Track Flu Season from one location

Mercedes Medical has the tools you need to stay ahead during this Flu Season.

Get Early Warning for Flu Outbreaks

Google Flu Trends uses web searches for flu symptom descriptors to create an early warning system for influenza outbreaks. This has been shown to predict CDC reports with statistically significant accuracy, and has the added advantage of delivering Flu outbreak data up to a week in advance of official CDC data.

Get breakdowns by State and compare Flu infection rates to previous flu seasons. This can help you determine if Flu in your area is likely to be more prevalent than in previous years, and take the necessary precautions.

Click Here or on the graph below to open Google Flu Trends.


 

Track H1N1 "Swine" Flu

The "FluTracker" H1N1 Tracker map was developed by Dr. Henry Niman, a biomedical researcher. Using technology provided by Rhiza Labs and Google™, the map compiles data from official, news, and unofficial sources, updated multiple times per day.

Get data by State, Region and City using the familiar Google Maps™ interface.

The CDC also provides a weekly "FluView" update based on Influenza-like Illness (ILI) reports. They provide flu reports by state and region, and comparisons to previous years for the nation.
