hospitalizations: Laboratory-Confirmed Influenza Hospitalizations

In cdcfluview: Retrieve Flu Season Data from the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ('CDC') 'FluView' Portal

Description

Laboratory-Confirmed Influenza Hospitalizations

Usage

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.
