National Flu Survey

Help us track flu in the UK
Every winter, coughs, colds and flu sweep across the country. We know this keeps you busy during this time. Many people follow advice and manage their illnesses at home but how many people are affected like this is often an unclear picture.
FluSurvey is here to change that. It’s a national system run by UKHSA which tracks flu-like symptoms and other respiratory illnesses by collecting weekly updates from people at home. All you need to do is register once, then each week during flu season tell us how you’re feeling. It takes less than a minute.
We’ll also keep you posted with the latest data on what’s happening with Flu, RSV and COVID-19.
The more people who take part, the clearer the picture becomes. Sign up today at https://flusurvey.net/et/vacc25
