This dataset includes weekly counts of laboratory-confirmed influenza (flu) cases, by county and influenza type, going back to the 2009-10 season. The primary goal of this dataset is to provide users timely information about local influenza activity throughout the current influenza season. Although each influenza season is unique, historical data is also provided for trend comparison. In view of persisting elevated influenza activity throughout NYS, NYSDOH is extending the surveillance 2021-2022 season beyond May until influenza activity has decreased.

• Rapid Influenza Diagnostic Tests (RIDT)
• Immunofluorescence assays (DFA and IFA)
• Rapid Molecular Assays
• Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR)
• Other Nucleic Acid Amplification tests
• Viral Culture

This dataset includes weekly counts of laboratory-confirmed influenza (flu) cases by age group.

This dataset includes weekly aggregate counts of persons hospitalized with laboratory-confirmed influenza (flu), by county beginning with the 2020-21 season. The primary goal of this dataset is to provide users timely information about influenza-associated hospitalizations throughout the current influenza season. Although each influenza season is unique, historical data is provided for trend comparison.
