Summary
The Australian Health Management Plan for Pandemic Influenza is based on data from past and current influenza. A newly-emerged influenza strain is likely to differ in some respects. This project will develop practical ways to adapt the management plan to the emerged virus from early pandemic data. It will determine the data needed to do this efficiently, to ensure that Australia receives the greatest benefit from its antiviral drugs, vaccines and other public health interventions introduced.
