Prevalence and burden of Flu
The World Heath Organization (WHO) estimate that flu epidemics result in about 3 to 5
million cases of severe illness and 290,000 to 650,000 respiratory deaths annually3.
According to a report in 2018 by the International Longevity Centre UK (ILC), the savings made in the UK from averted premature mortality from vaccinations ranged from £90 million to £270 million4.
