An honorable mention to users [Sergio](https://www.metaculus.com/accounts/profile/115725/), [datscilly](https://www.metaculus.com/accounts/profile/103777/), [dimaklenchin](https://www.metaculus.com/accounts/profile/103297/ "dimaklenchin"), [Scott\_Eastman](https://www.metaculus.com/accounts/profile/130684/ "Scott_Eastman"), [Perspectus](https://www.metaculus.com/accounts/profile/139876/ "Perspectus"), and [Grigfall](https://www.metaculus.com/accounts/profile/113018/ "Grigfall"), who ranked higher than some of the aforementioned users, but do not qualify for the dice prize as they were Pro Forecasters on this project.

This project, developed in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and supported by the National Science Foundation (Award No. 2438211), was the second Metaculus project in national-scale effort to combine CDC's computational modeling with human judgment forecasting to improve public health preparedness.

Similar to the 2023/24 respiratory season, forecasters provided predictions on 76 questions, encompassing topics such as measles, the H5N1 outbreak, and the vaccination rates and hospital burden of COVID-19, the flu, and RSV.
