Flu Season Comes to America

The World Health Organization (WHO) recently published Influenza Update N° 459, highlighting current 2023 flu season trends.

As of November 27, 2023, the WHO stated that influenza detections globally increased due to increases in parts of the temperate Northern Hemisphere, including parts of Europe and Central Asia, North America, and Eastern and Western Asia.

Furthermore, in North America, influenza detections increased but remained low or below baseline.

However, Influenza-like illness has increased above the seasonal threshold in the United States, and influenza-associated hospitalizations have increased.
