In this Deep Dive, we discuss the report from the UK Health Security Agency that details respiratory virus surveillance in England during the final week of 2024. Key findings show high influenza activity, baseline COVID-19 levels, and low respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) activity. 
The report uses various data sources, including laboratory testing, general practitioner consultations, and hospital admissions, to monitor the trends. 
Influenza A(H1N1) was the dominant influenza subtype. Data on vaccination uptake for both influenza and COVID-19 are also included, highlighting lower-than-previous-years influenza vaccination rates in some age groups.
