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.
