Help track respiratory illness in your community!

 

It takes less than 30 seconds each week to help track flu and COVID-19 in your local area. 

FluTracking is a simple email survey system that harnesses the power of the internet and community spirit for monitoring influenza and COVID-19.

By taking part, you’ll not only be contributing to scientific research, but you'll also be helping to track influenza and COVID-19 in your local community and nation-wide. 

Over the 17 years the survey has been running in Australia, and now 5 years in Aotearoa New Zealand, it's grown to have 110,000 participants every week who have collectively completed over 23.2 million surveys!

The main aims of FluTracking are to develop a system that can provide:

  • community level influenza-like and COVID-like illness surveillance
  • consistent monitoring of influenza and COVID-19 activity across all regions and over time, and
  • year-to-year comparison of the timing, attack rates, and seriousness of COVID-19 and influenza in the community.


Whether you're vaccinated or not, FluTracking needs you, especially families of young children in Aotearoa, who'd be willing to help track flu and COVID-19.

You'll get a weekly report so you'll be up-to-date with any flu and COVID in your area.
