Estimation of influenza ‐attributable medically attended acute respiratory illness by influenza type/subtype and age, Germany, 2001/02–2014/15
ConclusionWe constructed a model that is well suited to estimate the substantial impact of influenza on the primary care sector. A(H3) causes overall the greatest number of iMAARI, and influenza B has the greatest impact on school‐age children. The model may incorporate time series of other pathogens as they become available.

Nurses ’ Attitudes towards Enforced Measures to Increase Influenza Vaccination: a Qualitative Study
ConclusionThe perception of choice is crucial to the acceptance of a measure. Respect for choice and autonomy has a positive effect on behavioural change.Mandatory influenza vaccination as a condition of new (and perhaps ongoing) employment could be a feasible, effective and ethical measure to increase vaccination rates among nurses who oppose vaccination.This article is protected by copyright.

Severe mortality impact of the 1957 influenza pandemic in Chile
ConclusionsThe estimated A/H2N2 mortality burden in Chile is the highest on record for this pandemic – about 3‐5 times as severe as that experienced in wealthier nations. The global impact of this pandemic may be substantially underestimated from previous studies based on high‐income countries.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
