UK Flu Surveillance
-
Now that swine flu is on the way down, we want to know what will happen to seasonal flu this winter. Will it make a late appearance, or has swine flu seen it off? Take part in the UK flu survey and help us find out. Click here for the latest swine flu news stories, or read our swine flu review of 2009 UK Flu Survey The figure below shows the latest reports from the UK flu survey of flu-like illness and other respiratory illness (some of which may be flu). Cases increased gradually once schools reopened for the autumn term, but have been declining since early-November and are now at a very low level. The locations of recent participants in the UK Flu survey are shown in the map below - click on the image to view an interactive map.
| Those with symptoms consistent with influenza are shown in red, those with respiratory symptoms (probably not flu) are shown in blue, and those without respiratory symptoms are shown in green. Because users only record the first half of their postcode, the points on the map do not indicate user's households. |
The UK flu survey has been developed in collaboration with researchers from around Europe as part of the Epiwork project.
