Explore seasonal influenza burden in your country
- Age groups you want to analyze
- Influenza seasons (years) you want to estimate
- Number of hospitalizations and/or deaths by age group per season
The Seasonal Influenza Disease Burden Estimator (Flu Tool) aims to help countries and public health officials and other decision makers better understand their seasonal influenza burden in their country, even when if their national surveillance data are limited.
Using a multiplier-based approach, the tool estimates the number of influenza cases, hospitalizations, and deaths by season, including for individual age groups, across a country’s entire population or specific sub-populations. This can help national-level decisionmakers more effectively prepare for seasonal influenza epidemics and future influenza pandemics. Learn more about the tool.
