Outcome % reduction in influenza-attributable burden (95% CI)*
Mean total reduction in number of cases of influenza-attributable burden
2010–2011 2011–2012 2012–2013 2013–2014
ILI GP consultations 6.2 (5.0–7.4) 21,084 9.9 (6.5–14.0) 8875 6.6 (4.6–9.2) 11,198 9.1 (6.1–13.7) 4153
Hospitalizations 6.1 (4.6–7.6) 2223 9.9 (6.4–14.1) 1500 6.5 (4.3–9.4) 5361 10.7 (6.2–17.8) 1251
Deaths 5.7 (4.1–7.6) 922 9.3 (5.8–13.3) 569 6.4 (4.2–9.3) 1704 9.4 (4.9–16.1) 793

*Reductions represents the percentage by which influenza-attributable burden was reduced in Scenario 2 (Scenario 1 for 2013–2014) in comparison to Scenario 1 (Scenario 2 for 2013–2014) by age group due to higher vaccination rates in 2- and 3- year- old children.

CI: confidence interval.
