 Weekly Influenza Surveillance
Flu activity is low across the United States, but influenza viruses circulate year-round and flu outbreaks can occur during the summer months. CDC recommends flu vaccination to prevent influenza and antiviral drugs for treatment, for high risk people especially. All 2013-2014 flu vaccine will expire by the end of June. Vaccine for next season is expected to be available beginning late summer.
Today, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted to recommend a preference for using the nasal spray flu vaccine (i.e., LAIV) instead of the flu shot (i.e., IIV) in healthy children 2-8 years of age when it is immediately available. ACIP is a panel of immunization experts that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
