RSV continues at endemic levels in Southern California

The RSV rates have stayed above the 10% threshold mark since before the holidays. We are currently running around 30-35% positive samples from all of our sites. Influenza is also prevalent in the community, with both A and B circulating. Reports from the CDC suggest that the circulating strains are indeed the ones contained in this year's seasonal influenza vaccine (both A and B).
We continue to see the occasional parainfluenza, adenovirus and even enterovirus.
