Influenza Hospitalizations and Deaths Update

Please Note:

As of October 20, 2009, we are updating these numbers daily until further notice. The number of Oregon's confirmed cases reported on the CDC's website might differ from numbers posted here. If there is a discrepancy, data from our website should be considered as being the most accurate and up to date.

The numbers in this table represent hospitalizations and deaths from all types of influenza since September 1, 2009.

Almost all of the influenza viruses identified since then are pandemic H1N1 influenza.

These numbers are current as of 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, November 24, 2009. This page will not be updated again until Monday, November 30th due to the Thanksgiving holiday on November 26th and a mandatory office closure on November 27th due to state budget cuts. Numbers are provisional and may fluctuate due to reporting delays and case misclassifications.

Summary Prior to Sept 1, 2009

Between the start of the pandemic in late April and August 31, 2009, there were 116 Oregonians from 11 counties hospitalized with pandemic H1N1 influenza. There were also 12 deaths among Oregon residents.

Reporting Basics

In Oregon, all influenza-related hospitalizations and deaths are reportable as of September 1, 2009.

Q: Why does this table include all types of influenza (seasonal and pandemic H1N1)?

A: What we report here is the same information we provide to CDC. CDC is also reporting on all types of influenza. Almost all the influenza viruses identified so far this season are pandemic H1N1 influenza.
