Flu in Cheektowaga: common questions
Is flu going around in Cheektowaga right now?

Why is there no weekly flu number for Cheektowaga?
New York does not currently participate in the CDC ILINet reporting network, so there is no reliable weekly outpatient flu percentage for the Cheektowaga area from that source.
