We don't usually see flu activity this high until December. Make sure you get a flu shot this season. The flu shot is a good match this year for the circulating strains!
First time I've ever seen the regional map purple this early in a season. Typically not even the peak of the season gets that bad, let alone October. Flu activity is especially high in the southeast right now.
Highest flu hospitalizations at this point in the season since the swine flu pandemic of 2009.
Help out our doctors and nurses this season. They are dealing with an early RSV season, an early flu season, and COVID. We may not have a RSV vaccine yet, but we have flu and coronavirus vaccines at least. You can get the flu shot and the new Omicron-specific booster at the same time.
