This has been a bad #flu season for all ages, with #CDC estimating 43M illnesses, 560K hospitalizations & 24K deaths from flu so far this season. It's been a bad year for pediatric flu deaths. Though flu activity is subsiding, this figure will continue to climb because reports are often delayed.

This has been a very full-on flu season — the worst since well before the #Covid pandemic. #CDC says 2024-25 is now classified as a severe flu season, the first since the very bad 2017-18 season. Red arrow this year, blue arrow 2017-18.
