    Snippet: We build on the existing evidence that links ambient air pollution with influenza spread and severity (13, 16, 17, 21, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35) with two significant advancements toward improving causal inference (36). First, we exploit a long panel of influenza-specific hospital admissions from numerous states across the United States (U.S.) to estimate statistical models that exploit both spatial and temporal variation within .....
    Document: We build on the existing evidence that links ambient air pollution with influenza spread and severity (13, 16, 17, 21, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35) with two significant advancements toward improving causal inference (36). First, we exploit a long panel of influenza-specific hospital admissions from numerous states across the United States (U.S.) to estimate statistical models that exploit both spatial and temporal variation within counties over time, limiting threats from confounding factors. Second, to better understand the causal link, we explore the role of the influenza vaccine in moderating this relationship. If the vaccine reduces infections and the probability of influenza spread, seasons in which the vaccine is more effective should weaken the link between air pollution and influenza (37).
