Key Takeaways for the Week of December 11, 2025
- COVID, flu, and RSV currently remain at low levels, but emergency department data and lab testing show that flu and RSV are starting to increase. Now is a great time to get your flu and COVID vaccine from your healthcare provider or pharmacy. Learn more about fall vaccine recommendations and where to get one.
- Emergency department data show a large increase in flu diagnoses among kids aged 17 and younger and adults 18 to 44. Emergency department data also show that RSV diagnoses in kids 4 and under continue to sharply increase.
- We've updated the page on hospitalization rates by race and ethnicity for COVID, flu, and RSV, to include data from the 2024-2025 respiratory season.
- Due to the Christmas and New Year’s Day holidays, the dashboard will be updated on Tuesday, December 23, and Tuesday, December 30, instead of the usual schedule.
