Surveillance Update


Excerpt:
As part of CDC's Farmworker Enhanced Surveillance Program (FWESP), CDC is working with pharmacy networks eTrueNorth and Walgreens on a pilot program to provide free testing of symptomatic persons in California and one other state initially that have confirmed H5N1 bird flu infections in people, poultry, or livestock. The program aims to increase testing for seasonal flu and triage for H5 testing if needed, raise awareness about the symptoms and risk factors for infection with H5N1 bird flu among higher-risk populations, and determine whether certain rapid point-of-care (POC) tests identify influenza A-positive specimens when farm or dairy workers are infected with H5N1 bird flu.
