FluSight: Flu Forecasting

CDC provides forecasting teams data, relevant public health forecasting targets, and forecast accuracy metrics evaluated against actual flu activity.

Unlike CDC’s traditional influenza surveillance systems, which measure influenza activity after it has occurred, flu forecasting offers the possibility to look into the future and better plan ahead, potentially reducing the impact of flu.

Current Flu Forecasting:

Each week during the influenza season, CDC displays the forecasts received through the Epidemic Prediction Initiative(EPI). Forecasting for the 2018–2019 influenza season has ended. Forecasting for the 2019–2020 influenza season will resume in late fall 2019.
