Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The vaccination uptake in the relevant ?at risk? populations (patients 65 years) and the general population recorded by general practices | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Influenza positivity from virological swab data in vaccinated and unvaccinated patients stratified by ?at-risk? populations, age, sex and socioeconomic status. 2. Influenza positivity from serology data in vaccinated and unvaccinated patients stratified by ?at-risk? populations, age, sex and socioeconomic status, which will permit the estimation of incidence of influenza. 3. Consultation for influenza-related morbidity (e.g. influenza, pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD] and cardiac related consultations) and issue of antiviral therapy from general practice data in vaccinated and unvaccinated patients stratified by ?at-risk? populations, age, sex and socio-economic status 4. Mortality and influenza-related serious morbidity (e.g. influenza, pneumonia, COPD and cardiac related death and hospitalisation from SMR01 records) in vaccinated and unvaccinated patients stratified by ?at-risk? populations, age, sex and socioeconomic status 5. For patients with stored serology (and prior to the introduction of any vaccination) whether cross-reactivity occurs due to previous exposure to A/H1N1 or A/H1N1 vaccination, other pandemic influenza or other seasonal influenza vaccination or exposure. | — |
