Table 4.

Estimated age-specific peak-incidence (peak-inc.) (per 1000) and cumulative attack rate (AR) (%) of H1N1 infections in the Italian population obtained with the TVR with-overdispersion models (Baseline, Susceptibility and Immunity variants). The attack rate is computed on the time period starting from week 31–2009 to week 7–2010. Mean and, in brackets, 5 to 95 percentile interval.
