WHO Global Influenza Programme

https://www.who.int/teams/global-influenza-programme

The Global Influenza Program (GIP) from the World Health Organisation (WHO) is providing its member states with strategic guidance eg. surveillance, monitoring and technical support. The GIP program collects and analyzes virological and epidemiological data from the member states which will allow WHO to monitor trends in influenza. WHO also supports selection of influenza strains for seasonal vaccines. The GIP is also working to support the members states with pandemic preparedness efforts such as seasonal, zoonotic, and pandemic influenza threats.

Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data (GISAID)

https://www.gisaid.org/

GISAID is an international data sharing platform. GISAID started only sharing genomic data for influenza. Today it also holds a large number of SARS-CoV-2 and MPox sequences. GISAID includes sequences, as well as associated metadata eg. date and location of isolation. In order to use the data, the platform requires registration before download.
