Link to 2017-18 thread: https://flutrackers.com/forum/forum/...17-2018-season 2018-2019 Influenza Season Week 41 ending October 13, 2018
All data are preliminary and may change as more reports are received.
An overview of the CDC influenza surveillance system, including methodology and detailed descriptions of each data component, is available at http://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/overview.htm.,
Synopsis:
Influenza activity in the United States remains low. Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09, influenza A(H3N2), and influenza B viruses continue to co-circulate, with influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses reported most commonly by public health laboratories during the most recent three weeks. The first influenza-associated pediatric death occurring during the 2018-2019 season was reported this week. Below is a summary of the key influenza indicators for the week ending October 13, 2018.- Viral Surveillance: Influenza A viruses have predominated in the United States since the beginning of July. The percentage of respiratory specimens testing positive for influenza in clinical laboratories was low.
- Virus Characterization: The majority of influenza viruses characterized antigenically and genetically are similar to the cell-grown reference viruses representing the 2018–2019 Northern Hemisphere influenza vaccine viruses.
- Antiviral Resistance: All viruses tested since late May show susceptibility to the antiviral drugs oseltamivir, zanamivir, and peramivir.
- Influenza-like Illness Surveillance: The proportion of outpatient visits for influenza-like illness (ILI) remained low at 1.4%, which is below the national baseline of 2.2%. All regions reported ILI below their region-specific baseline level.
- ILI State Activity Indictor Map: New York City, the District of Columbia, and 49 states experienced minimal ILI activity, and Puerto Rico and one state had insufficient data.
- Geographic Spread of Influenza: The geographic spread of influenza in Guam and two states was reported as local activity; the District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands and 40 states reported sporadic activity; eight states reported no activity; and Puerto Rico did not report.
- Pneumonia and Influenza Mortality: The proportion of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza (P&I) was below the system-specific epidemic
October 20th, 2018, 02:28 PM - Viral Surveillance: Influenza A viruses have predominated in the United States since the beginning of July. The percentage of respiratory specimens testing positive for influenza in clinical laboratories was low.

An evaluation and update of methods for estimating the number of influenza cases averted by vaccination in the United States.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION:
To evaluate the public health benefit of yearly influenza vaccinations, CDC estimates the number of influenza cases and hospitalizations averted by vaccine. Available input data on cases and vaccinations is aggregated by month and the estimation model is intentionally simple, raising concerns about the accuracy of estimates.
METHODS:
We created a synthetic dataset with daily counts of influenza cases and vaccinations, calculated "true" averted cases using a reference model applied to the daily data, aggregated the data by month to simulate data that would actually be available, and evaluated the month-level data with seven test methods (including the current method). Methods with averted case estimates closest to the reference model were...October 20th, 2018, 02:12 AM -
