  • Trend plot with the trend and number of cases at EU/EEA level, by month, over the past five years getTrend()
  • Age and gender bar graph with the distribution of cases at EU/EEA level getAgeGender()

Two types of datasets can be used:

  • Any dataset specified as described in the package vignette.
