The Seasonal Influenza Disease Burden Estimator 

Seasonal influenza is a significant cause of global illness and death.

The Seasonal Influenza Disease Burden Estimator helps countries better understand their seasonal influenza burden, even if national surveillance data are limited. Using a multiplier-based approach, the tool estimates influenza cases and/or deaths by season for age groups across a country.

Users can print or email these estimates.
