Updated booster dose data for the total population and the population younger than age 18 years were added to the Vaccination Equity page.Please visit CDC’s COVID Data Tracker for COVID-19 data, CDC’s Respiratory Virus Hospitalization Surveillance Network (RESP-NET) for data on respiratory virus-associated hospitalizations, and CDC’s National Emergency Department Visits for COVID-19, Influenza, and Respiratory Syncytial Virus dashboard for data on emergency department patient visits with diagnosed COVID-19, influenza, and RSV. Note to Readers: COVID Data Tracker Weekly Review will publish every other week starting March 3, 2023. Note to Readers: The Disability Information and Access Line can help people with disabilities find local vaccination locations, make appointments, find accessible transportation options, and connect with other community resources to improve access to vaccinations. It remains important to stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines, especially for people at higher risk for severe disease. CDC is actively working with other federal government agencies and offices to maintain as much access as possible to vaccines, testing, and treatments. COVID-19 remains a critical public health issue, still the sixth leading cause of death in the United States in January 2023. To ensure the public continues to have access to COVID-19 data, CDC is working to determine which data products remain critical for monitoring public health, preparedness, and patient safety.ĬDC remains dedicated to preventing severe illness and death from COVID-19, with particular concern for people who are at higher risk. For example, some hospitalization data are now reported daily but may be reported less frequently in the future, and vaccine administration data might be reduced in some areas. Most CDC COVID-19 data activities won’t be directly affected, but there will be changes. The end of the PHE doesn’t mean that CDC will stop tracking COVID-19 and sharing information and data.

This is the first in a series of Weekly Review discussions about the end of the PHE and what it means for CDC and the data we report. Widespread prevention and control measures like vaccination are helping transition to a new era in the pandemic. However, we are in a much better place than we were three years ago. Many people remain at higher risk for severe illness and death.
COVID-19 remains a public health priority-it has impacted all aspects of daily life and contributed to a decline in life expectancy. A few weeks ago, the federal government announced plans to end the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE) on May 11, 2023.
