Ten-year performance of Influenzanet: ILI time series, risks, vaccine effects, and care-seeking behaviour

Highlights • ILI incidences from Influenzanet and ECDC correlate well over multiple seasons. • Northern Europeans visit their GP later and less often than Southern Europeans. • Young age, chronic disease, living with children, and pets are risk factors for ILI. • Using public transport daily and liv...

Summary:Highlights • ILI incidences from Influenzanet and ECDC correlate well over multiple seasons. • Northern Europeans visit their GP later and less often than Southern Europeans. • Young age, chronic disease, living with children, and pets are risk factors for ILI. • Using public transport daily and living with adults not linked with higher ILI risk. • Influenza vaccines confer moderate and season-specific protection from ILI.
