If you have already returned the written consent form and have agreed to full participation in the study, we will send you a questionnaire around your baby’s due date and again when your baby is about 6 months old. If you do not receive either of these questionnaires please contact us on 0191 2606197

Your participation in this study is highly valued. Early results of the information collected up until March 2010 have now been written up in a medical journal and used to help plan how best to care for pregnant women during future influenza pandemics.

The final study findings will be available towards the middle of 2011. As you will be aware, we are only able to collect the final information on you and your baby if you have signed and returned the written Participant - consent form. We are keen to follow up as many women as possible as this improves the accuracy of our findings. Please complete and return this form to us if you are still interested in participating.

Best wishes
