Pandemics - Public Health Research Guide

Influenza poses one of the world’s greatest infectious disease challenges. CDC programs use scientific expertise and resources to protect the United States from the continuing threat posed by seasonal influenza and pandemic influenza.

The network combines epidemiological and virological surveillance of influenza to provide decision makers and public health experts in EU/EEA Member States with the information required to better assess influenza activity in Europe and take appropriate action.

NIAID conducts and supports research to find new and improved ways to diagnose, treat, and prevent flu. This includes research and clinical trials of candidate vaccines that can provide long-lasting protection against both seasonal flu viruses and those with pandemic potential.
