The impact of a health problem can be measured by financial cost, mortality, morbidity, or other indicators. The severity of influenza disease in the United States can vary widely and is determined by a number of things including the characteristics of circulating viruses, the timing of the season, how well the vaccine is working to protect against illness, and how many people got vaccinated.

Influenza A and B types are able to cause epidemics, significant disease, and deaths. Type A viruses, cause severe symptoms, which are responsible for the highest burden of disease during seasonal epidemics. Influenza type B infections are usually milder and therefore more often detected in the context of localized outbreaks. Only type A viruses are responsible for the occasional worldwide pandemics.
