Flu Forecasting

CDC has posted the first flu forecasts for the 2022-2023 season. Flu forecasting aims to predict in advance what will happen with the level of flu hospitalizations nationally as well as by state. This week’s FluSight forecasts predict continued flu hospitalizations with possibly 5,600 to 17,000 new admissions during the week-ending January 21, 2023.

New Spotlight on Flu Vaccination Coverage
CDC posted a web update on flu vaccination uptake this season, with data on vaccination among pregnant people, children, adults, coverage by location, and place of vaccination. Of note, among both children and adults, coverage in urban and suburban parts of the country continues to be higher than in rural areas. CDC continues to recommend flu vaccination as the flu season is ongoing.
