The visual data illustrate aspects of flu in 1996, including the number of deaths (period March-May and June-August) and cases (from February until December) for males and females, as well as the percentage distribution of groups at risk among females (in June).
In general, females recorded a higher number of deaths and cases than males. In addition, those aged over 65 years old have a larger percentage of vulnerability groups among female recipients.
Dying due to flu shows in the period March to May (males: 0, females: 1) and June to August (males: 2, females: 4). It is noticeable that females become the greater figure. Following that, flu rates for both genders increased broadly in line with deaths from flu, with the figure from 0 cases in February to about 1500 cases (by males) and around 2500 cases (by females) in December. It reached a peak at 2600 (males) and 3500 (females) in June.
Turning to the group among female recipients, the largest percentage was observed in those aged (over 65 years old) with 35%, followed by those not given the vaccine in 28%, babies or children at 24%, and hospitalised at 13% (represented the lowest number).
