30, 2019 (Graphic: Business Wire)
Now in its fifth flu season, the Walgreens Flu Index was
developed as a tool for consumers, health officials and the media
to track flu activity in their area, and it continues to be an
indicator of flu activity and important reminder to take preventive
measures, such as receiving a flu shot, to stay healthy throughout
the flu season.
The Walgreens Flu Index is compiled using the drugstore chain’s
weekly retail prescription data for antiviral medications used to
treat influenza across Walgreens and Duane Reade locations
nationwide. In addition to the top markets and states, the Flu
Index also ranks the markets and states experiencing the greatest
gains in activity on a week-over-week basis.
The weekly report is also available through an online,
interactive map, which allows anyone to search and find information
regarding the most current state of influenza in their community.

Methodology
The Index is not intended to illustrate levels or severity of
flu activity, but rather, based on this methodology, to show which
populations are experiencing the highest incidences of influenza
within the U.S. and Puerto Rico each week.
Data for the Walgreens Flu Index is analyzed at state and
geographic market levels to measure absolute impact and incremental
change of antiviral medications on a per store average basis, and
does not include markets in which Walgreens has fewer than 10
retail locations.
