Weekly update hub
What changed this week in the states that matter most
These pages are built for the repeat-check question: not “what does this disease mean?”, but “what actually changed this week where I live or where I’m watching?” Open the state update first, then go deeper only when you need the full dashboard or topic page.

Best companion hubs
Use weekly updates with the pages that carry the rest of the site
The weekly change log is strongest when it feeds people into the broader state, city, travel, and question pages that help them act on what changed.
Direct answers
Popular Questions
Open the question bank when you want a sendable answer before opening a dashboard or local page.
Travel tool
Travel Health Check
Best starting point for destination questions, group trips, or something you can forward before travel.
State hub
All state overviews
Start here when you want one statewide answer across flu, RSV, COVID-19, measles, and MMR context.
City hub
All city pages
Best for local orientation when someone asks what is going around near a real place, not just a whole state.
Routing answer
What is going around near me?
The sharpest first click for a fuzzy local search because it turns “near me” intent into a real state or city page.
Useful follow-ups
Open these after the weekly update
The weekly update gives the current picture. These pages help you go from what changed this week to the state, illness, or family-facing answer you need next.
