Rapid aging of influenza epidemics in China from 2005/06 to 2016/17: A population-based study
Based on estimates of excess mortality due to influenza from 2010/11 to 2014/15, by 2050, the annual number of respiratory disease-related deaths associated with influenza is projected to increase 2.5-fold. This finding highlights the importance of influenza vaccination among older individuals in China.
