The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) noted on Friday that its latest data show that the hospitalization rate for influenza is the highest in over a decade for this time of the year.
The cumulative hospitalization rate is “higher than the rate observed in week 45 during every previous season since 2010-2011,” according to the CDC in its updated Weekly U.S. Influenza Surveillance Report on Nov. 18.
