aSince some women had delivery dates during the surveillance period, women differ in the number of eligible surveillance weeks; we report the percentage of eligible surveillance weeks when at least one surveillance report was completed

bp-value is from Chi-square test of difference between groups in percentage completing at least one surveillance

cp-value is from Student’s t-test or F-ratio comparing the mean percentage of weeks when surveillance was completed between groups

dWomen’s age and age of fetus were calculated using a common reference date, which was the start of the influenza season at each study site; gestational age is reported in quartiles
