  • Description:
    In comparison to other recent seasons, the 2012-2013 season was moderately severe, with a high percentage of outpatient visits for influenza-like illness (ILI), high rates of hospitalization (particularly among people 65 years and older), and more reported deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza compared with recent years. This season had a somewhat early increase in flu activity through November and December, with a peak in late December. Influenza-like-illness rose quickly to well above the baseline of expected activity and remained elevated for 15 consecutive weeks, making this season slightly longer than average.

    Additional information about flu activity during the 2012-2013 season can be found in 2012-2013 Flu Season Draws to a Close and in the MMWR article Influenza Activity — United States, 2012-13 Season, and Composition of the 2013-14 Influenza Vaccine.
