Priorities for Pandemic Planning

Surveillance	Wild birds, human-avian interface, human to human transmission
Research	Virulence determinants, capacity to reassort with human strains, requirements for transmission, interactions with the immune system
Stockpiling antivirals	Capacity for early intervention before vaccine available
Pandemic vaccines	Pre- and post-pandemic vaccine strategies
Non-pharmaceutical interventions	Utility of hand hygiene, masks, social distancing strategies, and community based interventions
