- Influenza-like-illness (ILI) activity in the community remains at historically low levels in 2021. While ILI levels increased between January and May 2021, a gradual decrease has been observed since June.
- Notifications of laboratory-confirmed influenza have remained low since April 2020. In the year to date in 2021, there have been 419 notifications to the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS) in Australia, of which 27 notifications had a diagnosis date this fortnight.
Severity
- There is no indication of the potential severity of the 2021 season at this time.
- In the year to date, of the 419 notifications of laboratory-confirmed influenza, no influenza-associated deaths have been notified to the NNDSS.
- There have been no hospital admissions due to influenza reported across sentinel hospitals sites since commencement of surveillance in April 2021.
Impact
- Given the low number of laboratory-confirmed influenza notifications, low community ILI activity, and no hospitalisations due to influenza at sentinel hospital sites, it is likely there is minimal impact on society due to influenza in 2021 to date.
At-risk populations
- In 2021 to date, children under 5 years of age, adults aged 60–69 years, and adults aged 85 years and older, have the highest influenza notification rates.
