COCA Calls are designed to increase clinicians’ knowledge and competencies of threats to the public’s health, their effects on human populations and evaluation, and management strategies of these threats.

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted influenza activity during the past two seasons. Since October 2022, influenza activity has increased, signaling an early start to the U.S. influenza season. While it is not possible to predict influenza activity or the severity of the upcoming influenza season in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is preparing for co-circulation of influenza and SARS-CoV-2 viruses. While annual influenza vaccination remains the best way to prevent influenza, antiviral medications are an essential addition to vaccination—especially in treating outpatients with suspected or confirmed influenza, people at high risk for influenza complications, those with progressive disease, and hospitalized influenza patients. During this COCA Call, the presenter will provide an overview of CDC’s recommendations for healthcare providers about influenza diagnostics and the use of antiviral medications for the 2022-2023 influenza season, including considerations during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
