Influenza activity is declining nationally, but remains high in parts of the country and may continue for some time. This season has been severe for people 65 and older with key indicators showing many hospitalizations and deaths in that age group. CDC recommends that high risk persons, including seniors, seek care as soon as possible for flu symptoms because antiviral treatment can avert serious flu outcomes.
