2019 -2020 Flu Season
The CDC said as many as 42.9 million cases of influenza have been reported from Oct. 1, 2018 to May 4, 2019 resulting in 20.1 million medical visits and 647,000 hospitalizations. As many as 61,200 deaths attributed to the flu were reported since last year. The current guidelines recommend the flu vaccinations should be offered by the end of October. It takes about two week for the body to develop protection against the flu. “Optimally, vaccination should occur before onset of influenza activity in the community,” the CDC noted. “However, because timing of the onset, peak, and decline of influenza activity varies, the ideal time to start vaccinating cannot be predicted each season.” Therefore it is now time to receive the flu vaccine
