The Ministry of Health has issued a public advisory due to a rise in influenza cases across Kenya.

• The surge aligns with Kenya's typical seasonal influenza patterns, usually seen between late February and May, and again from July to October.
• Director-General for Health Dr. Patrick Amoth confirmed the situation is being closely monitored with enhanced surveillance and preparedness measures.
• While most cases are mild, individuals under 5, older adults, pregnant women, and those with underlying health conditions are at higher risk of serious illness.
