While year‐round circulation of influenza viruses occurs, prevention and control strategies should be focused upon the seasonal peak during rainy season months. Ongoing virologic surveillance and influenza disease burden studies in Indonesia are important priorities to better understand the public health impact of influenza in South‐East Asia and the implications of influenza viral evolution and global spread.</p> </abstract> … (more)
