Where can I get information on influenza and its surveillance?

Information regarding influenza surveillance is available year-round from CDC at www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/fluactivitysurv.htm. The full FluView surveillance report is published each Friday afternoon from October through mid-May and an abbreviated FluView report is published Mid-May through September. In addition, periodic updates about influenza are published in MMWR.

State and local health departments should be consulted regarding local availability of influenza vaccine, access to vaccination programs, information about state or local influenza activity, and for reporting influenza outbreaks and receiving advice regarding their control.
