This interactive tool, formerly known as the COVID-19 Index, allows users to track respiratory activity by geographic area, using testing data from over 5,000 Walgreens locations. By providing insights into the prevalence of influenza A and B alongside COVID-19, this index aids healthcare providers in organizing community outreach efforts, such as flu clinics, and empowers individuals to make informed decisions about their health, especially during the busy winter months.
