Abstract: Healthcare costs were twice as high among influenza patients with complications versus those without, with inpatient and outpatient services being the primary cost drivers. Now with the universal recommendation for seasonal influenza vaccination for all individuals ≥6 months of age, improvement in coverage rates may help reduce the healthcare utilization and costs associated with influenza and associated complications.
