Countries are listed in descending order by overall completeness.

aOutcomes: total specimens processed (Test), total positives (Pos), influenza A positives (Flu A), influenza B positives (Flu B), and total specimens collected (Spec.). For tests, total positives, influenza A and B positives, average completeness was calculated from 2005 to 2019. Subtypes of influenza positives: A(H1N1)pdm09 (A(H1N1))). For A(H1N1)pdm09 and specimens collected, average completeness was calculated from 2008 to 2019. Overall provides the average completeness across all 14 influenza variables while All Countries provides the average completeness for each variable across all 29 countries.

bReported values are the average of each indicator from 2005 to 2019. Units: GNIPC and DHEPC are provided in 1000 s USD. OOPHE% is reported as a percentage of current governmental health expenditure.
