The Communicable Disease Service (CDS) within the New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and our public health partners have been collecting information and conducting surveillance on influenza and influenza-like illness (ILI) for several years. While influenza data collection and surveillance is conducted year round, the report was published each week from MMWR week 40 (October) to MMWR week 20 (May). A new report has been developed for the 2024-2025 respiratory season. This weekly report summarizes surveillance information for COVID-19, influenza, RSV, and other respiratory illnesses and replaces both the Influenza Surveillance Report and the COVID-19 and Respiratory Illness Surveillance Report. This comprehensive Respiratory Illness Surveillance Report will be published all year round and will be saved here every week.
