The experimental flu vaccine was trialed in a large country town on females only, while the provided diagrams detail about deaths rates, number of cases and groups of people who were most at risk from flu. Overall, it can be seen that females were more vulnerable to flu than males. Concurrently, the flu posed most risk to 35% of women who were aged. (35% of all aged people were at most risk, in 1996.)
Looking closely at number of deaths from flu, over the period from March to May, 1 female died from flu. However, from June to August, death rates (witnessed/experienced) increased noticeable climbing to 4 people, while the contrasting trend was observed in death rate of males, accounting for only 2 people over the same period. Meanwhile, women over 65 accounted for lion’s share of group who were at most risk, registering 35%. The figures for children and people who were not vaccinated had relatively similar percentages, recording approximately 28% and 24%. In contrast, the people who were hospitalized had twice as much as low percentage of risk, accounting for 13%.
Regarding to number of flu related cases, in February, number of flu related cases were zero, while from this point on, number of cases reached to its peak, just over 2500 in males and 3500 in females, until June. In autumn term/from September to November, the figures for both genders started to decrease gradually, to around 1500 in males and 2500 in females. The two of them stayed stable until the end of a period.
