Maine CDC Health Advisory
April 4, 2019
Influenza Season Continues with Widespread Activity in Maine
Influenza activity remains elevated and widespread in Maine and throughout the United States. Influenza should continue to be considered as a possible diagnosis for patients with influenza-like illness, including a fever of 100F or higher and a cough or sore throat. Maine CDC recommends rapid antiviral treatment of high-risk patients with suspected influenza.
With sustained influenza activity, it is not too late to get vaccinated for the 2018-19 influenza season. Vaccination can reduce illness and prevent hospitalizations and death.
