The weekly influenza and RSV case reports have been updated to now include information on COVID-19 cases in Monroe County, including hospitalization and death rates by age groups.
This week (December 4 – 8) is recognized nationally as Influenza Vaccination Week, reminding us that there is still time to receive the flu vaccine. Local data on both flu and RSV infections are available again this season, thanks to the work of the Emerging Infections Program (EIP) at the Center for Community Health & Prevention and our colleagues at CARES.
As the temperatures continue to rise this summer, consider cooling off at a local spray park, mapped at RocHealthData’s map room. While there, view local heat index data.
