    Healthy Communities Keep Virginia Safe Tournament

    Question

    The 2020-2021 flu season, during which public health measures like mask-wearing were in place, saw 0 reports of influenza-associated pediatric deaths.

    There is now substantial uncertainty as to what the nature (timing and magnitude) of the 2021-2022 flu season will be. This uncertainty also extends to Virginia.

    How many influenza-associated pediatric deaths will there be in Virginia during the 2021-2022 flu season?

    This will resolve on the basis of the number of influenza-associated pediatric deaths that is reported by VDH in their “2021-22 Season Influenza Surveillance End-of-Season Report,” which will be accessed here.
