Only 25 US states are reporting widespread activity of pandemic influenza, according to the latest update from the CDC. During the previous 3 consecutive weeks, widespread activity was reported in 46, 43, and 32 states. The CDC advises, nevertheless, that most indicators for flu activity remain higher than normal for this time of year.
As of December 3rd, more than 72 million doses of pandemic flu vaccine have been allocated (ie, ready for distribution) in the United States; more than 63 million have been shipped to ordering states or US territories. Approximately one half of the supplies have been allocated for 10 states.
