title: Influenza.
abstract: The BEACH program (Bettering the Evaluation and Care of Health) gathers data on many aspects of the GP-patient encounter including medications prescribed or supplied. We examined encounters recorded between April 2003 and June 2008 to trace the relationship between uptake of influenza vaccine in BEACH and the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing data on laboratory confirmed influenza.
