Abstract: This pocket book is for use by doctors, senior nurses and other senior health workers who are responsible for the care of young children at the first referral level in developing countries. It presents up-to-date clinical guidelines which are based on a review of the available published evidence by subject experts, for both inpatient and outpatient care in small hospitals where basic laboratory facilities and essential drugs and inexpensive medicines are available. In some settings, these guidelines can be used in the larger health centres where a small number of sick children can be admitted for inpatient care. |

 | Pages: 52; Description: The guideline describes the steps to directly and indirectly measure
influenza disease burden. Abstract: The guideline provides information on how to conduct epidemiological studies
on influenza disease burden and to evaluate the clinical and economic burden of
disease in countries where there is little recognition of influenza and no
control policies are in place. |
|
 | Pages: 40; Description: The guideline describes the steps needed to maximize the information for
action arising from virological and epidemiological influenza surveillance. Abstract: Improvements in national surveillance systems that facilitate the collection
and analysis of both virological and epidemiological data are essential, in
order to provide a more complete understanding of the burden of influenza. Such
improvements also have the added benefit of increasing pandemic preparedness.
This guideline is designed to assist the Ministry of Health staff responsible
for establishing, operating and improving national influenza surveillance
systems. |

 | Description: This training package has 2 portions. The first part is for hospital-based surveillance of signal events and the second part refers to the response of healthcare facilities once such an event is detected. We are not exactly sure where in your current categories would be the best place to locate it, especially since there is no surveillance section. Since it refers to health facilities preparation, maybe it could be included under pandemic preparedness? |

 | 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. |
