Purpose
This page includes information about the estimated influenza (flu) disease burden prevented by vaccination from past seasons beginning with the 2010-2011 flu season using a dashboard. This dashboard includes vaccine prevented flu disease burden estimates for past seasons, summary pages comparing past seasons and age groups, and a table including the specific input values for the vaccine prevented flu disease burden model.
Past Seasons
The dashboard above is an interactive tool to access and visualize information about the estimated flu disease burden prevented by vaccination from past seasons, beginning with the 2010-2011 flu season. Pages include data tables for the vaccine prevented flu disease burden estimates for past seasons that can be downloaded using links on each page. There are also pages that include visuals designed to more easily compare the vaccine prevented flu disease burden across seasons, outcomes and between age groups. Information on How CDC Estimates the Burden of Flu Prevented by Vaccination and additional information about the 2021-2022, 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 flu seasons are also available.
