AB  - In this study, a fuzzy AHP-VIKOR method is presented to help decision makers 
      (DMs), especially physicians, evaluate and rank intervention strategies for 
      influenza. Selecting the best intervention strategy is a sophisticated multiple 
      criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem with potentially competing criteria. Two 
      fuzzy MCDM methods, fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (F-AHP) and fuzzy 
      VIsekriterijumska optimizacija i KOmpromisno Resenje (F-VIKOR), are integrated to 
      evaluate and rank influenza intervention strategies. In fuzzy AHP-VIKOR, F-AHP is 
      used to determine the fuzzy criteria weights and F-VIKOR is implemented to rank 
      the strategies with respect to the presented criteria. A case study is given 
      where a professor of infectious diseases and clinical microbiology, an internal 
      medicine physician, an ENT physician, a family physician, and a cardiologist in 
      Turkey act as DMs in the process.
