Make sure to quote and interpret at least one statistic.: The article "High Influenza Incidence and Disease Severity Among Children and Adolescents Aged <18 Years — United States, 2022–23 Season" by the CDC examines the unusually severe influenza season of 2022-23, particularly its impact on children and adolescents. It highlights those early increases in flu activity and co-circulation with other respiratory viruses led to high hospitalization rates among this age group.

The authors emphasize the importance of timely flu vaccinations and prompt antiviral treatments, stating, "During the 2022–23 influenza season, early increases in influenza activity, co-circulation of influenza with other respiratory viruses, and high influenza-associated hospitalization rates, particularly among children and adolescents, were observed" (CDC; 2023, October 13).
