Influenza is notable for its health and economic impact.1,2 It occurs in two epidemiological forms; epidemics and pandemics. Annual epidemics of seasonal influenza result in 3–5 million cases of severe illness and between 250 000 and 500 000 deaths worldwide.3 The economic impact includes direct costs (medicines, hospitalization), indirect costs (absenteeism and hampered productivity) and intangible costs of suffering (pain and reduced quality of life).4 Influenza pandemics are infrequent compared with seasonal influenza, but they are widely feared public health emergencies because they entail serious social disruption and substantial economic cost.5 Influenza pandemics are characterized by severe illness and high mortality, and cases typically affect not only high-risk groups but also others in the population, including young healthy adults, who are less vulnerable to seasonal influenza
