The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has issued the attached advisory related to increased influenza activity. CDPH directs clinicians to national recommendations for testing and treatment of influenza. In addition, the department recommends influenza immunizations for all persons six months or older who have not yet received influenza vaccine this season. Even if the vaccine effectiveness is limited, immunization can reduce illness, hospitalization and even death related to influenza.
