Creating a Local Geographic Influenza-like Illness Activity Report

Mapping ILI surveillance data can be useful in identifying the direction and speed of an outbreak and for focusing control measures for an efficient public health response. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) ILINet currently displays weekly ILI geographic data at a national/regional/state level, but this visual data could also be useful at the local level.

Objective

To create a local geographic influenza-like illness (ILI) activity report.
