In Spain, information concerning severe illness due to influenza infection with associated admission to hospitals comes from a dedicated surveillance system developed during the 2009/2010 pandemic season.
Since week 40/2010 and up to week 06/2011 1 059 severe hospitalised confirmed influenza cases have been reported.
Severely affected cases were mostly in the 15 to 64 year age groups (66%).
Conversely 13% were less than five years old.
Of 944 cases with outcome information available 106 died (13% with no known risk factors).
Of the severe cases 662 had information available on the status of influenza vaccination for the 2010/2011 season and only 89 (13%) cases had been immunised.
Monovalent pandemic vaccines 2009 were reported to have been received by only 8% of hospitalised cases (41/504).
Among those hospitalised, 80% of the cases included were in groups which were recommended influenza vaccination (chronic diseases / pregnancy / obesity / being older than 60 years) and had not been vaccinated this season.
