Influenza

Influenza (commonly known as flu) is a respiratory infection.

The healthcare data we have for influenza comes from a sentinel surveillance system (a data collection method used to monitor trends). This means the influenza healthcare data is not a count of every person being treated for influenza in hospital. Find out more about data collection for influenza.

As the UKHSA data dashboard is still undergoing statistical review, do not use the dashboard data. For reporting and analytical purposes, use the COVID-19 dashboard and the weekly surveillance report.
