Flu Season Migrates to Europe

The Weekly Influenza Surveillance Report #14, published today by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), indicates good news for the USA.

As of April 14, 2023, the CDC says seasonal influenza activity remains low nationally, with eight of 10 regions below their respective baselines.

However, the European CDC reported on April 14, 2023, there was a 15% influenza positivity for week 14/2023.

Of 41 countries and areas in Europe reporting on the spread of influenza viruses, 16 reported widespread activity across the Region.

The CDC continues to suggest anyone concerned about respiratory viruses should speak with a healthcare provider regarding their flu shot option.
