RSV Disease Burden in Older Adults: An Italian Multiregion Pilot Study of Acute Respiratory Infections in Primary Care Setting, Winter Season 2022–2023
Our pilot study highlights the need for an ARIs surveillance system for older adults in primary care. This is crucial for defining vaccination strategies to reduce the disease burden on these patients and the healthcare system. Moreover, these data are essential for assessing costs and parameters for cost-effectiveness models, facilitating informed decisions in public health planning and resource allocation.
