Estimates released on Dec 30, 2025, showed at least 7.5 million illnesses, 81,000 hospitalisations and 3,100 deaths so far this season, with experts warning the numbers are likely to keep rising.
Holiday travel, low vaccination rates and misinformation are contributing to the spike, public health experts told Reuters.
Among 275 viruses collected since Sept 28 that underwent additional genetic characterisation at the CDC, 89.5 per cent belonged to subclade K, a variant of the influenza A(H3N2) virus.
