The World Health Organization strongly recommends that all countries prepare in advance multidisciplinary pandemic plans to prevent and control the next influenza pandemic.
Research
We carried out a survey of influenza surveillance methods among members of the European Influenza Surveillance Schemes, EISS, which included a set of questions on pandemic planning.
Results
All but one of the countries have a pandemic plan or are in the process of producing one. A coordination of these different national plans at a European level would probably contribute to their improved impact and efficiency.
