All participants or parents/guardians for children (<18 years of age) signed informed consent. Children aged 7 to 17 years signed an assent form. The SARI and ILI protocols were approved by the University of the Witwatersrand Human Research Ethics Committee (M081042 and M120133 respectively) and the University of KwaZulu-Natal Human Biomedical Research Ethics Committee (BF157/08 and respectively). This surveillance was deemed non-research by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (non-research determination number: 2012-6197).
