Very Few Flu Cases Confirmed

The U.S. CDC FluView report for week #15 stated seasonal influenza activity continues to decline in most areas of the United States.

Nationally, the number of weekly flu hospital admissions has been decreasing since January 2024.

Unfortunately, four influenza-associated pediatric deaths occurring during the 2023-2024 season were reported to the CDC last week, bringing the flu season total to 142 pediatric deaths.

As of April 19, 2024, the CDC recommends that everyone six months and older get an annual flu vaccine as long as influenza viruses spread.

Flu shots (egg, cell, nasal-based) can still provide benefits this season.
