Flu activity is slowly decreasing in Canada and seems to be winding down in the U.S., health officials say. "Overall, influenza activity in Canada remains at peak levels," the report's authors wrote. "Influenza activity is slowly decreasing in many parts of the country." The Immunization Monitoring Program Active or (IMPACT) network, which is made up of experts from pediatric hospitals, provides data on pediatric flu cases for the report. Toronto's SickKids anticipates an increase in activity each flu season when there's growing demand for care, a spokesperson said.
