Trends in Influenza Vaccine Uptake and Severe Influenza-Related Outcomes at Kaiser Permanente Southern California, 2007-2017.

ABSTRACT: Major efforts to increase influenza vaccine uptake among Kaiser Permanente Southern California (KPSC) members have been undertaken in recent years. However, whether these improvements translate to a decline in severe influenza-related outcomes has not been examined. We aimed to understand the impact of the influenza vaccination program at KPSC by examining influenza vaccine uptake and 3 severe influenza-related outcomes. We conducted an ecologic trend analysis to understand influenza vaccine uptake and influenza-related hospitalization, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and mortality for each influenza season (2007-2017). The same cohort was followed from the influenza season to the noninfluenza season immediately afterward while using the noninfluenza season as the comparison group. We
