Assessment of baseline age-specific antibody prevalence and incidence of infection to novel influenza A/H1N1 2009.
The objectives of the H1N1 2009 serological surveillance project were twofold: to document (1) the prevalence of cross-reactive antibodies to H1N1 2009 by age group in the population of England prior to arrival of the pandemic strain virus in the UK and (2) the age-specific incidence of infection by month as the pandemic progressed by measuring increases in the proportion of individuals with antibodies to H1N1 2009 by age. ⋯ The National Institute for Health Research Health Technology Assessment programme and the Health Protection Agency.
