Returning for its [second year](https://www.metaculus.com/tournament/respiratory-outlook-23-24/), the Respiratory Outlook for 2024/25 aims to support and inform US public health officials in anticipating the burden of influenza, COVID-19, and RSV this upcoming fall and winter. You can contribute to these efforts by sharing your predictions on important questions about peak hospitalization rates, vaccination coverage, and the risk from threats such as measles and avian influenza.

Last year we regularly shared updates regarding the Respiratory Outlook forecasts with public health officials to aid their preparedness. This year, we will continue to share these forecasts along with insights from the comments. You can contribute to these updates by making forecasts and sharing your reasoning in the [Respiratory Outlook 2024/25](https://www.metaculus.com/tournament/respiratory-outlook-24-25/).
