Situation Update: Summary of Weekly FluView Report
FluView - Weekly Influenza Surveillance Report

 

Weekly Influenza SurveillanceWeekly Influenza Surveillance

The most recent FluView report shows that flu activity continues to decrease in the United States. While flu activity has peaked nationally for this season, some parts of the country are still experiencing widespread flu. Ongoing activity is expected to continue for a number of weeks. Also, flu viruses circulate at low levels during the summer.

CDC recommends a yearly flu vaccine for everyone 6 months and older. Vaccination can reduce flu illnesses, doctors' visits, and missed work and school due to flu illness, as well as prevent flu-related hospitalizations.

CDC also recommends that patients suspected of having influenza who are at high risk of flu complications or who are very sick with flu-like illness should receive prompt treatment with influenza antiviral drugs without waiting for confirmatory testing.

New CDC Vaccine Effectiveness Study Uses Innovative Approach to Measure Vaccine Benefits

A new report released in the Journal of Infectious Diseases (JID) describes one of the first vaccine effectiveness (VE) studies to combine patient VE data with laboratory testing data on the genetic properties of different H3N2 viruses that circulated during the 2014-2015 season. Researchers used this information to detect differences in protection provided by the 2014-2015 seasonal flu vaccine against the multiple genetic groups of H3N2 viruses that circulated that season.
