Weekly Influenza Surveillance Report

Influenza Surveillance Summary

The Ottawa County Weekly Influenza Report is a summary of local influenza (flu) trends that can be used to inform clinical practice, healthcare planning, and policy implementation. Data included in the report are from diverse sources including hospitals, outpatient clinics, schools and child cares, and long-term care facilities in Ottawa County. Because this report is based on aggregate reporting from community institutions, counts and metrics may change as data are obtained and updated. Therefore, numbers in this report may not be final, but a good reflection of flu activity in Ottawa County. An updated report is published each week at www.miOttawa.org/HealthData.
