Mortality Associated With Influenza and Respiratory Syncytial Virus in the United States
William W. Thompson,David K. Shay,Eric Weintraub,Lynnette Brammer,Nancy Cox,Larry J. Anderson,Keiji Fukuda +6 more
TL;DR: Mortality associated with both influenza and RSV circulation disproportionately affects elderly persons, and influenza deaths have increased substantially in the last 2 decades, in part because of aging of the population, highlighting the need for better prevention measures, including more effective vaccines and vaccination programs for elderly persons.
