Methodology
The Walgreens Flu Index™ is compiled using weekly retail
prescription data for antiviral medications used to treat influenza
across Walgreens locations nationwide. The data is analyzed at
state and geographic market levels to measure absolute impact and
incremental change of antiviral medications on a per store average
basis, and does not include markets in which Walgreens has fewer
than 10 retail locations.
