 | Description: Successful containment or control of pandemic influenza will rely on early recognition of sustained human-to-human transmission which requires a system for outbreak detection, rapid data collection, analysis, assessment and timely reporting. Early detection of the start of a pandemic is crucial to rapidly implement measures to stop the pandemic at its source and to prevent millions of deaths, social disruption and economic loss. As part of national pandemic preparedness planning each country should prepare for enhanced surveillance to (i) detect the emergence of the new disease, (ii) characterize the disease (epidemiology, clinical manifestations, severity) and (iii) monitor its evolution. |

 | Pages: 32; Description: The aim of this report is to provide a methodological framework that will enable the collection and analysis of primary data to measure the impacts of highly pathogenic avian influenza on assets, livelihood strategies and the various indicators of rural livelihoods. Abstract: This report provides frameworks for research on the impacts of the highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreaks and threats on rural livelihoods, specifically to measure the rural households’ vulnerability to this livestock disease and its associated repercussions (e.g., food and nutrition insecurity and deepened gender inequality). |

 | Pages: 47; Description: This study was undertaken between April and September of 2008 to further define the details of the stockpile logistics and financing and was conducted as a collaboration between the World Health Organization, the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation, and Oliver Wyman. Abstract: The report defines options for the logistical design of the H5N1 vaccine stockpile and associated tradeoffs and develops potential strategies and mechanisms to finance the stockpile. This included an assessment of the key drivers of cost and design of mechanisms to manage the costs and mitigate uncertainties. |

 | Pages: 33; Description: This guideline provides a protocol for measuring pandemic influenza vaccine effectiveness in the target groups including in those 65 years old and above. Abstract: The protocol is designed for countries in the European Union and for those in the European Economic Area, where there are two protocols for case control studies to assess vaccine effectiveness. The protocol may be a model for other countries considering undertaking vaccine effectiveness assessments. |
|
 | Pages: 21; Description: This guideline provides mechanisms to estimate the relative risk (RR) of defined outcome(s) in vaccinated versus unvaccinated individuals of a defined target group for pandemic and seasonal influenza vaccine effectiveness. Abstract: This is a generic outline protocol that needs to be adapted to country-specific priorities and needs. The generic protocol includes the minimum requirements to be included in the cohort study protocols for seasonal and pandemic influenza. It represents the state of knowledge about the pandemic in August 2009. |
