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.
# NOT RUN {hosp_fs <- hospitalizations("flusurv", years=2015)
