This population-based retrospective cohort study found that increased influenza vaccination coverage was temporally associated with a decrease in ambulatory antibiotic use in children. After adjusting for yearly vaccine effectiveness, the antibiotic prescription rate decreased by 3/1000 person-months for each 1% increase in influenza vaccination coverage between 2012 and 2017 in South Carolina (P < 0.001).
