The State of Texas relies on health care providers’
feedback which is critical for monitoring the impact of
influenza, prevention, vaccine strain selection and patient
care.
With the increased threat of pandemic influenza, the need for surveillance has
never been more vital.
There are 143 providers enrolled in the network - 10 were previous providers.
