Surveillance for influenza is essential for the selection of influenza vaccine components and detection of human infections with novel influenza A viruses that may signal the start of a pandemic. Virologic surveillance provides the foundation from which this information can be obtained. However, morbidity and mortality data are needed to better understand the burden of disease, which, in turn, can provide useful information for policy makers relevant to the allocation of resources for prevention and control efforts. Data on the impact of influenza can be used to identify groups at increased risk for severe influenza-related complications, develop prevention and control policies, and monitor the effect of these policies. Influenza surveillance systems frequently monitor outpatient illness, hospitalizations, and deaths, but selection of influenza surveillance components should be based on the surveillance goals and objectives of the jurisdiction.
流感监测对于流感疫苗成分的选择以及检测可能预示大流行开始的新型甲型流感病毒的人类感染至关重要。病毒学监测为获取此类信息奠定了基础。然而,需要发病率和死亡率数据来更好地了解疾病负担,进而为政策制定者提供与预防和控制工作资源分配相关的有用信息。流感影响的数据可用于识别发生严重流感相关并发症风险增加的人群、制定预防和控制政策以及监测这些政策的效果。流感监测系统经常监测门诊疾病、住院情况和死亡情况,但流感监测组成部分的选择应基于辖区的监测目标。
