008 and 2008‐2009) and the first 3 waves of the 2009 influenza pandemic (summer 2009, autumn‐winter 2009/2010 and winter 2010/2011).…”

“…This network monitors the influenza strains circulating in human populations, speeding up vaccine development and stockpiling, and acts as a warning system to inform other preparedness activities. Meanwhile, federal and regional health agencies scaled up surveillance practices [83,84]. However, most surveillance is based solely upon patients who seek medical care, thereby excluding asymptomatic or self-limiting infections, underestimating the burden of influenza, and missing important routes of disease transmission [83].…”

However, most surveillance is based solely upon patients who seek medical care, thereby excluding asymptomatic or self-limiting infections, underestimating the burden of influenza, and missing important routes of disease transmission [83]. Moreover, parallel expansion of federal and regional health agencies was not accompanied by stringent protocols to facilitate inter-agency cooperation.…”

“…The full study design and methodology has been described previously 13 . Follow-up occurred across three consecutive winter seasons (Nov-Mar 2006-2007, 2007-2008, 2008-2009, the summer and winter waves of the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic (May-Sep 2009, Oct-Feb 2009-2010) and 'post-pandemic' winter season (Nov-Mar 2010-2011).…”
