The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at Department of Health and Human Services is seeking applications for a program entitled “Household transmission of influenza and other respiratory viruses in the community” to enroll households with confirmed influenza and follow household contacts for up to two weeks to estimate the secondary infection risk and factors associated with risk of infection.
