Influenza Activity Increasing
Influenza activity in US is increasing, but still remains relatively low. The
assessment comes from CDC's FluView report for the week ending Dec. 31, 2011.
That makes this the ideal time to get vaccinated. There are early indications
that flu season may be getting underway. Three regions of the country report
elevated levels of influenza-like illness and more states and territories
reported greater geographical spread of
influenza. It is too early in the flu season to determine how well the seasonal
flu vaccine and circulating influenza viruses will match. However, most of the
seasonal influenza viruses that have been submitted
for characterization so far are well-matched to the 2011-2012 influenza vaccine.
