On 14 October, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that flu activity had risen in all 50 states as early as 7 October and urged Americans to get the flu shot without delay. The agency highlighted the unusually early surge and warned that waiting for the usual October-November schedule could leave many unprotected. Health experts had been warning of an early uptick since September, when epidemiologists reported higher-than-normal case numbers on the West Coast driven by an H1N1 strain, and officials in Los Angeles County urged residents to vaccinate promptly.
