Weekly U.S. Influenza Surveillance Report
CDC’s Influenza Division collects, compiles, and analyzes information on influenza activity year-round in the U.S. and produces FluView, a weekly influenza surveillance report.

Flu Vaccine Effectiveness Against Pediatric Deaths
A recently released CDC study recently released in Pediatrics examined the effectiveness of the flu vaccine to prevent laboratory-confirmed influenza-associated death among children, and shows that flu vaccination significantly reduced a child’s risk of dying from influenza. The findings underscore the importance for every child 6 months and older to get an annual flu vaccine, especially children at high risk of flu complications.
