SHIVERS - 9 objectives 1. Understand severe respiratory diseases
2. Assess influenza vaccine effectiveness
3. Investigate interaction between influenza & other pathogens
4. Understand causes of respiratory mortality
5. Understand non-severe respiratory diseases
6. Estimate influenza infection via serosurvey
7. Identify & quantify risk factors for getting influenza
8. Assess immune response against influenza
9. Estimate influenza related economic burden and vaccine cost-effectiveness
1. Disease burden & epidemiology
• 2012: SARI-Severe influenza
• 2013: ILI-Moderate influenza requiring GP consultation
• 2015: Serosurvey
Mild influenza not requiring GP consultation

• World Health Assembly Resolution 64.1
• Aim of PISA: support national, regional and global risk assessment to inform pandemic response decisions
• Virus transmission, seriousness of disease and impact on the healthcare system
• SHIVERS: contributing to WHO-led pilot on Pandemic Influenza Severity assessment

• 26% of population flu infected
• Of infected:
- 80% asymptomatic
- 20% symptomatic
• Of those symptomatic infections:
- 77% did not seek care
- 23% visited a GP

• A case test negative control design: estimate VE
• SHIVERS VE data: contributed to WHO/AIVC process for vaccine strain selection for Southern Hemisphere
• Southern Hemisphere countries: VE provided by NZ & Australia

Conclusion • SHIVERS platform– national infrastructure for seasonal influenza control
and pandemic preparedness and other emerging and endemic respiratory pathogens: burden, severity, VE, risk factors, etiology, immunology, clinical outcomes
• Impact of SHIVERS on vaccination policy: Free influenza vaccine is offered to young children with respiratory illness
• Impact of SHIVERS on improving disease surveillance: SHIVERS data contributed to finalize WHO SARI case definition
• SHIVERS results – value in WHO-led severity assessment
• SHIVERS VE study – value in vaccine strain selection
• Disease burden estimate for respiratory viruses– value in guiding vaccine development and vaccination strategies and better prediction
