Maine CDC Health Advisory
February 20, 2025
Updated Influenza Submission and Reporting Guidance
The 2024-2025 influenza season has been particularly active. Health care facilities are seeing an increased number of individuals for testing, which is resulting in a dramatic increase in test specimens sent to Maine's Health and Environmental Testing Laboratory (HETL) for subtyping and reported to the Maine CDC. To reduce the testing volume at HETL, the Maine CDC is making changes to submission and reporting requests.
