Seasonal Influenza-Associated Hospitalizations Report
Butler County saw one confirmed influenza-associated hospitalizations for the morbidity and mortality weekly report (MMWR) week ending 10/22/2022. This is a total of eight confirmed influenza-associated hospitalizations for the 2022-2023 influenza season thus far in Butler County.
It is important to keep in mind that influenza itself is not reportable; only influenza-related hospitalizations. Thus, surveillance on influenza and other respiratory illnesses is difficult to track on a local level.
The best way to prevent influenza infection is to get vaccinated.
