Influenza: temporal trends in mortality, hospitalization, and vaccination in the older adults population aged 60 and more years, Brazil, 2000–2023
The impact of Covid-19 on mortality and hospitalization rates from 2020 beyond is evident. The role of the federal government in controlling pandemics and the importance of vaccination, among other measures, are highlighted. Currently, the challenge is to increase immunization against influenza, a disease with low mortality and hospitalization rates for the population of this study, but with high transmissibility in the general population, with an impact not only on health, but also on social and economic wealth.
