WHO Influenza Network

The WHO Influenza Network is a global system where scientists and health organizations share data on flu viruses circulating around the world. This collaboration helps track changes in the influenza virus, monitor outbreaks, and identify new strains early. By doing so, the WHO can recommend appropriate vaccines each year and prepare responses to potential pandemics. The network includes laboratories and health agencies that analyze virus samples, ensuring worldwide surveillance and timely information, ultimately helping to protect public health and reduce the impact of flu seasons.
