    Document: Seasonal influenza virus infections are responsible for an estimated 291,243-645,832 respiratory deaths globally every year [1] . Influenza infections have been described in Zambia [2] since the 1990s, but because of limited laboratory diagnostic capacity prior to 2008 [3] , little was known about the contribution of influenza viruses to the respiratory disease burden, rendering difficult public health planning for the prevention and control of influenza-associated illness.
