Historically, Australian influenza notification rates have been highest in children, particularly in those aged less than 2 years.2 The highest annual hospitalisation rates for influenza overall have been recorded in children aged less than 6 months (192 per 100 000 per year), followed by children aged 6– 23 months (109 per 100 000 per year).2 Although paediatric hospitalisation rates are high, annual rates of influenzaassociated deaths in children are low compared with adults: 0.20– 0.39 per 100 000 children aged under 5 years compared with 0.65 per 100 000 in people aged 65– 74 years and 3.66 per 100 000 in people aged 75 years or more.2
