Influenza Epidemic Curves

Data Source: CDC FluView
Note: Additional influenza data (such as the number of hospitalizations and number of positive tests by type/subtype) are available on CDC FluView website

Some people may prefer to view these epidemiological curves as part of a MS Word Worksheet. The Worksheet may also be helpful if you think one of these epicurves on this page are incorrect. The worksheet can be downloaded from the home page.

Some people may prefer to complete the ballot in MS Word and submit via email. The Word document allows the user to click on lines and points to see the actual values which produced the curves. The MS Word ballot may also be helpful if you think one of the probability distributions on this page are incorrect. The MS Word ballot can be downloaded from the home page.
