Maps of influenza activity are important tools to monitor influenza epidemics and inform policymakers. In France, the availability of a high‐quality data set from the Oscour® surveillance network, covering 92% of hospital emergency department (ED) visits, offers new opportunities for disease mapping. Traditional geostatistical mapping methods such as Kriging ignore underlying population sizes, are not suited to non‐Gaussian data and do not account for uncertainty in parameter estimates.
