  • The Tool for Influenza Pandemic Risk Assessment (TIPRA) is used to assess the pandemic risk of influenza viruses with pandemic potential.
  • The launch of TIPRA 2nd edition was in April 2020. The scope and calculation process of an overall risk in TIPRA 2nd edition have diverged from TIPRA 1st edition.
  • First, the 1st edition was designed for use on a novel influenza virus which has caused at least one human infection.
  • The 2nd edition enables risk assessment of animal influenza viruses that have not caused human infection but are still of public health importance.
