Summary
This report summarises influenza statistics over the 2024 to 2025 winter period, including:- number of resident patients presenting to their GP with flu-like illness
- annual uptake of the seasonal influenza vaccination
Clinicians can use the numbers presenting with flu-like symptoms, alongside cases of influenza confirmed amongst patients to assess the extent of influenza on the Island.
The report also shows to what extent the previous year’s flu vaccines were delivered in advance of the winter flu season.
Also presented are data regarding deaths from influenza and pneumonia for the period 2015 to 2024.
Two newly identified datasets on positive influenza test results for hospital admissions have recently been identified and are currently undergoing validation and quality assurance. As a result, all positive influenza test result data have been excluded from this publication to ensure that statistics presented in this report reflect the true level of positive test results for hospital patients. Subject to the completion of quality assurance processes, the validated data will be included in this report as soon as possible.
