The spread of influenza this season has already resulted in 12,000 deaths, but it could be on the decline, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
Health officials said Friday that 6.3% of outpatient medical visits last week were due to flu-like illnesses, a drop from 7.5% just one month ago.
"It looks like for this first wave of (flu) activity, maybe we've seen the worst of that," said CDC's Lynnette Brammer, the leader of the CDC's Domestic Influenza Surveillance team.
