Abstract

The World Health Organisation identifies pandemic influenza as one of ten top threats to human health in 2019. Australia has invested extensively in preparedness planning, but gaps remain. We do not presently have finalised study protocols to collect evidence from early identified cases and household contacts in a pandemic, information needed to inform targeted public health responses. We will work across governments and settings to test and advise on these study protocols for all Australians.
