Weekly Influenza Surveillance
Flu activity is low in the United States, but some flu illness is still being reported. CDC recommends that vaccination efforts continue as long as flu viruses are spreading. And remember that flu antiviral drugs are a second line of defense to treat flu illness. People at high risk of serious flu illness should call a health care provider if they get flu symptoms.

CDC recommends annual flu vaccination for everyone 6 months and older and especially for children at high risk of serious flu-related complications.
