Flu Season is Breaking Records: What You Need to Know

This flu season is breaking records, with the CDC reporting over 33 million illnesses, 430,000 hospitalizations, and 19,000 deaths-the highest surge in 15 years. Flu A, the more dangerous and contagious strain, is driving most cases, with hotspots in states like Massachusetts, Michigan, and Texas. Public health officials are especially concerned as flu vaccination rates among children are down, and the virus is expected to keep spreading into April. Haven't gotten your flu shot yet? It's not too late! Even if you've already had the flu, you can still catch another strain.
