Sentinel doctors

Sentinel doctors are family doctors and paediatricians, who choose to be part of the RespiVirNet surveillance network. This network keeps an eye on disease trends, by collecting and sending data on acute respiratory infections and biological samples to the public health authorities such as the National Institute of Health (ISS). 
Their work helps to measure how far the seasonal flu and other respiratory infections spread, and how bad they are, providing useful info for updating flu vaccines each year and for planning public health strategies better.
