Influenza Surveillance
at IRID
Immunization and Respiratory Infections Division
Centre for Infectious Disease Prevention & Control
Public Health Agency of Canada
Impact of Influenza
In Canada:
• 10-25% of population affected yearly (higher
infection rates in children and elderly)
• 70-75,000 hospitalizations
• 6-7,000 deaths due to pneumonia and influenza
• 500-1,500 deaths due to influenza
Canada’s National Influenza
Surveillance Program
Primary Objectives :
1) Early detection and monitoring of influenza outbreaks
2) Provide timely and up-to-date reporting of influenza activity in
Canada and abroad to professionals & public
3) Monitor circulating strains of influenza virus, including new subtypes
4) Contribute to the information for vaccine composition for following
season

Uses of Surveillance Data
• estimating disease impact
– influenza-like illness clinic visits
– influenza and pneumonia
hospitalizations and deaths
– all cause mortality
– other health and economic impacts
• monitoring viral evolution
– identification of predominant strains
– detection of new strains/subtypes

• CNPHI is a secure internet-based suite of applications
and resources.
• It is primarily directed towards strategic public health
information and intelligence sharing.
• Included applications:
– Atlantic Canada FluWatch Application
– Canadian Integrated Outbreak Surveillance Centre

• Goal: To enhance public health’s capacity to
anticipate and detect health risks
associated with communicable disease
threats.
Severe Respiratory Illness (SRI) Surveillance
SRI Alerts: An SRI alert is an operational
definition used to ensure that individuals
meeting specific criteria are identified in a
systematic way to allow for implementation
of appropriate infection control and public
health measures until SARS or other
emerging respiratory pathogen has been
ruled out as a cause of the illness
SRI Alerts
 An SRI alert is sent under the following
situations:
• An individual is hospitalized with an SRI and has a
potential epidemiologic link to a source of emerging
respiratory pathogen
• Clusters of SRI are identified within a health care unit
• An individual has been identified with laboratory
evidence of a SARS-CoV infection (or other emerging
respiratory infection)
• An individual has been identified with a laboratory
confirmed influenza A/ H5N1 or other novel influenza
virus infection
