  1. *For influenza in pregnant/postpartum women, the rate outside of influenza seasons was zero and therefore no confidence intervals could be calculated.
  2. ^Because of small numbers of influenza diagnoses outside of influenza seasons, predicted values were based on a constant mean value outside of influenza seasons.
