Laboratory-Confirmed Influenza Hospitalizations
hospitalizations(surveillance_area = c("flusurv", "eip", "ihsp"),
region = "all", years = NULL)
Arguments
| surveillance_area |
one of "flusurv", "eip", or "ihsp" |
| region |
Using "all" mimics selecting "Entire Network" from the
CDC FluView application drop down. Individual regions for each
surveillance area can also be selected. Use surveillance_areas() to
see a list of valid sub-regions for each surveillance area. |
| years |
a vector of years to retrieve data for (i.e. 2014 for CDC
flu season 2014-2015). CDC has data for this API going back to 2009
and up until the previous flu season.
Default value (NULL) means retrieve all years. NOTE: if you
happen to specify a 2-digit season value (i.e. 56 == 2016-2017)
the function is smart enough to retrieve by season ID vs convert that
to a year. |
