a

Incidence rate / 1000 person‐years.

b

ARI is defined as a new onset of cough or worsening of chronic cough, with or without fever.

c

SARI is defined as new onset of cough, worsening of chronic cough or difficulty breathing with a fever ≥ 38.0°C that required hospitalization.

d

Poisson regression analysis is adjusted for age, sex, current smoking, influenza vaccination, weekly influenza activity, and number of hospital visits.

*

Statistically significant at P‐value < .05.
