    o Viral Surveillance: Of 11,189 specimens tested and reported by U.S. World Health Organization (WHO) and National Respiratory and Enteric Virus Surveillance System (NREVSS) collaborating laboratories during week 14, 1,076 (9.6%) were positive for influenza.

    o Pneumonia and Influenza Mortality: The proportion of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza (P&I) was below the epidemic threshold.

    o Influenza-associated Pediatric Deaths: No influenza-associated pediatric deaths were reported.

    o Influenza-associated Hospitalizations: A cumulative rate for the season of 62.4 laboratory-confirmed influenza-associated hospitalizations per 100,000 population was reported.

    o Outpatient Illness Surveillance: The proportion of outpatient visits for influenza-like illness (ILI) was 1.8%, which is below the national baseline of 2.0%. Three regions reported ILI at or above region-specific baseline levels.
