Table S.2 contains summary statistics for inpatient hospital admissions with a primary influenza diagnosis, average monthly AQI per county-month, and the number of days with AQI ≥ 100. We use the standard deviation of the AQI during the influenza season (12.79) as well as the average inpatient hospitalization numbers (3.01) for the calculation of absolute effects based on our Poisson Pseudo-Maximum Likelihood estimation.
