2016-2017 Influenza Season Activity and Recommendations for Clinicians

2/14/2017

0 Comments

 
Influenza activity in the United States began to increase in early December, remained elevated through mid-January, and is expected to continue for several more weeks. Influenza A(H3N2) viruses have been most common this season, and influenza A(H3N2)-predominant seasons are often associated with more severe illness, particularly among young children and people 65 years and older.

Overview:
Annual influenza vaccination is recommended for all persons aged 6 months and older, and is the best way to prevent influenza. Available evidence consistently indicates that antiviral treatment, when initiated as early as possible, can be a useful second line of defense to treat influenza illness when indicated and can reduce severe outcomes of influenza.
During this COCA Call, clinicians will learn about 2016–2017 influenza activity to date, and hear an overview of CDC’s recommendations for healthcare providers including influenza vaccination and the use of antiviral medications for the treatment of influenza.

Objectives:

  • Describe the current status of influenza activity in the United States.
  • Explain the circulating influenza strains seen this season and the implications for clinicians.
  • Discuss antiviral treatment of influenza and implications for patient evaluation, testing, and treatment.
