What Is FluTracking?

FluTracking is an online health surveillance system to detect epidemics 
of influenza. 

We are looking for people who live in Australia and have easy access to 
email on a weekly basis. It doesn't matter if you are vaccinated or 
unvaccinated.

It takes only 10 - 15 seconds per week to respond to an email about the 
symptoms you or your household members have had in the previous week. 

This will help us find ways to detect both seasonal influenza and 
hopefully pandemic influenza and other diseases so we can better protect 
the community from epidemics.

You will receive weekly information on influenza-like activity in the 
region based on our analysis of the data. Participation is voluntary and 
your information will be kept confidential.

About FluTracking:

Welcome to FluTracking.net, the project which harnesses the power of the 
internet for tracking influenza. By taking part, you'll not only be 
contributing to scientific research, you will be helping to track 
influenza in your local community and Australia-wide. 

Over the 6 years the survey has been running we have grown to over 10,000 
participants per week who have collectively completed 875,500 surveys, 
and have had 117 years off work due to influenza-like illness!

A simple online survey that takes less than 15 seconds each week during 
flu season can tell us so much.
