Description:Influenza (flu) places a significant disease burden on the U.S. population each year, but the magnitude and timing varies from season to season, making the annual impact uncertain at the beginning of each season. Flu forecasting can change that by predicting in advance when and where increases in flu activity will occur. Unlike CDC’s traditional influenza surveillance systems, which measure flu activity while it is occurring, flu forecasting offers the possibility of looking into the future and better planning ahead, potentially reducing the impact of flu.
