The target is met if the state public health laboratory submits reports to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) listing influenza virus susceptibility to antivirals.
Why is this important?
Once an individual has contracted influenza, antiviral medication is the only available prescribed treatment. Antiviral treatment is especially important to enhance recovery amongst individuals with weakened immune systems. However, influenza viruses naturally undergo many genetic changes as they spread and can become resistant to these antiviral drugs. Monitoring for viruses resistant to antivirals is an essential step in informing health care professionals about the efficacy of pharmaceutical intervention with their patients, and to ensure that the state is well-prepared to intervene and control influenza outbreaks. Testing influenza virus strains for antiviral resistance is an important component of public health preparedness and harm reduction.
