Over 12 million people in the United States died from all causes between the beginning of January 2020 and August 21, 2023. Over 1.1 million of those deaths were with confirmed or presumed COVID-19.

Vaccine rollout in the United States Finding a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine was an urgent health priority since the very start of the pandemic. In the United States, the first two vaccines were authorized and recommended for use in December 2020. One has been developed by Massachusetts-based biotech company Moderna, and the number of Moderna COVID-19 vaccines administered in the U.S. was over 250 million. Moderna has also said that its vaccine is effective against the coronavirus variants first identified in the UK and South Africa.

This statistic shows the deaths with pneumonia as an underlying cause in England and Wales in 2023, by age and gender. In this year, pneumonia was the underlying cause of over *** thousand deaths for women aged 90 years and older.

Deaths counts for influenza, pneumonia, and COVID-19 reported to NCHS by week ending date, by state and HHS region, and age group.

Influenza and pneumonia caused around 10.9 deaths in the U.S. per 100,000 population in 2023. Influenza, or the flu, is a viral infection that is highly contagious and especially common in the winter season. Influenza is a common cause of pneumonia, although most cases of the flu do not develop into pneumonia. Pneumonia is an infection or inflammation of the lungs and is particularly deadly among young children and the elderly. Influenza cases Influenza is very common in the United States, with an estimated 40 million cases reported in 2023-2024. Common symptoms of the flu include cough, fever, runny or stuffy nose, sore throat and headache. Symptoms can be mild but can also be severe enough to require medical attention. In 2023-2024, there were around 18 million influenza-related medical visits in the United States. Prevention To prevent contracting the flu, people can take everyday precautions such as regularly washing their hands and avoiding those who are sick, but the best way to prevent the flu is by receiving the flu vaccination every year. Receiving a flu vaccination is especially important for young children and the elderly, as they are most susceptible to flu complications and associated death. In 2024, around 70 percent of those aged 65 years and older received a flu vaccine, while only 33 percent of those aged 18 to 49 years had done so.

According to preliminary data between January and October 2024, *** percent of deaths in the Philippines were caused by pneumonia. Deaths from such illnesses significantly dropped from 2020 onwards, from its peak share of **** percent in 2019.

Pneumonia death rates by county, all races (includes Hispanic/Latino), all sexes, all ages, 2019-2023. Death data were provided by the National Vital Statistics System. Death rates (deaths per 100,000 population per year) are age-adjusted to the 2000 US standard population (20 age groups: <1, 1-4, 5-9, ... , 80-84, 85-89, 90+). Rates calculated using SEER*Stat. Population counts for denominators are based on Census populations as modified by the National Cancer Institute. The US Population Data File is used for mortality data. The Average Annual Percent Change is based onthe APCs calculated by the Joinpoint Regression Program (Version 4.9.0.0). Due to data availability issues, the time period used in the calculation of the joinpoint regression model may differ for selected counties. Counties with a (3) after their name may have their joinpoint regresssion model calculated using a different time period due to data availability issues.

The total number of deaths caused by pneumonia in Japan amounted to approximately ***** thousand cases in 2023, continuing a general downward trend since 2014. Pneumonia is one of the main causes of death in Japan.

Objective: On 11 March 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake struck off Japan. Although some studies showed that the earthquake increased the risk of pneumonia death, no study reported whether and how much tsunami increased the risk. We examined the risk for pneumonia death after the earthquake/tsunami. Design: This is an ecological study. Setting: Data on population and pneumonia deaths obtained from the Vital Statistics 2010 and 2012, National Census 2010 and Basic Resident Register 2010 and 2012 in Japan. Participants: About 5.7 million subjects residing in Miyagi, Iwate and Fukushima Prefectures during 1 year after the disaster were targeted. All municipalities (n=131) were categorized into inland (n=93), that is, the earthquake-impacted area, and coastal types (n=38), that is, the earthquake- and tsunami-impacted area. Outcome measures: The number of pneumonia deaths per week was totaled from 12 March 2010 to 9 March 2012. The number of observed pneumonia deaths (O) and the sum of the sex- and age-classes in the observed population multiplied by the sex- and age-classes of expected pneumonia mortality (E) were calculated. Expected pneumonia mortality was the pneumonia mortality during the year before. Standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) were calculated for pneumonia deaths (O/E), adjusting for sex and age using the indirect method. SMRs were then calculated by coastal and inland municipalities. Results: Six thousand six hundred three subjects died of pneumonia during 1 year after the earthquake. SMRs significantly increased during the 1st to 12th week. In the 2nd week, SMRs in coastal and inland municipalities were 2.49 (95% CI 2.02 to 7.64) and 1.48 (95% CI 1.24 to 2.61), respectively. SMRs of coastal municipalities were higher than those of inland municipalities. Conclusions: Earthquake increased the risk of pneumonia death and tsunamis additionally increased the risk.

Years of life lost due to mortality from pneumonia (ICD-10 J12-J18). Years of life lost (YLL) is a measure of premature mortality. Its primary purpose is to compare the relative importance of different causes of premature death within a particular population and it can therefore be used by health planners to define priorities for the prevention of such deaths. It can also be used to compare the premature mortality experience of different populations for a particular cause of death. The concept of years of life lost is to estimate the length of time a person would have lived had they not died prematurely. By inherently including the age at which the death occurs, rather than just the fact of its occurrence, the calculation is an attempt to better quantify the burden, or impact, on society from the specified cause of mortality.

Directly age-Standardised Rates (DSR) per 100,000 population Source: Office for National Statistics (ONS) Publisher: Information Centre (IC) - Clinical and Health Outcomes Knowledge Base Geographies: Local Authority District (LAD), Government Office Region (GOR), National, Strategic Health Authority (SHA) Geographic coverage: England Time coverage: 2005-07, 2007 Type of data: Administrative data

In 2020, approximately ** men and ** women per 100,000 population died as a result of pneumonia in England and Wales. In every year in the provided time interval the mortality rate was higher among men, although both genders have experienced a general decline in deaths from pneumonia. Regionally, the North West had the highest mortality rate for both genders.

Pneumonia risk groups

The age groups most at risk from pneumonia is undoubtedly the older age groups. In 2021, in England and Wales, pneumonia was the cause of death for approximately *** thousand over ** year olds, of which *** thousand were women. Furthermore, around *** thousand individuals aged between 80 and 89 years lost their lives due to pneumonia in 2021.

Prevalence of other lung diseases

In England and Wales in 2019, the mortality rate from bronchitis for men was around ** per 100,000 population, while the rate for women was approximately **. The mortality rate for bronchitis was higher than pneumonia, this is caused in part by the large decline in the mortality rate of pneumonia since the year 2000.

Death rate due to pneumonia, by sex (number of deaths per 100 000 inhabitants, adjusted to a standard age distribution, and as defined by the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD)).
