• Description:
  In 2011, the Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL) conducted the Right Size Influenza Virologic Surveillance Survey to collect data to characterize the current landscape of influenza virologic surveillance and testing practices and policies in state and local public health laboratories (PHLs). The survey was distributed to 52 state and territorial public health laboratories (SPHLs), including the District of Columbia, and 34 local public health laboratories (LPHLs) that are known to perform influenza testing. Forty-six SPHLs (92%) and 23 LPHLs (68%) completed the survey. The data from the survey highlight the extensive role that PHLs, both state and local, play in influenza virologic testing and national influenza surveillance.
