*Annual influenza coverage 34.5% in 2-15 year olds, 53.6% in 16-65 year olds, and 72.4% in those aged ≥65 years.27 Sum of costs of separate risk groups are higher than total costs of any risk group as people may have more than one underlying condition.

†Annual uptake 4.1% in 2-15 year olds, 1.5% in 16-65 year olds, and 7.2% in those aged ≥65 years). See appendix 7 in supplementary file.
